Fremantle forward/midfielder Michael Walters has spoken out in support of the worldwide movement that is condemning racism.

The All Australian, who is set to go down as one of the greatest players to pull on a jumper at a club that has a proud Indigenous history, said that solving the problem of systemic racism in Australia was not incumbent on Indigenous Australians.

“I just want to say that we’re here, we’ve been here. We’re not going anywhere anytime soon,” Walters said on SEN.

“To all of those that are sceptics about it, get used to it as we’re not going anywhere.

“It’s not on us to change, it’s on your to change. That’s what I wanted to say.”

On Thursday, club legend Matthew Pavlich posted a statement on social media on behalf of Fremantle's past players.

“Together with the Black Lives Matter movement around the world and here in WA, we as past players of the Fremantle Dockers acknowledge that 106 First Nations people have died in custody in WA since 1991,” the statement said.

“We are proud to have the most games played by First Nations players of any club in the AFL’s history.

“But acknowledge that First Nations people in WA experience the highest rate of incarceration around the world.

“We stand with our First Nations players and staff, past and present, male and female. And acknowledge that Black Lives Matter and condemn institutional violence.”

Walters said Fremantle were in talks with Brisbane to organise a joint-statement at Saturday’s clash at the Gabba.

“Yes, the plan is for us and Brisbane (to make a statement),” Walters said.

“We’ve been in contact with them and we’re trying to do something for the Black Lives Matter situation.”
