The West Coast Eagles are aware and extremely disappointed regarding an incident after last weekend’s RAC Derby where a spectator made crude and offensive remarks to Fremantle forward Michael Walters as he was leaving the field of play.

The club has reached out to support Michael Walters and are strong in our position that all players should not be exposed to abusive and anti-social behaviour. 

This type of behaviour has no place in our game and players and club staff are entitled to operate in a safe environment and should be treated with due respect. 

The incident is the subject of an investigation by the AFL and the Stadium and the club fully supports that enquiry.
