North Melbourne says six of its players were members of the controversial Facebook group The Brocial Network, which shared photos of women online without their knowledge.

The Kangaroos say players Jack Ziebell and Robbie Tarrant were part of The Brocial Network, which has reportedly been disbanded, and added four other players to the group without their consent.

The club says none of the players posted any photos or comments.

In a statement the club said it accepted that Ziebell and Tarrant "were not fully aware of the group's offensive nature or purpose" when they added the other players.

It says all six players removed themselves from the group.

North Melbourne says it finds the group inappropriate and offensive.
