Port Adelaide Football Club is aware of -- and condemns in the strongest possible way -- racist abuse directed at Jase Burgoyne following last night's game against West Coast and abuse directed at a fellow First Nations player within the AFL competition.

Such abuse is reprehensible and will not, and should not, be tolerated.

The club has advised the AFL integrity department and we look forward to working closely with the AFL to identify those responsible and sanction appropriately.

We also encourage people who witness or experience online abuse to report and highlight it to the social media platforms on which it appears.

Port Adelaide also calls for Governments to demand accountability from social media organisations. Platforms need to take accountability and action against these abusers.

Port Adelaide stands united with Jase and all First Nations players across the competition who have been subjected to racist abuse this weekend.

As a club with deep community roots and strong connections to diverse communities, we will continue to use our platform to call out racism wherever it occurs.

Racism and hate have no place online, at our venues, or in our community.
