West Coast forward Tyler Brockman will participate in a wellbeing and education program after being stood down by the club following a recent traffic accident involving the Eagles recruit.
An incident in Geraldton, Western Australia this month was under investigation by police, with Brockman having since been charged with several offences.
No other person or vehicle was involved in the traffic accident.
The 21-year-old has apologised for his actions, noting he needs to work on himself before being able to return to the field.
“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 via a club statement.
“I look forward to working on the things I need to so I can return to playing football.”
Brockman, who will be eligible to play in the WAFL this weekend, will not be available for selection at AFL level until after the club's Round 14 bye.
Eagles football boss Gavin Bell said Brockman will need to prove himself to the club in a bid to continue his career in the top flight.
“Tyler has taken some steps forward since that incident and the support and education programs will be ongoing,” Bell said.
“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 has played six games for West Coast this year since crossing from Hawthorn at the cessation of the 2023 season.
