Essendon has cancelled the membership of a supporter who racially vilified Sydney star Adam Goodes during last Friday's match at Docklands.

The AFL club announced on Tuesday that it had terminated the fan's membership after an "extensive investigation".

The announcement came as another club, the Western Bulldogs, revealed that they were looking for a Bulldogs fan who was alleged to have racially abused Melbourne's Neville Jetta.

In a statement, Essendon chief operating officer Xavier Campbell said the club would not tolerate racial vilification in any form.

"Racial vilification is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated," Campbell said.

"As a club, we do not accept appalling behaviour of this nature - no matter your race, religion or gender, football is a game of inclusion."

"It is extremely disappointing incidents of this nature are still occurring."

Essendon supporters reported the incident to Docklands management during the game on Friday night, which the Swans won by 50 points.

The reports were passed onto police, who removed the fan from the stadium.

"If you're going to behave in this manner we don't want you attending our games," Campbell said.

"The member in question has expressed his deep remorse for the incident and accepted full responsibility for his actions."

This is the second incident involving Goodes at an AFL match.

In May 2013, Goodes was abused by a young Collingwood fan in Sydney's game against the Magpies at the MCG.

Collingwood president Eddie McGuire apologised to Goodes on behalf of the 13-year-old female fan who called Goodes an ape.

However days later McGuire sparked controversy when he suggested on radio that Goodes should be flown down to Melbourne promote the King Kong musical.

He later apologised, describing it as a slip of the tongue.

Bulldogs president apologises on behalf of club to Demons' Jetta

Bulldogs president Peter Gordon released a statement on Tuesday saying that the club had been told last week that a person wearing a Bulldogs jumper had vilified Melbourne's Neville Jetta at the game between the clubs at the MCG on May 12.

Gordon said that although the efforts to identify the perpetrator following the game had so far been without success, the club was satisfied that the abuse had occurred and had come from a Bulldogs supporter.

"As a club, we apologise unreservedly to Neville Jetta and his family who were the subject of this abuse," Gordon said.

"We are ashamed of the actions of this person who by his actions has damaged the fabric and the reputation of our club.

"We have no tolerance for ignorant racial abuse and we will continue to make efforts to identify this person and to deal with him under our supporters' code of conduct."

Gordon said that the club would not do what the person involved had done, to "disappear into anonymity".

"It happened. One of our own supporters did it. We are all diminished as a consequence. But we will not let it pass.

"Even though we need every supporter we can get... we don't need supporters who behave like this."

In a statement released by Melbourne, Jetta thanked the Bulldogs for the way they had handled the situation but condemned the remarks made by the supporter.

"I am disappointed for my family and friends to be subjected to these types of remarks and it's completely unacceptable that these sorts of comments still exist in our society today," he said.

"I was upset that my family and friends were subjected to this type of behaviour and that it still exists within the AFL, as they (the AFL) have done a terrific job in educating society that racial vilification is unacceptable.

"This is an opportunity to educate society and just because I didn't hear the remark first hand, this doesn't mean that it is any less offensive or hurtful.

"I want to use this incident to continually educate society that comments of this nature are highly offensive and the hurt it can have on others."
