The sources said the four players told Idun they had no problem with Idun going to the event dressed as Django.
Bedford and Rowston are Indigenous.
Brown was born in England and was a Gaelic football star in Ireland before being recruited by the Giants. His mother is English and father is Jamaican.
Aleer was born in Kenya to South Sudanese parents and came to Australia as a refugee when he was six.
The AFL Players Association confirmed it had made a submission to the AFL on behalf of all players involved in potential sanctions, including Idun. The players themselves have made no comment.
The AFLPA said it would not comment until the investigation had concluded and the AFL had handed down sanctions, which was expected to be as early as Thursday evening.
GWS was also contacted for comment but said it was waiting for the AFL.
GWS captain Greene did not participate in any offensive skit – coming to the private function as Olympic breakdancer Rachael “Raygun” Gunn – but is still facing a fine of $20,000 for his involvement at the event.
On Thursday morning Greene’s manager Paul Connors said Greene accepted that he “needed to be better”.

“Toby accepts that he’s the leader of the club and he needed to be better,” Connors told SEN on Thursday morning.
“But additionally, he had as much interest being on that Mad Monday as you would have done. He’d lost a game that he was up by 44 points.
“He was emotionally drained and not in a state of thinking about anything.
“So yes, Toby accepts that he could have done things better, but again, it’s others to debate whether $20,000 is too much.”
The Giants released a statement on Wednesday night and said some of the allegations were “distressing” and “contrary to the club’s values”.
