West Coast Eagles premiership player Liam Ryan is again in trouble with police and the football club after an alleged domestic dispute in Kalbarri on the weekend.

Police issued the 22-year-old a 72-hour order to keep away from his girlfriend on Sunday morning after he allegedly knocked her to the ground, leaving her with a bloodied face, outside a Kalbarri motel.

It comes just days after the young father was convicted of drink-driving and lost his licence over a crash in Armadale in July.

It is not clear what sparked the altercation on the Kalbarri street about 4.30am but it is understood the couple were intoxicated and it came hours after Ryan had played in a football match in the Mid West holiday town.

Police were called to the scene by a relative but Ryan’s 20-year-old partner did not make an official complaint. “As a result of investigations, police later spoke to a 22-year-old man in Kalbarri who was subsequently issued with a 72-hour police order,” a spokesman said.

Police orders can be issued when there is not enough evidence to charge a person over a family violence matter but police believe they pose a safety risk.

It is understood Ryan denied pushing his girlfriend but the investigation is ongoing and a police domestic violence co-ordinator travelled from Geraldton to Kalbarri today to oversee inquiries.

The West Coast Eagles today confirmed they would also be questioning Ryan about the incident. The club said he was issued a move-on notice, which he obeyed.

“It is believed the incident involved a family dispute,” the club said in a statement.

“The club will be working with Liam to establish the details and the club will at all times keep the AFL fully informed of all relevant details.”

Ryan is also likely to face scrutiny from West Coast about why he played in a match between Kalbarri and Shark Bay on Saturday afternoon.

AFL clubs do not like their contracted players to put themselves at risk of injury and it is unlikely the Eagles would have known about or sanctioned his involvement in the game.

The small forward’s marking prowess was on display according to locals, although he was playing for Kalbarri — known as the Kakkas — which went down to the Sea Eagles 45 points to 17 points.

Ryan — who is from Geraldton — his partner and their daughter have been holidaying in the Mid West in the wake of the Eagles’ grand final win, visiting relatives and seeing the sights and sharing photographs of their trip on Instagram.

The Eagles said yesterday that they remained “cognisant of Liam’s health and wellbeing” and would work closely with him to ensure those considerations were prioritised.

The club did not mention his partner.

Ryan was banned from playing two matches in July after he crashed his car into a tree following an argument with the mother of his daughter.

It was revealed in court that he had a blood alcohol reading of 0.138g — almost three times the legal limit — when he crashed.

He was not in court when he was disqualified from driving for 18 months and fined $1700 for drink-driving but in a statement released by West Coast afterwards, the club said Ryan took full responsibility for his actions.
