Whether it is Simmo out or Wright, or someone else, any of Dow, O’Brien, Macreadie, Lamb, Garlett, Mullet, Polson, Kerr, Shaw, Graham and Kerridge should get a game before Thomas.With Doc out for the year, Thomas is a minor injury to Simmo away from a call-up to the seniors I reckon. Ditto an injury to Wright (unless Murph goes forward).
Gonna be important with our young side to have vocal leaders around the ground, and while Thomas may not be first choice with a fully fit list, he's certainly not far down the pecking order for that particular role.
All others being fit, I think he's the perfect candidate for VFL senior mentor in 2018.
Though if his body is feeling good and his confidence is building, who knows, he could have a couple more quality years in him.
Thomas’ best chance of a game is perhaps one of the legs when we have a 6 day break. We have 7 lots of 6 day breaks.
