'Dubbed a liar': Seething Port preparing Butters appeal
Port Adelaide are preparing to appeal Zak Butters’ fine for umpire abuse, believing the star midfielder has been branded a liar by the AFL Tribunal verdict.
As the AFL Players’ Association expresses deep concern at the tribunal not believing Butters’ testimony, Port chairman David Koch is “pretty certain” the club will appeal.
“He’s incredibly angry with the outcome. He quite rightly believes he’s been dubbed a liar in all this,” Koch told Adelaide radio station 5AA on Wednesday.
