Port Adelaide club president David Koch has been called out after remarks he made surrounding Jeremy Finlayson’s homophobic slur .The club issued a statement on Saturday night confirming that a contrite Finlayson made the club aware during the three-quarter time break” of the incident “and apologised to the victim on the field after the final siren last night”.
“There’s no excuse for it. Jeremy was incredibly remorseful, actually told the coaches at three-quarter time that it was inexcusable, went and apologised to the player after the game,” Koch said. Koch however wasn’t on board with the two being linked and say the league had set a precedent with the ruling it handed down to North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson.
