The AFL cannot be taken seriously on this issue if they green-light TT to return to AFL football.
He's made his bed.
Has a legitimate court found Thomas guilty of anything?
You think the whole thing is made up? Put your tinfoil hat back on. Its clear as day, he's admitted wrong doing himself in the past.
Very, and I mean very few things actually go to court, almost everything is settled out of court which is exactly what happened to the charges laid against him. On his part he had to make a donation to charity and what would have been a private settlement with the victim.
If he were innocent he would likely be telling people as such.
Are there figures for the number of women bashed by their partner after the partner getting pissed and losing all their money at an AFL game or pub watching the footy. Maybe betfair or similar are betting on the number and you can get a few same game multis happening.
Gambling is certainly one of the major foundations behind DV.
More about keeping the issue in the public consciousness and implementing societal changes and public pressureI may be Naive but I assume men know that bashing and murdering women is wrong, players/coaches/umpires standing in a circle joining hands is not going to stop a lunatic from committing murder or assault.
One might argue you don't get to zero tolerance without making these symbolic gestures to begin with.
It is plausible Carlton are not one of the clubs circling Tarryn Thomas purely as a result of wearing orange socks once a season for the past 8 years.
It’s why Ross Lyon never got the job with us.
Yep. Gambling + piss = no money. It goes on from there. But the AFL players are going to stand in a circle before each game.
Starts with education from parents and teachers.
Then ban all sports advertising and animal racing.
Will fix DV a lot, will take time though.
Whilst good in sprint I don’t believe the AFL taking a stance does much. People who commit DV won’t be persuaded by that.

If you spend the weekend watching the footy you’ll be subjected to countless amounts of gambling ads.Gambling is certainly one of the major foundations behind DV.
None of these things is the AFL's problem. Everyone is ultimately accountable for their own choices and actions, blaming gambling and alcohol advertisements is a dumb as s**t excuse. The bigger problem in society imo is those who are constantly looking to blame someone or something else for their problems.The AFL can't be taken seriously for anything, except for gambling, alcohol and drugs.
So brave of the AFL.More about keeping the issue in the public consciousness and implementing societal changes and public pressure
Normal people calling out behaviour they see or suspect of people they know instead of just letting it go or pretending it’s none of their business
Also potentially helps give victims the courage to stand up and make changes or get themselves out of a situation that is toxic/ abusive

Thing is, the AFL can cut people loose. Sack them. Those people can go away, learn a trade, get a day job, live out their life.
There's no automatic right to play professional football. A surprising number of people don't, and they get along fine.
Couldn't give a toss about Tate but some of the hot topics surrounding him are misconceived as toxic because of how abrupt he is when in actuality the moral of most of his views are based on self accountability. Accountability is actually the cure to this issue rather the diverting blame to external people or things. Society these days is actually encouraged to blame their problems on anything and everything other than themselves. i.e, old m8 bashed his wife because of gambling, drugs + alcohol and lack of stance by public bodies like the AFL. How about NO, He bashed his wife because he chose to do those things, including the bashing.Problem is influences like Andrew Tate getting to 8 to 13 year olds early, getting into their heads at a very formative stage of development.
Unfortunately the AFL isn’t the only sports league like this.Haha no, we have to “rehabilitate them”.
Only the ones that can play, of course.
