Bloody shattering TT is having these issues. He is the exact sort of player we need firing in our midfield for the next 5-7 years. He has guys like Powell & Phillips covered 5-fold in terms of talent, impact on a game, awareness, skill, ability to hit the scoreboard etc.

Dead-set shattering.

AFL 2024: Tarryn Thomas’s North Melbourne training exile ahead of Integrity Unit grilling​

Tarryn Thomas’s AFL career remains in limbo as the North Melbourne star prepares to front the AFL Integrity Unit over allegations of inappropriate behaviour.

Tarryn Thomas will continue to train away from North Melbourne’s main group as he awaits his interview at AFL House.
The embattled Kangaroo missed a lengthy match simulation session on Friday and will again skip training with his teammates on Monday.

Thomas was due to front the AFL Integrity Unit on Thursday to answer to allegations of inappropriate behaviour but the interview was postponed as he couldn’t arrange for his lawyers to be present.

It is understood the allegations stem from a complaint made by a woman to the integrity unit.

North Melbourne confirmed on Sunday that Thomas would be away from the group until after his meeting at AFL HQ.

The AFL said on Thursday it would speak to Thomas “as soon as possible next week” but didn’t have an updated date when asked by this masthead on Sunday.

The Roos have been training at La Trobe University in Bundoora while work is underway on the oval at Arden Street.

North Melbourne is due to face Collingwood in an unofficial pre-season match on February 21 and Thomas was due to fully ramp up his training in coming weeks after minor groin surgery slowed down his summer.

Thomas, 23, has dealt with a series of off-field issues in recent years, including a club-enforced suspension in February after accusations of threats of violence towards women.

He was directed to education training during the suspension and returned to the AFL side in round 12.

Thomas has also been fined for driving offences including a video in which he was seen driving a car while resting his feet on the centre console.

He played 12 matches last year and finished sixth in the club best-and-fairest.

A statement from North Melbourne on Thursday said the club would “not be in a position to comment on the new allegation of inappropriate behaviour against Thomas until after he has met with the AFL’s Integrity Unit”.

Thomas is out of contract at the end of 2024.

He's rehab group anyways right now, better off staying away to avoid creating more of a distraction to the rest of the group.

The only real issue here is the leak but if it hadn't happened, the complainant would have gone to the media anyway and we'd be in the same situation. Giving Tarryn time away from the group was necessary under the circumstances.

Yeah not sure there is any reason for this to be leaked. In my opinion the aggrieved would have leaked it, as if it is the same lady at the centre of this latest fiasco. No doubt she would have access to media types.

Is Eddies son single, maybe they should date
 
Interesting no formal stand down that I've seen from the club.

More a we'll get this bullshit sorted asap just keep your head down until then vibe.

Thomas' Instagram bio says he's Black and Native American. Is there a joke I'm missing? I've never once heard he has any Native American ancestry? Lol
 
Blows me away how quickly everyone on both sides wants to judge here.

Everything from she's trouble to he's beating her with a fire poker. All based on little real knowledge or fact.

Let's all just breathe and see what comes, the accusations both ways are not healthy for anyone.

A skilled footballer does not mean a good person.
A complainant does not make a victim.

Just scary how quickly the peanut gallery want blood either way.
