North Melbourne Star Player Tarryn Thomas Faces Lengthy Suspension Following AFL Probe

North Melbourne‘s midfield-forward sensation Tarryn Thomas is on the brink of a substantial suspension from the AFL after an intensive investigation by the league’s Integrity Unit. The inquiry arose from recent allegations of misconduct directed at Thomas by a female individual earlier this year.

Renowned sports journalist Tom Morris revealed on Monday that Thomas has been slapped with an 18-week ban by the AFL, a penalty endorsed by the AFL Commission. The comprehensive probe into Thomas’ actions is still in progress.

Reports suggest that the specific details regarding the recent accusations against Thomas have not been disclosed to the North Melbourne Football Club. Club spokesperson Viney emphasized the necessity to carefully examine the findings of the investigation before determining their next course of action.

During the investigative period, Thomas had been training separately from his teammates, awaiting the outcome of the Integrity Unit’s inquiry. The 2024 season marks the final year of Thomas’ current contract with the Kangaroos.

Since his selection as the 8th pick in the 2018 national draft, Thomas has showcased his talent in 69 senior games for North Melbourne. As the situation unfolds, the football community eagerly awaits further updates on the ongoing investigation and its implications for the star player.
