Not the mid but providing run they have a tendency to drift up the ground.

Textbook crumbing after his man went up and left him alone.
Good acceleration with an artificial ankle...
good point but I can't help thinking over time Cloke will represent a better return on investment. Hope I'm wrong!I laugh at Collingwood supporters who claim we are over-paying for Thomas while at the same time they are paying nearly 100 thousand dollars per goal to Cloke so far in 2014

The effort is there, the problem was always going to be that he started from so far behind as far as fitness, strength and just being able to keep touch and kicking with ankle problems as he had.
He is getting better, unfortunately there are a lot of supporters who want it to go faster than it has or want him to fail because of the club he came from.
I genuinely thinks he wants to be here, and he wants the club to succeed.

Daisy certainly attacks the opposition with his tackles (our best?) & the contest when he can. He's coming from so far back he's going to miss the touch we expect. He's getting there but missing depth in his kicks. Prefer to judge later this year on his progress & next year on his status as top line player. No objection with his endeavour.

His smother in the dying moments of the West Coast game still gives me tingles. He is showing improvement so I think he can get to his best again.

Quick question... has Daisy been playing forward at all this year? Noticed he hasn't been having any impact on the scoreboard.

Really?
Loved his game on Friday night. He is slowly, but surely coming along. He could've easily blamed his injury for a slow start, but no he continues to persist and we are getting the reward. He just keeps pushing and pushing every week and is really showing us what he can do. I also love the way he celebrates when he kicks a goal and all the boys get around him. Shows how much it means to him and how much the team sparks up when he scores. He has replaced Betts as our barometer.

Like he has ankles now...
Same. I panicked until he came back on and I realised it was a concussion sub.

It would really help if they bothered to announce it was a concussion sub at the time.
Thank god for twitter.
Did anyone notice the Geelong player shove him into the ground when he was hurt from this incident?

Tatts have added to White's toughness however.

Great to see Daisy return to playing up the ground where he can use his smarts and skill. Only time he turned it over by foot was a pass on his wrong foot. 12 marks, six rebound 50s and four inside 50s shows he's moving well. As many clearances as Hill. Thomas has played every game this year. Stark contrast to Brock who came across and broke down.

His ball use is well above the standard of the club, along with this decision making
Got a lot of touches in the back 50, but used it well and had some really good offensive possesions
The more we can inject him in to the middle and running plays next year a much better team we'll be considering how we currently turn it over with the ball in the hands of other players
