AFL great Jimmy Bartel feels “incredibly uncomfortable” at the prospect of former North Melbourne player Tarryn Thomas being given another chance at a football career , as the league announces plans to pay tribute to women killed by gendered violence .
Thomas was suspended for 18 weeks after being found guilty of misconduct towards a woman, including making threats. It was the third time he was accused of offensive behaviour involving women. “As an industry, do we just wash our hands and say we’re done with him? Or do we help him? I’d prefer to sit in the help camp,” Scott said on Wednesday.
“I feel very uncomfortable with it. I get the whole premise of forgiveness and chances, he’s had a number of chances with his alleged behaviour,” Bartel “So I get your premise of, the AFL, we can lead the charge, we can rehabilitate, we can be a leader in this space. But this whole, forgiveness, try again try again, is not working. So at some stage, what happened in the past ... we’ve actually got to go a bit more of a different direction. I lean a bit towards more zero tolerance than others because that’s personal to me.
