Dale Thomas

[Fraser]

Thought this guy really hurt us. I must admit I thought he was gone not long ago but has had a great season and must be stopped next week. A top game and great skills under extreme pressure. Having said that, thought Goddard and Hayes played much better but give him a wrap too.

 

[Adz]

Easily the best blonde on the ground.

 

[favourites]

Thomas is 22, the way he put his body on the line for the team today was unreal.

Got lots of good footy ahead of him.

 

[bluey49]

He is a true hard player. Great , the way he attacks the pill. His hardness at the footy is old school. I know he gets knocked but I think he will be a 200 game tough nut with a bit of special on the side.

Shhh. Don't let the knobs on Big Footy who are adamant he is soft hear you.

 

[Cohzee]

He was BOG in the first half. But ****ing hell he loves to go for the boundary.

 

[mysainters]

Yep, fantastic game, so improved...seems very driven.

 

[stkfc_cowboys]

I will confess, I am a bit of a Daisy basher, but he really did turn it on today. All the respect I've lost for Harry O has been transfered to Daisy

 

[Number 10]

Good game by Thomas, if only our players could step up like him.
As mentioned, well done to Goddard and Hayes, were fantastic and that mark goddard took was amazing, although i didnt want to admit it at the time.

Shit******** im nervous...again

 

[Dojo]

As I've said many a time this year...Daisy has really stepped up, used to shirk the hard stuff, now he seems to love it. All class.

 

[bpg1986]

I've been a harsh critic of his over the years, thought he was all hype.

He proved me wrong today. It was a really gutsy performance and in my opinion he was the Pies best player.

Looks like he has improving in him, and could step up to the real elite level in the next year or 2.

Great game, calling him soft and fair weather looks silly now.

Well done Daisy.

 

[Hawks1523]

Would have been right up there in Norm Smith contention at half time. Would say he was Collingwoods second best player out there today, thought Maxwell played a great game.

 

[dan warna]

How, in such a tight physical game, could he time and time find space?

hard work.

he ran and ran and ran and ran and ran to make space.

some of his kicking was skewed but then wth the yards he ran, i can see he was pretty buggered.

hate him, wish he did a hammy or something (i know bad karma yada yada yada) but his work effort was massive, and there wasn't anyone at st kilda who could keep up with him, and no one at st kilda is unfit.

that is clearly a testimony to his work effort.

 

[Copernicus]

He hasn't been in any way 'soft' for quite some time. Never shirks it as far as I can tell, and runs his guts out. A bloody good performance from Daisy. He's a good one.

 

[Zahki]

His best game of the year, he picked a good time to have it too.

 

[rose jam]

Amazing finals player

 

[CF]

thought he started the game very well but faded out of it as the match progressed. But it was a good game by him.

 

[Zeke]

Daisy was BOG in the first half, and finished strongly.

Top 3 on the ground for the day.

Is not, and has never been, soft.

 

[dmc333]

For a guy with a body like a drowned rat, he plays like a tiger.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Don't know how much football you've ever watched, not much apparently but shirking the hard stuff has never been a problem for Daisy. It's been his consistency in other areas. Very good footballer.

 

[roomachine]

He was Collingwoods stand out best player and his hardness at the contest impressed me.

 

[Xtreme]

Decent first half, may as well have been Leon Davis "mark 2" in the second half.

 

[The Fact]

Yep, fantastic game, so improved...seems very driven.

I was a hater because of all the media work but yesterday and in fact all year he is really becoming a really good player and is part of the reason I'm starting to get a soft spot for the pies

 

[folester41]

im one of many that give him stick but he has been outstanding this season and even better in the grand final, good on you daisy for working yourself into the ground and showing us all your more than a few fancy touches.

 

[rose jam]

Decent first half, may as well have been Leon Davis "mark 2" in the second half.

After 2 years of garbage hard to see how the Hawks are carrying arrogance around still. Still living a fools paradise
