WEST Coast will prioritize Tyler Brockman’s health and well-being after the forward was involved in a car accident that is under investigation by police.
Tyler Brockman Involved in an Accident:
Brockman was involved in a car accident in Geraldton, 420 kilometers north of Perth, early Saturday morning. The 21-year-old went to a family funeral on Friday afternoon. According to West Coast, no other vehicles were engaged, and no one was harmed. “WA Police are investigating this case, and Tyler is fully cooperating,” West Coast said in a statement. “Tyler’s circumstances are complex, and the club will prioritize his health and well-being over any return to football.” “The club has alerted the AFL regarding this incident, and we anticipate the results of the police inquiry before making any further response.”
Brockman spent 26 games with Hawthorn before being traded to West Coast at the end of last season. The tiny forward went goalless in his first six games for the Eagles before being benched for last week’s six-point loss against Essendon. West Coast is dealing with several injury issues before Sunday’s showdown with Collingwood at Marvel Stadium. In-form attacker Jake Waterman will miss the encounter due to a concussion, while gun midfielder Elliot Yeo is also expected to lose time after injuring his groin.
On Monday night, coach Adam Simpson stated that they are awaiting scans on Yeo, but that the star’s osteitis pubis has not recurred. “It’s more of a pulled muscle, so we’re hoping it’s just a one-to-two-week injury,” Simpson told Fox Footy. Noah Long, a second-year forward, is also awaiting scan results after his knee twisted awkwardly during a tackle this weekend. Long may have damaged his anterior cruciate ligament. “We hope for the best, but fear the worst,” Simpson stated.
