He's pretty much playing Jarryd Blair's role except he kicks goals and can chop out in the middle better.

That would be the “anti Blair” role.

He's a gun.

Gut runs, bull in the middle, classy disposal and always gets a goal. Most underrated at Collingwood.

Correction, would be a gun if he 1. improved his 2-way running and 2. improved his field kicking. I'm a long term fan and they're areas I think he can improve.

Considering he was drafted in 2009 and is 26 this season and is entering his prime years its not so much long term, you want him performing right now and hope for another 4-5 seasons.

Would love for him to have a breakout year and kick 40+ goals getting high teens disposals. Would be great to repay the club after the constant persistant with him.

Not sure what you're getting at. I was a fan when he started at the club and the limited VFL exposure we got through his injury ravaged 1st 3 years at the club. Where Thomas is concerned, it doesn't get much longer term than that. Given those injury impacted years and the 2 years suspension, I actually think he's currently well ahead of where most would assume he'd be, particularly if you look at his form early last season.

we've shown him incredible loyalty and faith, good to see it pay off.

Yep, he's obviously worked his backside off since the ban, great to see, he's certainly made me eat my words.

He's 26 but had 2 years off, so might also have some longevity since that's 2 years of bashing and crashing he's missed.

Just proves he's a good driver.

Hope so!
