Bombers to meet with contracted Kangaroo
Essendon is expected to meet with North Melbourne youngster Tarryn Thomas as the Roos midfielder assesses his options despite being tied to Arden Street for the 2024 season.
Bombers coach Brad Scott was with the Kangaroos when Thomas joined the club as a top 10 pick, and would hand the flashy onballer his debut.
