Eagles coach Adam Simpson says the club is committed to ensuring Liam Ryan is “mentally OK” after the promising forward crashed his car into a tree early this morning.

Ryan was taken to Armadale Hospital after the crash and Simpson later told 7 News Perth he was yet to speak to the draftee but the club would support the livewire goalsneak.

“It’s been a big transition for Liam with playing AFL,” Simpson said.

“He recently had the birth of a baby daughter so just dealing with the AFL system and all those things is something that we are working through.”

The Eagles released a statement earlier today confirming the first-year player had been involved in a “police incident” but said they had little information to go on.

The circumstances surrounding the incident are being investigated.

West Coast captain Shannon Hurn appeared at a press conference this afternoon and said he didn’t know much about the situation but believed Ryan to be physically unharmed.

He did however confirm that all players had club commitments early this morning, as early as 9am for those in the recovery group.
