North Melbourne's Tarryn Thomas receives 18-week AFL ...

Troubled North Melbourne player Tarryn Thomas is set to miss the majority of the 2024 season after being hit with an 18-week ban by the AFL, according to a 9 News report.

The star midfielder-forward went to league headquarters late last month to front the AFL integrity unit after new domestic violence allegations were made against him.

Thomas was twice stood down by the club last year amid concerns over his behaviour towards women.

He was put through a respect and responsibility education program and spent three weeks in the VFL before later earning a senior recall, ultimately playing 12 AFL games last year.
