Makes sense, I often pay large sums of money to related charities when I've done nothing wrong.

Tyler Sellers added to the Roos list by working his arse off in the VFL and forcing his way in via performances.

North Melbourne’s Tarryn Thomas has received an 18-week suspension from the AFL.

Unlucky, did nothing wrong.

The AFL says its investigation into Tarryn Thomas’ latest breaches are ongoing as North Melbourne braces for a long ban which could wipe out most of his 2024 season.

But the AFL has denied it has suspended him for 18 weeks despite reports on Monday, saying the investigation is continuing.

Typical of the AFL media, one person has mentioned it so all the other media outlets are running with it as fact

Let’s not wait until an official announcement

Looks like it's going to be right, just reported before the official announcement which is not uncommon.

The bloke can play but how patient can you be?
Surely you'll cut ties with him now?

Shouldn't we be focused on his actions? Domestic violence is a blight on our society yet we're here worrying about him not playing football.

If they sack him now he will end up at a club with a "strong culture (cough Geelong)" for free

If they keep him but not really keep him (18 weeks) they will get something for him in a trade

So effectively he's a list clogger for this year. North can't sack him and open another list spot?

You’d hope not.
Player or club can’t benefit here in anyway
