Doesnt he earn 1.4 mill /year?

So about 2/3 of his fortnightly take home? Whack!

Guess the club pays it and other than costing them $20k there is no real penalty.

Surely its a fringe benefit/payment in kind, so I woudl expect that Clarko still pays tax on it. Fines are not tax deductable either!

Tarryn Thomas will return to football as an AFL-listed player in 2025 – assuming he is able to prove to the league he has satisfactorily completed a behavioural change program.

The next steps for Tarryn Thomas, who is set to train with a state league club in coming weeks and is intent on playing next year. The big hurdle is getting AFL approval which is a real challenge given his adherence to previous behavioural programs

I can't wait for the redemption story and the media fanfare once he's established as a coastal resident with property holdings.

Anybody in the media who had Finlayson hung, drawn and quartered for what he said a couple of weeks ago, and in the same breath are barracking hard for the Tarryn Thomas redemption arc/road to glory, are disgusting human beings. No doubt it will be the same media scum who stayed silent like cowards while Thomas was terrorizing a number of different women over a few years in his private life.

We live in a world where there is always someone ready to be offended by anything and everything.

However, really malevolent intent is not considered as seriously as saying something out of place, but the media love a redemption story regardless.

Words uttered can and should be criticised heavily when they are as distasteful as what Finlayson said (racist/religious language obviously as well). But they should always be in proportion to sustained patterns of actual violence and threatening behaviour towards multiple women - media grubs who shout from the rooftops for the former but then ignore the latter for years are quite simply shit people and total cowards. We all know who they are.
