North Melbourne coach David Noble has gone to the defence of star player Tarryn Thomas, who was called 'disinterested' during the side's 57-point loss to Adelaide; revealing Thomas was struggling after the death of his grandmother.
Thomas had just one kick and two handballs as the Kangaroos cemented their position at the bottom of the ladder against the 13th-placed Adelaide at Blundstone Arena in Hobart.
Former Kangaroos great David King was highly critical of Thomas during the third term, at a point where he had only had two touches for the entire game.

'Just looking at Tarryn Thomas, he just doesn't look right to me. He just doesn't look like he's got the ability to explode or release onto the ball,' he said on the Fox Footy broadcast of the game.
'He's just shifting around at the moment … you just wonder what's going through his mind at this stage. He looks a fraction disinterested.'
