Fremantle have denied allegations their players are dressing up as members of the Ku Klux Klan.

The Dockers were embroiled in controversy when assistant coach Steve Malaxos revealed players were dressing up in Ku Klux Klan gear and raiding each others' houses as a prank.

But the Dockers released a photo on Tuesday afternoon that showed the offending costume was not that of the KKK.

Fremantle chief executive Steve Rosich named Clayton Hinkley and Andrew Foster as the two AFL players who dressed up in the costume, which consisted of a white mask, dark sunglasses, hat, scarf and a white sheet that covered the body from the shoulder down.

Rosich said Malaxos had simply got his description of the costume wrong.

"We regret the media speculation," Rosich said.

"The facts are that two of our younger players have played a private, non-discriminatory, harmless practical joke on four of their teammates.

"They have egged, and in one case glad-wrapped, their teammates' cars and then taken photos of themselves wearing a disguise which included a cut-off sheet, mask, hat, sunglasses and scarf.

"Once you've seen the photo I'm sure you will agree Stephen's description was not accurate."

Rosich said 20-year-old Hinkley and 23-year-old Foster would not be sanctioned for the prank, adding that none of their victims were Aboriginal.

"These two players have done nothing wrong," Rosich said.

"(But) we've spoken to Andrew and Clayton and they've agreed it would be inappropriate and they are not going to continue with this prank again."

The controversy started when Malaxos, during a radio interview, talked about several pranks being played at the club.

"There's a reasonable amount of pranks that are going on all the time," Malaxos told SportFM on Saturday morning.

"Sometimes they raid each others houses in like sort of Ku Klux Klan outfits and that as well, that's one of the other pranks."

Rosich said the controversy had not created a rift with the club's indigenous players.

The Ku Klux Klan is a white supremacist organisation which has a record of violence towards African Americans, Jews and other minorities.

The controversy is the last thing Fremantle needed after their 0-4 start to the season, which has heaped pressure on coach Mark Harvey.

Kangaroos pair Daniel Pratt and Adam Simpson were fined $5000 each over their chicken sex video scandal that made its way onto video sharing website YouTube earlier this month.

The AFL were furious with the contents of the video, which showed a condom-clad rubber chicken performing sex acts.
