It is not the role of the club to punish him. That is the role of the justice system. Whatever penalty the court decides, that is his punishment. From the club's perspective, he has broken multiple directives. If there are contractual grounds for delisting, then that may be appropriate. In terms of a long term good to society, I think he should have to spend a year doing a "real" job-like plumber's assistant. and if has shown growth in his maturity then a rookie spot considered. The discussion here is extreme. Violence is never acceptable, but we do not know all of the details and relationships are complex.
I feel disgust every time Wayne Carey commentates, and the other commentators fawn over him like he is some type of hero. ( Thanks for the mute button). His behaviour was far worse than Elijah's, yet he has been accepted back into the fold.
Toby Greene is a thug, but he has been allowed to continue. One of the roles of a football club is to help young people become better people.
