If he is cleared of anything substantial in his court case, then the AFL will still have the final call on whether he can re-enter the league.This isn’t 100% accurate.
I suspect whatever statement the club puts out will put some distance between us and Thomas. But I don’t believe it will shut the door on him.
I reckon it’s going to be a wait and see for his November court case and if he is cleared or no substantial charges. There might be a magical list spot still available…
Club has always been aware of who Gubby or SOS meets. He hasn’t done anything wrong.
If Andrew Krakouer can get a few years for grievous bodily harm & assault and still make it back…. Etc etc.
We have been into him since last year.If he is cleared of anything substantial in his court case, then the AFL will still have the final call on whether he can re-enter the league.
However, if he is able to re-enter the league, could the club potentially be aiming to allow him to train over the preseason and then make a decision? I believe his court case concludes around day two of the national draft.
To be honest, no one truly knows hat the club has been discussing regarding TT and whether this is a storm in a tea cup. I know it is going to be an incredibly hard sell to any fan base though.
In the perfect world, you would get him to play at Sandy next year with the guarantee of a contract in the mid-season draft if he proves he has changed his ways.
Jack Lukousias anyone?
Probably will cost too much but would be a good get for taking on the salary for a 2nd.
Massive tease. On pure talent, he should be one of the best key-position players in the league, but isn't.He really picks and chooses when he applies effort though, doesn't he?
im going with terry thomas,he was awesomely funnyYou have to take one
Shiel
Terry Thomas
Jake Stringer
Butts
Lobb
Oliver
Who you taking?
Had a quick look at the charges he's facing & there doesn't seem to be any physical violence related. Not a legal expert but I'd be surprised if he gets anything more than community service & good behaviour bond.We have been into him since last year.
I posted as such.
No idea what the afl will do and my opinion is that matters should play out before we do anything. But he would effectively be a free agent is my understanding. So could be a train on over summer.
Put him in Sandy for next year and pick him as our Sandy rookie for '26We have been into him since last year.

On the whole this would be the best pathway in every regard. If he doesn't want to pay his dues and appreciate the opportunity, then FO.Put him in Sandy for next year and pick him as our Sandy rookie for '26

The issue with telling him go to Sandy for a year is that he would be available to any club at any point including nominating for the MSD.Delisted player, as he was let go by North due to the charges (and everything they did not affecting him positively to their standards), so if the AFL do let him back in, it's as a delisted agent in all probability.
he wpuld only go if he nominated. guarunteed if he went to sandy, saints would have an agreement with him not to nominateThe issue with telling him go to Sandy for a year is that he would be available to any club at any point including nominating for the MSD.
The better outcome would be as a pre season train on - who we can contract when the games begin. Like Caminiti
Maybe ask the woman involved is she is happy with the outcome...Had a quick look at the charges he's facing & there doesn't seem to be any physical violence related. Not a legal expert but I'd be surprised if he gets anything more than community service & good behaviour bond.
Guaranteed that the league will make a little song & dance for PR purposes & then say clubs are free to consider recruiting him. From memory it's jail terms of longer than 6 months that result in a permanent ban.
Let's not forget that under the original ban that the AFL threw his way (18 matches), he'd be back playing by now.

When are victims ever considered after a court decision?Maybe ask the woman involved is she is happy with the outcome...
Three separate women have accused him of domestic violence. I don't give a shit if they ended up in court or not - this bloke is a lowlife and will set our club backwards. We need to stop looking for these idiotic sugar hits in recruitment with normal free agents, let alone ones that bring our entire club into disrepute, trash our reputation for sponsors and alienate a sizeable part of both the general public and our own membership. Our reputation as a club has taken a massive hit this week just from meeting with this guy. My own respect for the club has been damaged.Had a quick look at the charges he's facing & there doesn't seem to be any physical violence related.

Even beyond the MANY allegations by multiple women that have ended up in charges and otherwise - we are on track for a bottom five finish this year. Can we just focus on drafting a decent engine room for the future? We tried to get JDG a couple years ago (starting to send a pretty clear message about the moral and ethical rot at our club with this pattern) on a million dollars a year - do you think we doubling our ladder position and playing finals with him kicking around?
No, but you’d better be quick if you want to beat me to ClarryToTarryn.Thinking of making a change.
Has CallumToTarryn been taken by anyone yet???
Love it. If only Gears could have held on.No, but you’d better be quick if you want to beat me to ClarryToTarryn.
My son ended a relationship with a young woman early this year and she has now vandalized his car on 4 separate occasions - should we be seeking to have her banned from the retail industry?
