Dale Thomas

[Ford Fairlane]

Bloody hell he's good to watch. What a goer. He's like Ronnie Wearmouth on speed. Collingwood copped some flack for drafting him? Stuff that.

Hope he's ok too.

 

[Paddywhackers]

Thomas is going to be a superstar of the game!!!

 

[Jabso]

Give him a decent body and he will be a gun midfielder. How can you say he won't be a good midfielder when he can get the ball out of a tight spot and get a great handball out or just spin his way out of trouble.

 

[Carolyn]

I hope he's alright. From what I heard, he copped a nasty knock to the head and suffered concussion.

 

[Hadders]

He looked OK after the game. Was chatting to the players etc.

But I am more impressed by DT every week I see him. His spoil running with the flight of the ball in the 3rd quarter(?) was sensational. Saved a certain goal and then buttered up on the deck and helped to clear it to a Pies player.

Loved it.

 

[Drizt]

He has balls of steal.... soooo bloody courageous.

recon he will be a star

 

[Z_K]

Will be the best player from his draft. He is not a sensational kick (above average though), but save that, he has it all. If his body develops well, he will be a super midfielder.

I recon pendelbury will have something to say about that.

lets wait 3 years though.

 

[croation-sensation]

Loved Dale since the Tac under 18's championships hes got great flair and as seen tonight courage....
going to be a top player and just what we need for the next decade.

 

[Jabso]

This draft was rated pretty poorly by critics. At this early stage it's looking pretty good with the form of players like Thomas, Murphy, Pendlebury, N.Jones, Higgins, Kennedy, Birchall, Swallow etc.

Marc Murphy can play a bit.

That "crash" was as sickening incident I've seen on a footy field and I couldn't bare to watch the replay. You think that's the end of their season but Bryan had a similar incident last year in his debut IIRC and he wasn't ruled out from selection for the rest of the year.

You gotta love this kid,can't wait to see him once his body is fully developed.
Has poise,is fearless & explosive...A rare talent he is

 

[Waite_30]

Gun, will be an awesome player. I hope he's ok.

 

[Z_K]

Marc Murphy can play a bit.

Meh. Just an uglier Andy Swallow.

Thomas is not a ball hunter like Murphy. He will always average less posessions. But he will hurt sides much more IMO.

haha nice one, he certainly has a cult following already young Thomas

Is the mop head gunna play this week against us, or is he still injured

I have a good feeling about our chances this week because history is against you guys i.e. when was the last time you beat us twice in a year

Probably won't miss this week.

Tough as nails

[Coin_Toss]

Thomas will play this week.

 

[jimmy35]

He looks good the young fella . Nice to see some oppostition supporters with some kind , unbiased words about him.

True, but when was the last time you have only won 2 games at round 18?

lol

 

[in and under]

thomas is awsome for his age and size, such courage and confidence isnt found in many young players these days. When he puts on a few more KGs and spends a few years in the gym he will be beter than ever and be able to cop those heavy blows and hopfully dish a few out. The kid can play. he will be with us for a long successful career.

[Jack-Packenham]

I love watching him play. Full of passion and class. Chases hard unlike some of the more experienced guys (taz).
