Port Adelaide chairman David Koch says he has been threatened with a fine and competition points deduction over the guernsey stoush that is once again engulfing the AFL.

Port Adelaide's request to wear its iconic black-and-white striped "prison bars" guernsey for next weekend's Showdown with the Adelaide Crows has been denied by the AFL.Port chairman David Koch said the AFL would fine the club and dock points if it wore the geurnseyPort had requested to wear the guernsey for its local derbies with the Crows to honour the club's heritage as the Magpies, which they were called in their SANFL days.

Port Adelaide chairman David Koch said on Adelaide radio he asked what would happen if the team just wore the prison bars in round eight without AFL permission and he was told they would forfeit points from the game. then-Collingwood president Eddie McGuire put his foot down, referring the matter to the AFL's legal departmentMcGuire said on Channel Nine this week "let's just go to the Federal Court", while displaying a copy of a 2007 agreement that gave Port permission to wear the strip in now-defunct heritage rounds, provided the game was not against Collingwood.

"I again ask that if such agreements exist, the AFL present them. We've been through all of the license agreements, our original AFL license and tender documents, and we can find no such agreement," Koch said. Koch said the team had repeatedly asked over the past two years to wear the guernsey in the local derby matches, and said it was "ridiculous" that the AFL was dragging its feet.

Bunch of kids. Who cares!

Jeebus ppl! Does anyone do their own research anymore! It's an AFL trade mark issue, agreed to by Port on entry to the AFL, NOT the Pies or Ed or Bucks or Racism or.......🤨

Perhaps the AFL could put its time to better use in ensuring clash strips were really that. Just putting on white shorts is not the answer.

Just add some teal to it!

Prickly Port Adelaide team photo is elite-level trollingPort Adelaide has given Eddie McGuire a middle-finger in an extraordinary team photo that has ignited one of footy’s most petty feuds.
