The Collingwood Football Club met today with a member who used offensive and racially loaded language during last Friday night’s match against the Sydney Swans at the MCG.

As a result of the meeting, a confidential understanding was reached which will see the man participate in education and counselling related to racial vilification. An apology to Sydney players Adam Goodes and Lewis Jetta has also been written.

For reasons of privacy, Collingwood will be making no further comment on the matter.
