Port Adelaide chairman David Koch has been barred from entering South Australia to watch the Power\u2019s preliminary final clash against the Western Bulldogs.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Sydney-based television host was denied permission to travel to Adelaide after submitting an application to enter the state two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Western Australian Premier Mark McGowan said McGuire was not considered essential to the staging of the grand final.<\/p>\n

Port will host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval this Saturday night, with the winner to play Melbourne or Geelong for the premiership in the September 25 grand final at Perth\u2019s Optus Stadium.<\/p>\n
