“I want to make it very clear that this is absolutely untrue, hasn’t been even an inkling of truth to any part of what people are saying about me or my family,” Rozee said on SEN’s Fireball.

“It’s pretty disappointing to know that some people can stoop that low and have that sort of character.

“Anything to do with family shouldn’t even be considered when people think these things are funny cause it does impact their lives, especially a lot more than even mine because I’m obviously in the spotlight a bit more than our wives and kids

“But for anyone that’s still wondering or 100 per cent, my wife and I are amazing, we’ve never been better.

“I’ve got great relationships with everyone at the football club.

“This is a completely made up rumour and I just want to put a full stop on it because it got out of hand there for a bit.”

Rozee said the AFL Integrity Unit are looking into the situation as the Power skipper highlighted the continued need for keyboard warriors to be held accountable.

“I’d love to know who made it up,” he said.

“It’s really tough these days unfortunately with people able to make fake accounts and say pretty much whatever they want behind the keyboard so I’ll wait and see.

“The main thing is that my family and that are ok and we can move past it.”
