In the aftermath of the AFL rejecting Port Adelaide's request to wear their Prison Bar guernseys in the Round 8 Showdown against the Crows, the Power are now considering legal action.
After Collingwood made it clear to the AFL that the wearing of the prison bar guernsey wasn't something they agreed with, the AFL opted to decline the Power's request to wear the guernsey, leaving Port Adelaide officials and many within the Power community, angry and disappointed.
But now, the Power may take it a step further and go over the AFL's head.
During a recent press conference, Port Adelaide CEO Matthew Richardson said the club were "extremely disappointed" with the AFL's decision to reject their bid to wear the black and white stripes.
“We’re extremely disappointed with the decision. We’re disappointed for the club, but more importantly we’re really disappointed for our fans,” Richardson said.
“This decision is not just about Port Adelaide, it’s actually about the passion and connection that all fans have for their clubs and we’re extremely disappointed.
“It’s an issue that is too important for our club and our people so it’s not going to go away.”
Richardson added that although the club's focus will go into this week's clash against Brisbane, the Power will continue to converse with the AFL to find a common ground.
“The most important thing for us really is we’ve got a game to play against Brisbane this weekend, that’ll be our focus then we’ll get to the week after,” he said.
“But we’ll certainly regroup and work out where to (from) here.
“As we’ve said all along, the issue is not going to go away.
“It’s an issue that’s too important for our club and our people.
“We’ll continue to have our conversations with the AFL we need to have in order to find a solution.”
