ADELAIDE players are rallying around Ricky Henderson, saying it's disappointing explicit footage of the player was screened on television.

The Crows are demanding answers from broadcaster Fox Sports as to how vision of Henderson's penis went to air during television coverage of Saturday's match in Brisbane.

The AFL Players' Association is also investigating. 

Fox has issued an on-air apology after Henderson's penis was visible as he adjusted his shorts in the change rooms at half-time of the Gabba match.

A stressed Henderson endured a troubled weekend after the incident, with vision and still images being widely published on the internet.

"It's really disappointing for Ricky," Crows captain Nathan van Berlo told reporters on Monday.

"I'm certainly feeling for him because no doubt it has been a difficult weekend for him.

"At the moment we're letting the club deal with it through the appropriate avenues."

Port Adelaide captain Travis Boak said Hendersonhad not been shown sufficient respect over the incident. 

"As a club we try and make it the bestfor the viewers and the fans … we had cameras on our coaches in the coachingbox in the first week, we want to make it the best viewing experience. 

"But I think there's a fine line, weneed that respect for players and the incident that happened on the weekend waspretty unfortunate. 

"We want to help the AFL as much as wecan to give the viewers the best experience, but we do need that level ofrespect for players as well." 

The Crows have appealed to media not to re-publish footage or stills of Henderson which was shown during Fox Footy's coverage of the Gabba fixture.
