WEST Coast has suffered an off-field blow, with young forward Murray Newman charged with grievous bodily harm.
The club confirmed the 18-year-old had been charged following an incident last week and will face court.
Newman was allegedly involved in a fight in Northbridge where a man was punched in the face and required surgery.
The club said the AFL had been made aware of the charge.
"The club is bitterly disappointed that Murray put himself in that position and will await the outcome of the legal process before making any further comment," the club said in a statement this afternoon.
Newman played four games in his debut season for the Eagles, booting three goals and averaging almost nine touches per outing.
Under WA law, GBH is "any bodily injury of such a nature as to endanger, or be likely to endanger life, or cause or be likely to cause permanent injury to health".
It carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail.
