Perhaps one of those rare moments where human virtue is actually prevailing. All 18 clubs have AFLW teams now. It would be an enormous slap in the face to them if a team were to pick him up. I'm not saying it'd be any less morally dubious if a team that picked him up hypothetically didn't have an AFLW team, but with the establishment of the AFLW arm for each club, women have been woven into club fabrics. Beyond canteen ladies, fan clubs, and cake makers.Surprised that at this stage he hasn’t found a club. At least not officially.
I couldn't give a **** if he goes somewhere else and succeeds. My understanding is that we gave him multiple chances to change his behaviour and at a certain point you have to say sorry, no more chances. That's as close to traditional values and personal responsibility as you can get, but the angry old man contingent wants to twist it into being woke or something? I'm glad the club didn't um and ah about it because he's so talented and we're scared of missing out on a good footballer, you can't let players push you around. Same reason I'm glad we offloaded JHF while we could still get a high price for him.Perhaps one of those rare moments where human virtue is actually prevailing. All 18 clubs have AFLW teams now.

I'm too cynical to say that TT won't get picked up, but he's as close to a poisoned chalice as you're ever going to get in someone with that level of talent (a level which I think is that of a potential top 5 player in the league, if not top 2), especially with the outcry that's already occurred from fans of clubs who've merely hinted at interest in him

Even if you put the morality and legality of his actions aside, he repeatedly broke the trust of everyone at the club over a period of multiple years all while umming and ahhing about going to a different club. Matthew Lloyd once talked about 'drainers', players that take up 10 times as much of the coaches and admins time than anyone else (time that could be far better used!), that drag down the morale of the group, that can cause splinters in the group, and just in general drain the club. TT is as talented as anyone, but he was a drainer, a recidivist harasser of women, and even still we gave him chance after chance after chance (even while half the football public was saying that any other club would have dropped him by then) and each time he said one thing to our face then did the opposite. Then he lost his job, and while doing the mandatory courses to get back his multimillion dollar job he was still a complete deranged prick.
FFS it wasn't like there was a single isolated incident that was following him around, it was a massive pattern of behaviour despite everyone's attempts at intervention!
He had to go. It's insane this is needing to be re-litigated.
Brilliant post.
JHF was also a classic drainer.
Surprised that at this stage he hasn’t found a club. At least not officially.

The AFL has said he’s not allowed to play this year after a couple of clubs were sniffing around.
I knew he wouldn’t get an AFl contract, but I’m surprised he hasn’t been announced by a state league side. But as mentioned above even some of those clubs wouldn’t be keen with their women’s programs and sponsorship arrangements.
iam surprised your surprised!Surprised that at this stage he hasn’t found a club. At least not officially.
Step one - Non affiliated VFL.I think the window is almost closed.
Let's say he sorts out his alleged character values and becomes a non-factor on that front. His PR has been cleaned up and a new club takes him on unencumbered.
You still have him at best at best reentering the system at 26yo with no full AFL preseason for at least 2 years and no full AFL in-season conditioning for almost 3 years.
Throw in his lifestyle leanings towards socials over sprints and remember this guy ain't exactly Shane Crawford or Brent Harvey in his own time and you have a player who'll probably need 12 dedicated months in the system just to get up to par.
It's not impossible and he can get away with lower end of spectrum AFL conditioning because of his high talent, but odds are against it imo.
Hope we get adequately compensated.All on track for Geelong to pick him up in 2026 citing the redemption story.
3rd round pick we have to trade should do it.Hope we get adequately compensated.
laughs in depression.
Three years out, back in as a 26 y/o.Hope we get adequately compensated.
laughs in depression.
And Geelong get our 2027 first, despite not being involved in the deal3rd round pick we have to trade should do it.
