THE AFL strongly condemns the abhorrent racist remarks directed at St Kilda’s Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera and Port Adelaide’s Jase Burgoyne via social media over the weekend.

The AFL Integrity Unit has been contacted by the St Kilda and Port Adelaide Football Clubs regarding both incidents.

The Integrity Unit is working with both clubs to provide support for those impacted and investigate both matters to work towards identifying the individuals involved.

The AFL wishes to again to make it clear that there is absolutely no place for racism in our game and fans who are found to be responsible are not welcome at the football.

"To hide behind a fake account is cowardly and I want the people that have created these online accounts and racially abused our players to know that our game does not want you. Real fans don’t racially abuse players." AFL CEO Andrew Dillon said.

"We have been clear that there is absolutely no place for this behaviour in our sport and in society. Racism is never acceptable and these incidents demonstrate there is so much more work to be done.

"Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera and Jase Burgoyne are talented footballers and remarkable young men. We acknowledge their courage to call out the hurtful and completely unacceptable remarks and offer our support to both players, their families and our broader Indigenous playing group."

The AFL has an agreement with the eSafety Commissioner to address racism when it occurs as part of our commitment to make the game safe and inclusive for everyone to thrive.

The AFL calls on fans and the football community to report any acts of vilification via the integrity portal.
