Two St Kilda footballers have been accused of telling a young woman they would not be in a photograph with her because they were "saving ourselves for the hot chicks".
A 21-year-old woman said the players made the comment to her when she asked to have a photograph with them at Melbourne Airport before the team flew to Brisbane last Friday.
She then told her mother that she overheard one of the players say: "there should be a no fat chicks section in our contracts".
The woman's furious mother called St Kilda Football Club, the club's head of football Chris Pelchan confirmed to Radio 3AW.

He said the club would be making a donation to the Butterfly Foundation, which supports Australians with eating disorders and body image problems, following a request by the young woman.
Mr Pelchan told Radio 3AW the woman had been trying to take some photographs for a friend, who was a Saints fan, and the club had sent her a St Kilda guernsey to make up for the missed shots.
He said when confronted by himself and their coach, none of the St Kilda footballers had admitted making or hearing the insulting remarks.
But Mr Pelchan said the club was taking the matter seriously and a critical letter from the woman's mother would be read out during training.
