Fremantle Dockers defender Nathan Wilson has become the latest Indigenous AFL footballer to receive racist abuse on social media.

On Monday evening the 30-year-old Noongar man shared vile messages sent from a faceless Instagram user, which included racial, homophobic and bigoted taunts, the first from April 2.

"U little gws rejected aye u purple f*****s will never win a premiership u f*****g inbreed noongar f****t u little purple c**t," the message on April 2 read.

Wilson played six seasons with GWS before crossing to the Dockers ahead of the 2018 season.

He has played in all four games in 2023.

The account, named Richmond2023, sent a second wave of messages around the same time as Fremantle's round four loss to Adelaide.

"Where was that spark for last week f****t," the user sent.

"Lol u are s**tmantle."

Wilson, who posted the messages to his own Instagram Story, labelled the attacks "embarrassing" and called for an end to social media abuse.

"What do you have to do to stop people like this," Wilson wrote.

"Embarrassing."

Fremantle teammate and Walmatjarri-Noongar man Liam Henry later reshared the post to his own Story with a short message of support for Wilson.

The incident is just the latest example of fan-to-player vilification directed towards Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander AFL footballers, and came within hours of a similar incident involving Adelaide Crows forward Izak Rankine.

In round two, Jamarra Ugle Hagan received abuse from a fan in the stands at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium.

In the days following AFL general manager of inclusion and social policy Tanya Hosch said Ugle-Hagan also received abusive social media messages.

"When it's online, the majority of the time these things are done in a cowardly manner through anonymous accounts or accounts that have been set up simply to give people anonymity while they churn out all of this racist, sexist or homophobic abuse," Hosch told ABC Radio Melbourne on March 27.

She said while the league has strong relationships with the eSafety commissioner and social media companies, those conducting the attacks can be difficult to track down.
