Thomas, 22, had only just returned to training after taking a month-long break from the club following allegations from a woman that Thomas wanted to “beat” her.

It was also alleged Thomas told a woman “your time is coming”.

The fresh information on Wednesday threatens to embarrass the Kangaroos for welcoming Thomas back to the club last month despite the cloud which has hung over his career.

The club is investigating the timing of the latest allegations and whether they are linked to another incident.

The Roos did not reveal specific information about the latest allegations, but confirmed on Wednesday the club was looking into a matter involving the midfielder.


“North Melbourne is aware of media reports regarding Tarryn Thomas,” the club said in a statement.

“Thomas has been participating in a respect and responsibility education program that deals with accountability, remorse and behaviour change following allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards women.

“As has been communicated previously, North Melbourne and Thomas will co-operate fully in relation to any further allegation or investigation.

“Thomas will not attend training on Thursday while the club gathers more information.”

Thomas is due to front court on a single charge of threatening to distribute an intimate image of a woman.

Assuming all things are equal and one team is as likely to give away a free kick as the other, the chances of one team receiving 21 or more free kicks from a sample size of 25 is about 0.09%.

So slightly worse than a 1 in a thousand chance. There are a touch over 200 games every AFL season. On that basis we ought to see a total end of game count that lopsided on average once every 5 years or so across the whole league.

Nope, not rigged at all this show.

Whatever you might say about the actual free kick count, you can't tell me that a game where that Rioli mark was paid is well umpired.

That was a howler.

And then you have the various inconsistencies - that Daniher push in the back that was paid was a joke, especially given that a Marshall one two minutes later wasn't paid.

The umpiring was s**t.

Not to mention the Lachie Jones goal

They crossed to Eddie in Dubai. He's at some big sports conference over there. Outside of his usual guff of continually pushing for a night Grand Final, he's basically there in his role as Consigliere for the Victorian Government.

Make no mistake, Eddie McGuire is, and has always been, the greatest advocate for Vic Bias. In real terms, for everybody outside of Victoria, for everybody that pines for a league that is fair, unprejudiced, partisan, equitable and neutral, Eddie McGuire is the Devil.

McGuire has, for 20 years, orchestrated and facilitated deal after deal that has seen the AFL and the Victorian Government get closer and closer. He has been front and centre in "The Sporting Capital" becoming government policy. Everything he talks about is to do with Melbourne (the City) the MCG, sporting capital, sporting precincts, the economics, what it means for Victorians, how Victoria can squeeze a buck out it. **** him.

Earlier people were talking about Collingwood being one of our main rival. They aren't. We wouldn't rank in their top 10. It's a pointless one way rivalry. McGuire on the other hand, he is actively trying to sabotage our club in many different ways. He is the true enemy.

"As Moss sought comment from Clarkson, the four-time premiership coach told the reporter “your time will come”, according to SEN. Moss informed Channel 9 superiors of the incident."

On the same page as his coach at least :drunk:

And Cos Cardone is our man on the inside of this juggernaut - what an asset! (David Koch, probably)

The double standards that he holds to us in regards to the Prison Bar guernsey has this on show in spades.

On one hand he's having a cry for the Collingwood supporters who bought a Collingwood guernsey and have never let it go and stuck firm with it and how would they feel about this (Port wearing PBs in a Showdown), yada, yada, yada... then throws out the line "Just make them teal. It's a fair compromise."

Collingwood heritage = black and white is in our dna
Port heritage = just make it blue mate.

I like how he brings up the blue & white hoop guernsey like it has as much relevance as wearing black & white for 95 years before we entered the AFL.

Pretty much revealed his full ignorance there, Eddie saying he doesnt care if it's not a Collingwood issue, what about North or Geelong?

The AFL adminstration is about weakening interstate clubs with no ties back to Victoria.

But Sydney get to wear the red 'V' and Brisbane get to deck out Fitzroy monograms right.

Its ironic that Eddie says we ran away from the prison bars in 1997 but that the AFL has also backed away from making it a national competition and making it all about VFL Plus.

And conveniently forgets that we actually did wear the hoops in the afl for heritage round, along with the magenta one.

No one claimed we were taking another club’s heritage then.

Barrett said this on Footy Classified last night:

Speaking on Channel 9’s Footy Classified, AFL journalist Damian Barrett revealed all parties involved remain in the dark over the specifics surrounding the latest allegations.


All parties involved? Surely someone knows what these 'latest allegations' are!
 
Channel 7 news sport headline, read by Elspethhhhhhh.
Crows McAdam ready to fight his MONSTER suspension. Monster lol.

3 weeks is appropriate for that dog act. Hope they give him 4, for being pains in the arse.
