Young Waalitj Marawar forward Tyler Brockman will be participating in a wellbeing and education program within the club as he strives to resume his career.
Brockman was stood down after a traffic incident in Geraldton earlier this month, with several charges announced by WA Police on the weekend.
Since that incident, which occurred after a family funeral, Brockman has gradually re-integrated back into the football program and he will be available to resume with the WAFL Eagles against Claremont on Saturday.
“Tyler has taken some steps forward since that incident and the support and education programs will be ongoing,” said General Manager of Football Gavin Bell.
“While he will be available to play in the WAFL this weekend he will not be considered for AFL selection until after the bye.
“As we have said from the outset, this is a complex matter and we must work with Tyler and use all resources at our disposal to help him work through these matters to help him make better decisions off-field. In turn that will help him reach his full potential on-field.
“The charges he faces are serious and we are disappointed that he has placed himself in this situation. We cannot comment on those charges as they are subject to a legal process and a court hearing.”
Brockman said he accepted responsibility for his actions and is committed to making the necessary adjustments.
“I would like to apologise for my actions. I accept I have to make some changes to meet AFL standards on and off the field,” Brockman said.
“I look forward to working on the things I need to so I can return to playing football.”
