Won’t be back you’d imagine.
What a loser.
North fans though, as always, classic.

They won’t delist him though due to the off chance someone wants to sign him.
Will stay on the list so they can work out what happens with his money etc.

He’s an idiot and incredibly immature and he also attracts and seeks out people similarly volatile to him which doesn’t help
You would hope he will mature with age but I have a feeling that won’t happen for many more years and by the time it does he’ll be too old to play afl
Given their recent history I expect St Kilda to take a punt on him at some point.
In saying that though I hope no one touches him as being a domestic abuser should not be rewarded.
I strongly believe that people guilty of domestic violence should have their details published on an official government website that is easily searchable, making it so anyone considering dating one of these people will know before dating them if this person has a history of hitting, beating, strangling or threatening previous partners. People have a right to know these things before dating someone new.

People who think he wont get another chance are delusional as the kid has way too much talent and this kick up the backside will do him the world of good.
Bombers would be the most likely with Scott as coach followed closely by Saints

What's the timeline of events that has lead to this. Apologies for my ignorance do we know exactly what he did this last time?
From the AFL statement:
After being alerted by a complaint through the AFL portal in late January, Thomas was interviewed by AFLIU investigators on 29 January 2024. It was ultimately determined by the AFL that Thomas had engaged in multiple acts of misconduct including threatening a woman via direct messages multiple times.
In determining the sanction, the AFL took into account the evidence over a period of time which included Thomas engaging in misconduct while he was undertaking education in 2023 to deal with similar behaviours from earlier that year.
Given AFLW it's not going to be a good look for any club to pick him up.

huh? I would hope it didn't. Should have been an easy decision for them; they can't have one of their members acting that way. They have nothing to defend or negotiate.

Has it been established as fact what he actually did?
I get people wanting to pile on him and judge him for what they imagine or have 'heard' he has done.
For those of us who prefer to base our assessment on actual evidence, what are the facts of the case?
As for Tarryn himself, he's only 23, that's still a kid to me, I hope he picks himself up and overcomes this.
He obviously made some mistakes for things to have ended up here, but he is still young enough to learn from them.
Maybe in a few years we will see him playing professional football and living a good life off the field.
There are such things as redemption arcs and even if it is for another club, I hope a good career is still ahead of him.
There are plenty of people out there who have thrown golden opportunities away, in all walks of life.
Tarryn could go on to learn and grow and make positive changes to his life and become a better person.
If he does this, it could be an example for other people who have messed up to look to, to see there's always hope.

The facts are that he has threatened violence against women on multiple occasions over a period of at least 2 years despite repeated warnings and chances to correct/cease this behaviour.
As far as I am concerned threatening to send naked pictures of his then-girlfriend should have been enough to have him removed from the AFL entirely so what he has done after that doesn't matter so much for me since it is getting the result he should have been given last year.
Yeah because there's no women in the aflpa!....

Yep, to become a member they do what the Pope used to have to do and strip naked so everyone can see their testicles, it is just to make sure no girls get into the club.

this coming from a club who thought it was morally appropriate to recruit Stringer
That's like asking a methhead to not be aggressive and violent, or a pig not to roll in shit. The guy has some serious chemical imbalance or something.

I've already said, multiple times in the other Thomas thread, that wasn't a good idea.
If you want to deflect Rodney you need to find another target.

It’s been established as fact. The club endorsed the AFL’s findings. TT and his lawyer and his manager haven’t attempted to refute the factual basis of the infringements, even though they’ve had the opportunity.
Just because the commission hasn’t laid out a forensic level of detail for public consumption doesnt mean it hasn’t been established as fact by all the lawyers involved. The victims right to privacy has just been deemed more important than the desirability of us to know every salacious element, and fair enough. The people who need to know, know.
