Interesting comments from Finlayson on his wifes podcast regarding his suspension... “(It) pissed me off that I got a three-week suspension, that’s it, that’s tipped me over the edge,” he said. “We’ll leave it there and (at) that.”

Apology counted for nothing it seems.

That indicates he's been provoked either earlier in the game or previous games....

Who knows.......even provoked surely he understands what can and cant be said.....i'm sure he wouldn't appreciate if someone mentioned his wife because they were provoked.

Only logical reason to be pissed would be the inconsistency of what he got and what Clarkson got.

Looked like Kellie attacked The Advertiser on Twitter when they reported what he said, and has since deleted the posts.

Busy morning for Richo and Norts at Alberton it seems.

[MW]

Something odd going on. Both The Advertiser article on it, and the podcast episode have both been deleted

Phones running hot all over I'm guessing.

I reckon the 'Tiser has grabbed a piece and used it, potentially out of context.

Hope so

Looks like Tiser used it out of context. Which is unlike them...

Posts have been taken down, podcast clipped, fair bit going on.

How is that the shocking part?

[mots02]

So was it said and then pulled / edited? or did the Advertiser get it wrong? or both?!

Port Adelaide footballer Jeremy Finlayson has detailed his emotions and vulnerabilities while dealing with the shocking 2021 cancer diagnosis of his wife and mother of his newborn daughter.

Kellie Finlayson was 25 when she was diagnosed with stage four terminal bowel cancer, just months after giving birth to her baby girl.

Appearing on his wife Kellie Finlayson’s Sh!t Talkers podcast – on an episode released on Tuesday – the Power forward star addressed questions from listeners, speaking about Kellie’s brave battle with cancer, being a father and husband, and his role as a footballer.

The podcast initially included comments that controversially addressed Finlayson’s three-game suspension for a homophobic slur against an Essendon player. Some of those comments were removed from the podcast on Wednesday morning.

He reflected on the joy of the birth of his daughter Sophia – born during the high of Covid lockdown – before the couple’s life was rocked by her cancer diagnosis.

“For me, when you heard the word cancer, it was oh my god, she’s going to die,” the star footballer said.

“When you got diagnosed, I was very scared and worried I was going to lose you with the newborn.

“I was scared and helpless really, I didn’t know what to do at the time. I was so lucky I had good people around me and around you as well.”

He said it was hard to see his wife go through the treatment and witness what such a “cruel disease” could do.

Finlayson said he should have sought professional help more as he dealt with the emotions of facing losing a loved one.

“Looking back, I should have reached out more,” he said.

As a man, most men try to put a brave face on, saying ‘I’ll be right’ … that’s when things actually overtake a human and get the worst of them.

He said he found the emotional toll was felt most at the end of last year.

“It wasn’t then and there for me, it was after 18 months or so of dealing with it, it took its toll,”

He encouraged other men to seek professional help to avoid carrying the weight of an issue that might have repercussions later.

Kellie penned her inspiring mindset in a recent column, as she explained a shift in mentality as she chose not to identify as a cancer victim or survivor but rather a “stage 4 colorectal cancer thriver”.

interesting The Advertiser pulls the article, changes it to cover his comments about his wifes diagnosis (rightly so, that is the main story), yet Herald Sun are running the original story.

:

“I made some comments on my wife Kellie’s Sh!t Talkers podcast yesterday that I need to address.

“I said “(It) pissed me off that I got a three-week suspension, that’s it, that’s tipped me over the edge. We’ll leave it there and (at) that.”

“When re-thinking my comments today, it’s clear that I should have provided more context.

“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.

“What I said on the field that night was totally unacceptable. I knew that at the time and I know it now. I stress, I have no issue with the sanction at all.”

Beautifully done
