and let that be a lesson to you all. Nobody commits half a dozen separate acts of domestic violence in a row and gets away with it at North!

Sorry I must have missed the response.

Why did he meet with Essendon in September 2023?

Impressed by what the Prez had to say today.


While critical of their efforts with him over the past couple of years, this time they were decisive and held true to their values as a club. A strong stand, and the right one.

 

[kaiserchief13]

So what was the actual 18 week suspension for? It's very vague stating "multiple acts of misconduct including threatening a woman via direct messages multiple times". What was said in these messages?

 

[GudOnya]

About time.

Sorry I must have missed the response.

Dunno, why - did we trade him in?

 

[Aussie in exile]

About time.

Should have been longer

 

[the big lebowski]

You wanted to. Being under contract meant it didn’t happen.

You weren’t alone however. Geelong and Collingwood also met with him.

Seemingly no one cared about his domestic violence issues then.

Don’t think anyone will care now either.

Threatening a woman via direct messages multiple times seems to cover it quite clearly. Bloke did it in a way that leaves a paper trail.

Yeah but that's up to interpretation. I think they should release what the actual 'threats' were

 

[GWT6]

As much as I think North has done the right thing in sacking him, I fear that without a club watching him 24/7 he will be much worse.

Look at Liam Jarrah - he has caused a lot of pain since he was cut.

Different circumstances but Ablett was always a garbage human, he ended up right off the rails when not having constant minders and killed woman.

I don't know what the answer is, but rather than just completely cutting him off, I think it would be good if he stayed under the club's guidance for the next 12 months to try and work through his issues - for the safety of others.

 

[Arr0w]

Certainly needs help, but if the fresh allegations are true, should be banned from the AFL and jailed

Step 1, rest is up to him

Channeling the famous tennis player Vitas Geralitis quote after finally beating Jimmy Connors

"Nobody beats Vitas Geralitis 17 times in a row!"

at least it didn't go over everyone's head

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Oh Lance, I got the reference to your post and acknowledged it as a good line. Just clarified the facts.

You seem salty since I called your ignorance on straw man arguments.

 

[Profop]

That never happens. Would betray the privacy of the victim and what would it gain. Some unimportant bozo on the internet gets to pass further judgement?

No one cares about your interpretation of the threats

 

[Shinboner roo]

I doubt it will ever drop. He will end up in and out of prison for the rest of his life. Some people are just wired wrong.

Fair call

He was under the club's guidence already and continued his behaviour. I doubt anything short of locking him up will prevent him from hurting others. The sad reality is that some people just won't change no matter how much support you give them.

I do hope he sorts himself out, but only so that he doesn't hurt anyone again.

 

[weltschmerz]

AFL general counsel Stephen Meade said Thomas' decision to send the offending messages while undertaking behavioural education program was a factor in the sanction.

Seems relevant.

 

[Chadwiko]

He threatened a woman multiple times in a (very) serious way, while he was in the midst of his mandated rehab/respect for women education programs.

In short, he was already on his last chance and by his own actions proved that he was taking the piss.

 

[Outtatym]

OK so what does the sooking NMFC want now from the AFL? Salary cap relief? More priority draft picks? How about you FRO and fold or merge you basketcase.

You sound salty

Do the crime
Do the time

He had chance after chance but didn't seize the opportunity for redemption

 

[Ticky009]

Collingwood, Essendon, Geelong and Sydney. One of those 4 will pick him up IMO. Hopefully it's not Essendon.

Sydney dumped Elijah Taylor due to DV charges. Tarrant isn't getting past the front door at the Swans.

First of all the victims name doesn't have to be anywhere and what would it gain? All afl players know what is not allowed

 

[perplexed]

Sydney dumped Elijah Taylor due to DV charges.

True but somewhat disingenuous. Sydney effectively dumped Taylor for breaching covid lockdown rules. The DV occurred whilst suspended for this and receiving no assistance or support at all from the club - despite his obvious needs.
