Former North Melbourne footballer Tarryn Thomas facing fresh police investigation

The troubled AFL player was sacked by the club earlier this year after an investigation revealed threatening behaviour towards a woman.

I'm shocked to be sitting here.

Bloke absolutely cannot end up on a list, deserves nothing but distain at this point.

Any club that picks him up should be shut down or give up their AFLW license.

AFL rocked by shock death of former star aged 29

Cam McCarthy was once one of the brightest forwards in the game.

This article speaks in euphemisms and otherwise unclear wording, but it appears that four Freo players have committed suicide in the last six years. It's tough in the world, and the wild footy lifestyle makes life all the much harder, it seems.

I believe there are unspoken rules regarding to the reporting of suicide.
I was livid when an AFLW player suicided a few years ago and they didn't report it as such give at the time there was a belief that the suicide came about during a period of more open bigotry towards AFLW/LGBTQIA+ dialogue and the report didn't mention anything about suicide.
Someone explained to me that they seek to avoid doing so due to the propensity for those kinds of reports to correlate with more people suiciding especially if they have similar experiences to the person reported as suiciding. It can also be exceptionally triggering for friends/family of the person who died.

The car crash involved his best friend hitting his car when he unexpectedly turned.

I think you’ll find it was the other way around, according to some reports.

Sylvia was driving at high speed, came over the crest, sun in his eyes & hit his mates car who was stationary preparing to turn right

not sure I'm cool enough for a $300 reversible Hawks jacket, maybe someone here is though...

Yeah I’m not remotely as suave as Jars so wouldn’t be able to pull off that look.

JFH should be sitting on the bench right now getting a concussion test. That was a knee to the head in a very susceptible spot

Port have history on this.

What’s this nonsense I’ve heard about Z Guthrie being All Australian? He’s just alright, nothing special IMO.

 

[Off The Couch]

I’m not a fan of this constant aggravation of a player to the point they react.
It’s happening to Sicily and in this game Stewart - is it in the “spirit” of the game

 

[smish]

Butters would have to be my favourite player in the league to watch

JHF just looks ripe to elevate himself to elite.

Luvin the crowd noise

So beautiful when they pan to the salty cats fans in the crowd

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Port have come to play ha ha.
Can they keep it up.

Should back themselves against the worst midfield in the AFL

Fabulous quarter time score and Port get another. Geelong are a rabble.

Sorry, can’t agree. Why Stewart has been free to do as he pleases for years on end staggers me. About time someone gave it to him. Bit of niggle and he loses the plot. Sicily has copped it for years.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Kenny has gone for the “can’t hear you”

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Port are looking really good here, they are moving the ball so fast and Geelong can't keep up.

 

[Billyc]

Port at their best look amazing. They just never produce it in September

 

[macdaddio]

Ffs I should be happy the Cats are getting flogged, but I did my sisters footy tips and tipped the Cats.
Now I won’t hear the end of it.

Cats coming crashing back to earth. Just not that good

They're stats across the board have been upper middle of table across a lot of stats, with centre clearances being distinctly mid-table.

Main thing they've been really been good with is pressure and tackling.

Feels like this game is more of the same.

 

[Cleavy]

good, dent their %
