P\ufeffort Adelaide<\/a> forward Jeremy Finlayson has been forced to issue a please explain after making further comments regarding his three-match suspension for using a homophobic slur<\/a> against an unnamed Essendon player.<\/p>\n

Finalyson was handed the ban for using a slur during the Power's 69-point win over the Bombers in round four<\/a> at Adelaide Oval.<\/p>\n

The forward's words were picked up on an umpire microphone during the game, with Finlayson admitting to his fault at three-quarter time of the match.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Finlayson and the Power released statements in the days following the incident, before the AFL confirmed his ban on the Wednesday that next week.<\/a><\/p>\n

In his apology at the time, the 28-year-old said he was "very remorseful".<\/p>\n

\"Finlayson<\/p>\n

"The word I used is very unacceptable in the game of football. We need to stamp it out and I'm very remorseful," Finlayson said in his first statement.<\/p>\n

The AFL later confirmed that Finlayson's punishment would have been more severe if he hadn't shown remorse and apologised immediately after the act.<\/p>\n

However, the forward has come under fire after joining his wife Kellie Finlayson's podcast, discussing his "offensive" in a regular segment.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"My 'offensive' is it pissed me off that I got a three-week suspension," Finlayson said on the now deleted Sh!t Talkers<\/em> podcast.<\/p>\n

\"Laidley<\/p>\n

"That's it. That's tipped me over the edge. That's about it. We'll leave it there … and move on."<\/p>\n

With the section of the podcast then making the rounds across social media, the Port Adelaide Football Club released a statement on behalf on Finlayson later on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

"I made some comments on my wife Kellie's Sh!t Talkers<\/em> podcast yesterday that I need to address," Finlayson said in the club statement.<\/p>\n

Finlayson took it upon himself to clarify his comments, declaring \ufeffhe should have "explained" why he was "pissed off".<\/p>\n

\"Finlayson\"<\/p>\n

"When re-thinking my comments today, it's clear that I should have provided more context," he said.<\/p>\n

"On reflection, I should have explained that I was bitterly disappointed that I said what I did during the game, and I am bitterly disappointed that I put myself and the club in the position I did. That is what I am most upset with.<\/p>\n

"What I said on the field that night was totally unacceptable. I knew that at the time and I know it now."<\/p>\n

He went on to clarify that he agrees with his sanction handed down by the league, which he served the first week of during the Power's round five three-point win over Fremantle.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"I stress, I have no issue with the sanction at all," Finlayson said.<\/p>\n

He will be available for selection in round eight.\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
