AFL: Tarryn Thomas is starting preparations to return to the AFL in 2025.

A potential return to the AFL for Tarryn Thomas is a “really hard question” with no definitive answer , according to Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge .

It comes after the AFL announced players, coaches and umpires would come together in the middle of the ground before matches this week to “pay a silent tribute” to women who have lost their lives to violence.Watch every game of every round this Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE with no ad-breaks during play on Kayo. New to Kayo?No AFL coach has publicly said Tarryn Thomas should be refused another opportunity to play in the competition when his suspension ends ahead of the 2025 season.

“You hope Tarryn has learned from his own experiences and could be better. I can’t give an emphatic answer on that. We always hope that people can change,” Beveridge said.Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge says he hopes Thomas has ‘learnt’ from the punishment handed down by the AFL in February for inappropriate behaviour towards a woman.

Fresh allegations of threatening behaviour towards women brought to the AFL’s Integrity Unit triggered the investigation which resulted in his suspension and sacking. “To put the two together when I am not aware of facts would be mischievous at least and dangerous for me and everyone talking about it.”

“I think if an individual can demonstrate significant effort to understand their behaviour and to make genuine change, then there could be an opportunity for further chances, but I think it’s a case-by-case issue.”
