AFL identity Eddie McGuire has torched Jeremy Finlayson after the suspended Port Adelaide star fired up about his ban for uttering a highly offensive on-field insult.
Finlayson, 28, is currently sidelined for three games following a homophobic slur he directed at an Essendon player earlier this month during Gather Round - but the key forward caused uproar this week after admitting on his wife's Sh!t Talkers podcast he was 'pissed off' about the ban.
He later clarified his comments, stating he 'should have provided more context' - but former Collingwood president McGuire believes the embattled star should be issued another sanction by the AFL.
'In this case, it wouldn't be beyond the pale of the AFL to go 'in you come again, there's an extra two week suspension',' McGuire fumed.
'You are not listening. You are not getting it. You did not realise how this put everybody in the industry and the whole of the AFL under the cosh, including [Port Adelaide] president David Koch.
'Keep it to yourself.'
