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 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 Pelchen confirmed on 3AW yesterday.

But he said his players had denied such claims.
