Retiring before he gets delisted.

Lot of dough to walk away from.

Could North be making him an offer behind the scenes “How about we pay you out to retire this year?”

I’d imagine clubs would consider doing that for players who are considered toxic to their culture and too hard to reform?

I’d imagine that clubs would be unlikely to want to advertise that that’s what they’re doing.

Strange that Kangaroos didn't do that earlier with Tarryn Thomas - he makes Stephenson look like an angel?

(1) Thomas was younger, so they might reasonably believe there is a chance to reform, and that he has a longer football future to invest in.

(2) Maybe they learnt from Thomas and are doing things differently?

(3) We really have no idea what players get up to (Thomas’ stuff was in the public domain but I’d imagine that’s more the exception than the rule)

(4) Maybe North tried to but couldn’t get Thomas to agree to it? How would we know?

Given the nature of Thomas' transgressions, they needed to be seen to be doing the right thing.

There's only 12 months age difference between Thomas & Stephenson.

And completely different set of circumstances I would have thought, considering the vile & legal nature of Thomas' issues. North obviously thought they could assist in reforming Thomas when they insisted he do multiple behavioural change programs. Yet he still continued with his behaviour.

Perhaps Stepho's just finally realised he's lost interest in footy. That's how he's looked for a few years now anyway.

The week before the gambling debacle was exposed he was electric against St Kilda. Just about marking everything inside F50. Kicking barrels from 60. Incredible performance. I doubt he’s played anywhere near the level since. It ruined him mentally

I'm sure the Carlton Football Club & Harry are thrilled to be having this scenario played out in the media by Carlton supporting journo's on the eve of finals.

Not many top 10 draft picks play less career games than their draft selection number. Trotter is one of them.

Despite the out of club issues, Thomas might not have been an issue when at the club. Stepho's half-arsedness probably is.

Here is our key forward lol

I think many of Thomas' team mates had issues with his off field stuff.

I certainly hope they did.

Yuk & yuk.

Must be one of the worst pick 2 in quite a while

Pity McKay’s manager has shut it down. I was hoping it would simmer along nicely for a couple of weeks, and be the source of constant media speculation.

The manager is a spoil sport.

It will take a week or 2 before the assurances register in Harry's brain..so it may still be affecting him by the EF

Ok, so I don't like the man (2002, 2003, Carlton coach), but credit where credit's due - well done Vossy!

And Dee's players are reportedly upset he went to Noosa? FMD. What a pitiful club they are.

He needs to leave. It’s a horrible club. He’s too good for them
