Brad Scott said, in his view, his former North Melbourne player Tarryn Thomas is “a good person”, despite having made “some terrible mistakes”.
Tarryn Thomas’ former coach at North Melbourne, Brad Scott, has spoken of the importance of giving players like him a second chance.
Thomas was suspended by North Melbourne in 2023 and initially charged by police with threatening to distribute an intimate image before prosecutors agreed to drop the charge in July and replaced it with another offence of using a carriage service to harass. He did not record a conviction for a criminal offence.Justin McManus
“The reality is that there are people from privileged backgrounds who have had every opportunity in life, and there are others who haven’t,” Scott said. “But I just tend to think that people make mistakes. If you keep making the same mistake, there’s an issue, but as leaders we expect young people to make mistakes.
