Tarryn Thomas (born 25 March 2000) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the North Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Early life

Thomas was born in Sydney, New South Wales[1] into a family of Indigenous Australian descent (Kamilaroi and Lumaranatana).[2] He grew up playing rugby league and was identified as a junior prospect in the position of fullback,[3] which subsequently led to him joining the Penrith Panthers development academy.[4] At 12 years of age, Thomas relocated to Launceston, Tasmania, and began playing Australian rules football for the Prospect Hawks and eventually the North Launceston Bombers.[5]

He made history in 2016 when he was voted Tasmania's best under-16 and under-18 player at respective national championships in the same year.[6] Thomas was drafted by North Melbourne with their first selection and eighth overall in the 2018 national draft, after being part of North's Next Generation Academy (NGA).[7] He completed school at St Patrick's College, Launceston.

AFL career

Thomas made his debut as a late inclusion in North Melbourne's 21-point loss to the Brisbane Lions at Marvel Stadium in round 2, 2019.[8] Thomas received a 2019 AFL Rising Star nomination for his two goal effort in round 12 against Gold Coast.[9] Thomas had a career-best game in round 19 of the 2021 AFL season, where he kicked 4 goals and played a major part in the team's upset win over Carlton.[10]

At the start of 2024, Thomas was found to have engaged in inappropriate behaviour towards a woman, which followed a long list of off-field controversies and indiscretions.[11] He received an 18 game suspension from the AFL, which was subsequently followed by North Melbourne’s decision to sever ties with Thomas ahead of the 2024 AFL season.[12]

Legal issues

In 2023, Thomas was charged with threatening to distribute an intimate image; he was later stood down by the club, although he has a court case on July 18, 2023, to contest the charge.[13][14] The charge was Thomas's second over the 2022–23 AFL off-season, after he was previously caught driving while his licence was suspended.[15] Additionally, in a now-deleted Instagram video posted by Thomas, he appeared to have his feet up on a Mercedes dashboard while driving.[16]
