I was interested to see that Dean Bouzanis copped the minimum 5 week ban for racial vilification after calling Besart Berisha a "fudging gypsy".
Bouzanis got the minimum because he wasn't aware that calling Berisha a "fudging gypsy" was vilification and because he apologised personally and will undertake appropriate training.
I understand that racial vilification is a big issue in the round ball game but I think the AFL could take a leaf out of the FFA's book when it comes to dealing with vilification.
It's pretty rare that an AFL player tears up or complains from sledging like Berisha did!
