Following the Club’s win over St Kilda on Saturday night, Fremantle players Michael Walters and Michael Frederick were subjected to vile and racist comments posted online by a member of the public.

CEO Simon Garlick confirmed the Club had reported the matter to the AFL.

“There is absolutely no place for online abuse and our Club will not tolerate it at any level,” Garlick said.

“Nobody in the community deserves to endure the hurtful and harmful comments experienced by our players over the weekend. 

“They are two much-loved members of our Freo family who have been vilified in a cowardly way and we are working through the matter with the priority being the wellbeing and support for our players.”
