West Coast Eagles player Tyler Brockman heading to trial after entering plea in Geraldton street fight case

West Coast Eagles player Tyler Brockman is headed for trial after pleading not guilty to grievous bodily harm over an alleged street fight in Geraldton in December last year. Tyler James Rawiri Brockman, 23, appeared via video link in Geraldton Magistrates Court alongside his lawyer Mike Tudori on Thursday. Mr Brockman entered a plea of not guilty to one count of grievous bodily harm. The well-known AFL player was charged with GBH over the alleged street fight in Geraldton on December 28, 2025. The alleged fight took place in the suburb of Glenfield where police say Mr Brockman struck a male teenager about 3.50am, leaving him with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. It has been alleged the teenager sustained a broken jaw. Mr Brockman has been supported by his club throughout the legal process to date. West Coast issued a statement in January, confirming the club was aware of the charge and had gathered information to provide support. The alleged incident could put Mr Brockman’s career at risk. He has not played an AFL game this year due to persistent injuries. Hawthorn selected Mr Brockman as pick No. 46 in the 2020 draft, before he was traded to West Coast at the end of the 2023 season. He has played a total of 56 AFL matches. Mr Brockman’s case has been committed to the District Court for trial. He will next appear in court for a trial listing hearing on November 11. The West Coast Eagles declined to comment about the latest development of Mr Brockman’s not guilty plea.
