Port Adelaide forward Jeremy Finlayson has been banned for three matches for using a homophobic slur. Finlayson directed a homophobic slur towards an Essendon player in the third quarter of the Power’s 69-point victory over the Bombers at Adelaide Oval on Friday night. It is understood an umpire’s microphone picked up the insult, which was heard by multiple players, and at least one Essendon player also called it out.
