Port Adelaide has decided not to appeal Sam Powell-Pepper’s four game suspension for rough conduct against Adelaide Crows’ Mark Keane in last Friday night’s match simulation.
The following is to be attributed to Port Adelaide GM – Football Chris Davies.
“It’s clear that the AFL wants to set a precedent regarding head high contact ahead of the 2024 season.
“We accept that position and as a result will not contest the tribunal’s decision to suspend Sam for four matches.
“Further, we will not apply to the AFL for Sam to play in this Friday night’s AAMI Community Series match against Fremantle at Alberton.”
Powell-Pepper will next be available for selection for Port Adelaide’s Round 5 clash against Fremantle at Adelaide Oval on April 13.
