Port Adelaide forward Jeremy Finlayson says his three-match ban for a homophobic slur “tipped me over the edge” as he vented his frustrations on his wife Kelly’s podcast in comments which were subsequently removed after a backlash.
Amid calls of harsher treatment for players, Jeremy Finlayson has declared what he really thought of his suspension for a homophobic slur .
In handing down the suspension, the AFL made it clear that he was saved from a longer ban because of his contrition and the next player to utter the same sort of slur would be sidelined for even longer. The podcast episode has since been edited and re-uploaded without that comment from Finlayson after being condemned online by some listeners.Amid the fallout from Finlayson’s ban, the AFL Players Association boss Paul Marsh called out the league for being “consistently inconsistent” after North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson escaped suspension for a homophobic slur during a pre-season clash with St Kilda.
