A top footy coach has been met with backlash after voicing support for the return of a suspended player to the AFL, amid national conversations around behaviour towards women.
Tarryn Thomas was sacked from North Melbourne club the Kangaroos earlier this year and is currently serving an 18-match suspension from the AFL.
“I can’t speak to what’s happened in the last couple of years in relation to Tarryn, I haven’t been privy to all the information,” Scott said. Scott’s comments were quickly slammed online, with some calling for the coach to “read the room” given the national spotlight on behaviour towards women, following the deaths of at least 28 women who have been allegedly killed by men this year.
“Great timing Brad Scott. This isn’t a second chance, North gave him multiple chances,” another wrote. “I’m open to all discussions but I feel incredibly uncomfortable that we’re gonna have players arm-in-arm, another woman dies … I just find it very hard.”“It was a privilege to get multiple opportunities. And now you’re being spoken about with the privilege of getting another lifeline? Throw your arms around him, support him, but you don’t have to do that at AFL level,” he said.
“They can be making strong choices around this kind of behaviour. The NRL did this. As soon as there was allegations levelled against players, they were sidelined until a outcome from the investigation.”
