St Kilda Football Club has been made aware of allegations regarding racist comments made by a St Kilda fan toward Western Bulldogs player, Jamarra Ugle-Hagan during last night’s round 2 match at Marvel Stadium. 

The club takes these matters incredibly seriously and condemns vilification of any kind. 

To be repeatedly addressing these repugnant instances of racism is a blight on our game and society. We will continue to stamp out and call out this unacceptable behaviour by having these important conversations, as well as make ongoing education available for the wider community.

As a club, we are committed to building greater awareness of the harm caused through comments such as these. 

Both clubs are working with AFL Integrity to investigate the matter further and identify those concerned. Importantly, we will work closely with the Western Bulldogs and the AFL to ensure those impacted are supported.

We will not stand for this.
