......Pencil in our current skipper as a shoe-in when the time comes.

And his predecessor

The character test is in there simply for players like Cousins et al.
Do you honestly believe that as we go forward decision makers are going to retreat from this position?
The AFL have positioned themselves as a social conscience leader. That something they pride themselves in and they are not going to risk the out cry that promoting a scum bag like Cousins will do to sponsorship.

Dude, no matter what is said, you have a hatred view, i dont believe cousins is a scum bag... he made mistakes, had and probably still has issues.

Is danni laidley a scum bag. I certainly dont think she is

“was not able to meaningfully change his behaviour”.
The concession, in an email to Eagles CEO Don Pyke’s and including all other AFL club CEOs, came despite the club desperately trying to rehabilitate him.

The email was sent following Pyke’s push for a united stance condemning violence against women.

Watt shared details of how Thomas had completed four behaviour modification programs before his eventual sacking from the club in February.

The email, which was sent earlier this month, showed the extent to which the Kangaroos tried to elicit a change in behaviour from Thomas and revealed their ongoing frustrations.

Watt told the club chief executives in the email: “(Kangaroos president) Sonja Hood and I have been talking a lot about this, especially in light of the recent challenges we faced with Tarryn Thomas

“We were struck by just how hard it was to find programs to support behaviour change. And this was for someone with considerable resources and support around them.

“We eventually found a combination of programs for Tarryn.

“Even though Tarryn ended up completing four different programs which included an extensive combination of education, therapy and participation-style programs, we were not able to meaningfully change his behaviour.”


Thomas, 24, still has ambitions to return to AFL football next season, despite his sacking from the Kangaroos.

He was banned by the AFL in February for 18 games for conduct unbecoming, following allegations that he engaged in multiple acts of misconduct, including threatening a woman over messaging applications.

He is not able to play football at any level until July 22, and must convince the AFL he has successfully completed a behavioural change program to have any chance of returning to the AFL system.


The Kangaroos ran out of patience with Thomas and sacked him after the AFL ban, with Watt saying at the time: “We’ve now arrived at a point where the individual’s needs don’t match those of the club.”

The club suspended Thomas in early 2023 after police charged him with threatening to distribute an intimate image.

The charge was later dropped. He was instead charged with using a carrier service to harass, which was also dropped when he agreed to make a $1000 donation to a court fund.

You are going to be sorely disappointed.

If you expect socio- political trends to be eternal then you'll be the disappointed one. It's a dumb concept.

 

[JuniorB]

Carey and Ablett Sr are both in the Hall of Fame.

My mistake.
They could well be stripped of their status, especially after the AFL's stance last weekend.
It's also why Tarryn Thomas will never play at AFL level again.
No club will touch him with a barge pole after that, and rightfully so.

 

[JuniorB]

And his predecessor

That goes without saying.
I was talking about Darcy's preeminence in his public utterances.

So sad

Damn that's really sad. I was talking about him the other day wondering where he was.

 

[Jafo]

Think would be a nice additional at Collingwood.

Think further south.... New Tassie team CEO for sure.

Yeah read that too. Still would’ve been a good edition to our club. Luke Ball too for the longest time now.

Probably no room for him rn. But let’s say Wrighty doesn’t come back and are we happy with Pinchy Pinchy (Kelly)?

 

[Jafo]

It’s official

as chief of footy - in their first season - both virgins in their roles

Tassie appoint Gale as ceo 4 years before first game.

The Devils will be very strong

 

[localfootylegend23]

The bloke was a number 1 pick and has become a seagull.

Mcgrath would walk into our side. very handy player

That's terrible news.

 

[leon123]

My prediction, lets be honest who really cares about my prediction, even my dogs couldnt care.

Richmond footy club, be a bottom 6 club for at least the next ten years

I’d take an era of three Pies flags like Tigers to be irrelevant for the next ten years

My kids are of a similar age. His poor parents must be heartbroken. RIP young man.

Cup kisser

 

[manicpie]

R.I. P Cam McCarthy , I can only imagine what his family is going through. No one should have to pass away at such a young age
