North Melbourne says midfielder Tarryn Thomas will not be available for selection at any level after the club found he had not made progress in a respectful-behaviour training program.
Thomas was stood down by the club last month amid allegations about his behaviour by the AFL's integrity unit.
The club said the 22-year-old was told to undertake training and education "to deal with his behavioural issues".
In a statement released this morning, North Melbourne said Thomas failed to meet expectations around the education program and would remain away from the playing group.
North Melbourne CEO Jennifer Watt said the club had not yet determined what its next course of action would be regarding Thomas.
"We are still committed to supporting Tarryn however it is clear he must show further progress before he can return to play matches for North Melbourne," she said.
North Melbourne general manager Todd Viney said Thomas would stay away from the club in the short term.
"We've seen some improvement in the understanding and accountability around that program. Unfortunately, still not quite at the level that we need it to be," he said
"Tarryn's still got some work to do in that area before he's available to play for the football club."
Thomas is due to face court next week.
He was charged in January with a single count of threatening to distribute an intimate image.
In February, Thomas signed a two-year contract extension that will last until the end of 2024.
He made his AFL debut in 2019 after being taken at pick number eight.
