A B-grade suburban footballer jailed for breaking a grand final opponent's jaw in an act of "senseless violence" has failed in his bid to serve his prison term at home.
Mark Thomas Alan Harrison previously pleaded guilty to causing harm over the punch, which he inflicted while playing for Christies Beach Football Club against Flagstaff Hill in Adelaide's Southern Football League in 2018.
He was sentenced to one year and 10 months in prison, with a non-parole period of 11 months, but sought permission to appeal, claiming the sentence was excessive and he should have been granted home detention.
