The West Coast Eagles are investigating a street fight in Geraldton at the weekend which allegedly involved one of their players, Tyler Brockman.
An altercation between three men, including a shirtless Brockman, was filmed on a mobile phone, with one of the men reportedly suffering a broken jaw in the fight.

In a statement, West Coast said it was aware of the incident, which occurred on Saturday night.
“The club is providing support to Tyler while working to gather all relevant information about the incident and is unable to make any further comment at this time,” it said.
No report of the incident was made to WA Police.
In August last year, Brockman was fined $1400 after pleading guilty to careless driving and failing to report a crash to police after he crashed his Ford Ranger into a light pole in Geraldton in May 2024 before fleeing the scene.
The forward had been in the regional town to attend a family funeral.
The Magistrate described the crash as having occurred in “deeply suspicious circumstances”.
In the wake of the incident, Brockman released a statement saying he would have to make some changes to meet AFL standards on and off the field. He also took part in a club-sanctioned wellbeing education program.
The 23-year-old has played in 56 AFL matches, 30 for West Coast and 26 for Hawthorn.
He is contracted for one more season with the Eagles.
