Booney wrote:“There is a much bigger story at play here with the internal politics of what is going between the AFL and Port Adelaide,” footy reporter Sam McClure has told SEN.
“My understanding is Port Adelaide were pretty close to naming Powell-Pepper,” McClure said. “I know Port said it was Powell-Pepper who said he was ruling himself out.”
“I think you will find there was a bit of pressure from the AFL as well, saying we haven’t finished our internal investigation here, if we find he is X, Y and Z wrong, and you play him, then we both have egg on our face.
“I can only read between the lines and suggest that there is a sanction coming for Powell-Pepper from the AFL. Whether that’s matches or a fine, or both, I don’t know. Port Adelaide isn’t happy about it."

Nah, there are many more granular "categories" than that.
Misconduct, harassment, assault, rape...and severity therin

The wording "any serious sexual assault" suggests even the club understands there was a level (maybe even at a granular level) of sexual assault.
So is the club arguing that a level of sexual assault occurred, or is it just an example of bad wording?

"Any serious sexual abuse" is the working Koch used.
I'd imagine that would be worded differently if it was in a prepared statement and not during an interview.

Certainly made it sound like the vision showed him doing something but not what the girl has suggested.

He's a busy man, Koch, I'd like him to slow down sometimes when he's doing an interview as he can get his foot and the phone confused near his mouth and can put one in when it should be the other, especially with a razor sharp Penberthy on the other end looking for something to sensationalize.

Port start the year great. Cop an injury. Ken throws structure and common sense out the door. We struggle and scrag and lose to the better teams.
Pretty sure that's been 2015, 2016, 2017 and now... 2018.

Completely agree, and one thing we know about Ken is he is too stubborn to make changes and admit he was wrong. Clearly should play a ruckman. Won’t though, as doing so would admit he was wrong the last few weeks
