NORTH Melbourne utility Tarryn Thomas has a decision to make about his future after flouting road rules in a social media video, AFL chief Gillon McLachlan says.

Thomas, who has twice been stood down by North this year over concerns about his treatment of women, is under a fresh spotlight after posting a video clip to social media on Monday night.

The video shows Thomas behind the wheel of his Mercedes with his feet on the dashboard as the vehicle drifts between two lanes.

He captioned the clip: "Living my best life".

McLachlan backed the handling of Thomas by North, who last month indefinitely stood down the 23-year-old.

"It's pretty clear from North Melbourne how they have dealt with it," McLachlan told reporters on Wednesday.

"Tarryn has got to make a decision about what he wants to do with his future.

"He either comes back into the community and the fold and delivers on AFL and club standards as well as community expectations, or he won't participate.

"North has said that and I certainly agree with their position.

"It's out of his hands at the moment. Until he shows that he's willing to actually come back into the fold properly in a committed way, I don't think there's a decision to make."

But Thomas said he was "desperate to get back playing the game I love".

"I just can't wait to get back," he told the Seven Network.

"I'm doing everything I can to get back and the club is helping me and directing me.

"There are a lot of people outside the club trying to get help and the club is doing an amazing job for me."

North, in a statement on Tuesday night, said Thomas "has not made adequate progress to be returned into the club environment at this stage".

Thomas was last month stood down indefinitely by the Kangaroos until he demonstrates progress in a respectful behaviour education program.

That followed Thomas briefly returning to Arden Street in late February after being stood down in January.

He was charged in January with threatening to distribute an intimate image and last month faced court. The case will return to the Broadmeadows Magistrates Court on July 18.

In February, Thomas faced two counts of violating a court order, but those charges were subsequently dropped.

North were last month made aware of further allegations of inappropriate behaviour, which they reported to the AFL's integrity unit.
