What did do
Troubled North Melbourne player Tarryn Thomas is set to miss the majority of the 2024 season after being handed an 18-week ban by the AFL, 9 News reports.
The star midfielder-forward went before the AFL Integrity Unit at league headquarters late last month after new domestic violence allegations were made against him.
Thomas was sacked twice by the club last year due to concerns over his behavior towards women.
He was put through a respect and responsibility education program and spent three weeks in the VFL, before later being recalled to a senior position, ultimately playing 12 AFL games last year.
Allegations
He was initially charged with threatening to distribute an intimate image of another person, but this was reduced by prosecutors to using a carriage service to harass someone. Thomas was granted diversion, meaning he avoided criminal punishment, and was ordered to pay $1000 to charity.
Suspension
Reports have emerged that North Melbourne’s Tarryn Thomas has been slapped with a hefty 18-week suspension by the AFL.
However, the AFL immediately denied that any ruling had been handed down, even though it appeared that Thomas would be wiped out for at least half the season.
The Kangaroos midfielder was under investigation by the league over new allegations of domestic violence in mid-January.
On Monday, Channel 9’s chief football reporter Tom Morris reported that the league had handed the star an 18-week suspension following its investigation.
If the ban is 18 weeks as Morris reports, it means Thomas won’t be available to play until the 20th round in the 2024 season at the earliest, giving him four games to prove he deserves another contract. are eligible.
