After apologising for a homophobic slur against an opponent, Port Adelaide's Jeremy Finlayson vents his frustration at the resulting three-match ban.
Suspended Port Adelaide forward Jeremy Finlayson has told his wife's podcast his sanction for a homophobic slur had "pissed me off".
Finlayson is currently sidelined as he serves his ban over the in-game incident, which happened during the Power's win over Essendon in round four. Finlayson was speaking during a regular segment on the podcast, in which hosts and guests highlight their "good, bad and offensive" talking points for the week."My 'offensive' is it pissed me off that I got a three-week suspension," Finlayson said.
In March, Clarkson was fined $20,000 and given a suspended two-match ban for a similar slur fired at St Kilda pair Dougal Howard and Jimmy Webster during a trial game. "We believe the AFL is consistently inconsistent and there are double standards in its approach to dealing with players compared to others on behavioural matters," Marsh said last week.
"This should be clear to everyone in the industry up-front, rather than the open-ended approach that is currently in place.''ABC Sport Daily is your daily sports conversation.
