PORT Adelaide is at loggerheads with the AFL over the handling of the Sam Powell-Pepper investigation, demanding to see the integrity unit's full report that recommends further sanctions on the Power midfielder.
The Power have been handed a summary of the report, but claim it doesn't reflect what happened based on footage the club has obtained.
Powell-Pepper was involved in a late-night incident at an Adelaide nightclub in the early hours of Sunday morning, April 8.
The 20-year-old was handed a one-game club-imposed suspension for breaking team rules, but also stood himself down from last Saturday night's loss to Geelong while the matter remained unresolved.
"We want to see the report, because our view is the report does not reflect properly what actually went on at the nightclub," Power chairman David Koch told Adelaide radio station FIVEaa on Monday morning.
"The conversation is around further sanctions. On the evidence we have, it doesn't warrant further sanctions.
"We have video of the entire night and our view is that video doesn't match the findings of the integrity unit's report and we are backing our player.
"We think the allegations, and in particular some of the media allegations against Sam, on our evidence is completely misleading.
"That's why we want to see the report to see what other evidence that report contains, if any.
"We are stumped by that, we are frustrated by that, so frustrated, because it is putting enormous pressure on this young man.
"As I've said right from the very start, if there's evidence of any serious sexual abuse, then we would throw the book at any player, but our vision of what happened on the night bears no resemblance to that."
Koch said the Power would look to take all necessary steps to clear Powell-Pepper's name.
"We're happy or prepared to take this matter further, to a hearing," he said.
"We've got QCs' opinions on it who have actually seen the vision of the night.
"As I've said, if the vision showed anything to that level we would absolutely be the first to take action, but our view of it, is that it doesn't match what the integrity unit is alleging.
"That's why we want to see their report, because if they've got other evidence that shows that, we want to see it."
The AFL declined to comment when contacted by AFL.com.au.
