to be honest, if you dont understand that DV isn't acceptable before getting onto an AFL list, i doubt there's any club or program you can do to change that.

AFL just need to be black and white on it. You have any involvement in DV (IE found guilty of it), you are banned for life. it's really that easy.

Like it or not, the narrative is getting out there.

Cynics are fully expecting a 'rehabilitation roadshow' with Tarryn Thomas, and the AFL signing off on him being allowed to continue his AFL career at another club.

Would you draft him? Does your club need him? Moral/ethical debates aside, is he consistent and driven enough on the footy field to be someone worth taking a risk on?

I'd give up my membership if we picked him up. Wouldn't get a cent out of me until he's gone.

I can kind of understand someone who grew up in a violent or dysfunctional environment having some pretty messed up views on things.

If TT had been serious about taking the programs, and made some statement to the effect of "I didn't appreciate how my difficult upbringing had affected my behaviour until I had it laid out like this", people probably would have been willing to forgive him. It's a story people could at least understand if there had been some sort of genuine remorse there.

Extrapolate that out to needing managers at work, police officers, etc

If people just did the right thing all the time, we wouldn’t need them either.

Managers at work? What? How you managed to connect the two is bewildering.

There's a difference between knowing that something is wrong and doing it anyway to this situation we have here.

Its a tick a box exercise.

TT might get him another chance but AFL need to get serious and anything like this should carry life bans. No use getting the players arm in arm when they could be arm in arm with a serial female abuser.

Because Tarryn thought (and probably still does) that his behaviour to be “not wrong”.

That’s why we have managers and police etc etc.

We know it’s wrong.

Some people aren’t wired that way.

Managers? WTF are you talking about? What has managers got to do with this topic?

A manager's role is to direct their staff in the direction, they are not like the police at all.

No wonder our society is screwed 🤣

So telling someone to do something the right way in an office is not similar to a police officer giving a verbal caution on the street?

How is one direction different from another?

omg, they're not police, they don't tell you to do something that's right or wrong, they manage your performance

If you can't see the difference between a cop and a manager then no one can help you.

It's completely off topic anyway, i won't respond to any more of your delusional posts, welcome to ignore

🤣

And they also have to - at times - issue warnings if your performance is not up to standard.

Sometimes, even, putting you through a course to bring your performance up to a certain standard. To remind you of your obligations to your employer.

You see now how my analogy circles back to your very first point?
