Stood-down North Melbourne star Tarryn Thomas has again come under fire after posting a video, now deleted, which appeared to show him driving dangerously.
Nine News aired footage of an Instagram post from Thomas, shared only with his close friends, which showed him driving a Mercedes with his feet up on the dashboard.
The car was also straddling the line in the middle of two lanes, with the caption suggesting Thomas was driving between Sydney and Melbourne.

The Kangaroos said in a statement on Tuesday night: “North Melbourne is aware of a social media post by Tarryn Thomas from Monday night.
“Thomas has been away from the AFL program for the past three weeks and will continue to spend time away from the club.
“The club continues to assess Thomas’ progress towards meeting club and community expectations”
Three weeks ago Thomas was stood down by the Kangaroos after further allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards women emerged.
It was also determined he had not made enough progress in his respectful behaviour program.

“This decision has been made on the back of the education program put in place over the last eight weeks. We’ve seen some improvement in some of the understanding and accountability around that program we put in place,” Roos footy boss Todd Viney said at the time.
“Unfortunately, (he’s) still not quite at the level that he needs to be and that’s been our own observations but also the observations from the key providers of some of those services we’ve put in place.
“So Tarryn’s still got some work to be done in that area before he’s available to play for the football club.
“Second to that we are aware of the new allegations that are against Tarryn.
“So this is a serious concern to us again, it’s with AFL Integrity, we’re aware of some of those allegations but with respect to and consideration to the victim of these allegations, we’re not at liberty to say too much around those details out of respect for her.”
Thomas previously stepped away from the club after allegations of threats of violence against women emerged.
In January he was charged by police with one count of threatening to distribute an intimate image.
