Port Adelaide Power football club chairman and television host David Koch has criticised legendary premiership-winning coach Mick Malthouse for calling on the Australian Football League (AFL) to stop playing its annual matches in China in light of the pandemic.

Koch, who recently said discussions were needed about the future of the China-based fixtures amid the pandemic, took offense and told Fox Footy Live that Malthouse had “zero relevance in any of this.”
