BigFooty Emerging Star - Round 1

Dale Thomas - Collingwood

The exciting youngster from Collingwood, Dale Thomas has showed why he was the no.2 pick in the 2005 NAB AFL Draft, impressing fans all over the country with a great debut.

An excellent pre-season, Thomas made his debut in the first round with high expectations from supporters. He had 16 touches and 8 marks and 2 goals. Also, he took a Mark of the Week contender with a speccy taken over the Adelaide defence, and then to top off a magnificent debut that raised eyebrows of the general public he took on champion player Andrew McLeod.

Dale Thomas is the Round 1 BigFooty Emerging Star winner and is nominated for the overall winner of the 2006 BigFooty Emerging Star.

I watched the whole Carlton game cause me mate's a Dee's supporter and Murphy was good in a more difficult role, but Thomas' debut was the most impressive of the weekend.

I don't think you can close a poll in half a day, but anyway...

Have you been hanging out with Karl Norman? You're both deluded.

Kennedy hasn't even debuted yet.
