Rumour Daisy Thomas can spell Hawthorn - rampant speculation ITT

[Ripper Rioli]

I was also a 'hater' of Daisy, but his 2010 and 11' finals series was something to uphold, he was fantastic.
I have faith in Hawthorn, very rarely have we failed to take due diligence when picking up a player with a cloud over there head, especially with a pricetag like his.

 

[Line_In_The_Sand]

TheExtractorFactor Half way through the year Ross Lying said he was the best player in the league.

EFA back at yas

Now i KNOW you been into my stash of OP Bundy real hard

Looking on twitter source appears to be a pies supporter - Paige Cardona, who is involved with U18s footy. Says it came direct from a Pies player.

Paige Cardona @Paigeos_Hotpies
Dale Thomas is headed to Hawthorn, a huge deal has been put in front of him - the Hawks now looking to Billy Longer instead of Shae Mumford.

Paige Cardona @Paigeos_Hotpies
@Vandelay2010 Technically, yes. However - it was before Hawthorn tabled him a massive deal in the past 24 hours and Carlton have increased 2

Paige Cardona @Paigeos_Hotpies
Reports from a senior player at Collingwood that Dale Thomas has informed the playing group that he will not be at Collingwood in 2014.

Got to love some of our supporters. I bet the ones screaming 'noooo' are the same supporters that didn't want Lake either, or Hale before that, or Gibson before that, or Burgoyne before that.

How could you be against adding an A grade 25 year old midfielder, with pace to our team. I have said all along if we can add a ruck-man and Thomas, we will come out of this week stronger.

Actually i loved Lake, Hale and Burgers - Gibson's showpony attitude was the only thing i didn't like but his actions on game day make up for it

 

[Wundo]

He probably likes winning Premierships. Or maybe he just likes vertical stripes. Regardless, he'd be a handy pick up to get some more pace and flair into our mid-field. I think a lot around here under-rate him. Provided his ankles will be okay, he'd be a great get for us along with Longer.

This - very slimming those vertical stripes.

 

[Tomohawks]

Runs hard and goes hard. Anyone says his soft is seduced by the Daisy nickname or his ability to show some flair on occassion....or just their hatred of the Pies.

Dale Thomas is not a soft footballer.[/quote

Roger that my friend, anyone who says that he is soft has not watched much footy over the past 3 years. If his ankle is right he is just what we need and apparently his ankle has been given the all clear by 3 independent doctors. Make it happen Hawks!

 

[PenAndPaper]

Who cares what he costs?
Can he help us go back to back?
That is all I want to know.

We are a team, I would be happy going into this season without signing a big name replacement for Buddy. I don't think he will add much, if anything, to our efforts to go back to back.

 

[Badesumofu]

It all sort of fits. Buddy announces that he's going to Sydney, so GWS go after Mummy with a big money deal. That means we can't get Mummy now, so we make Thomas a big money deal, with the intent to get Longer for a more modest price.

I prefer Taylor Adams by a mile if he is still looking to move otherwise back the depth we have and raid Sydney next year when they cannot afford to keep one of there stars or up and comers,we don't have to waste our money when we already have up and coming players that i am sure will fill the void.I would prefer to give Sav or Jed a chance to cement themselves.

Yep, agree totally. And good to hear that his ankle has been cleared. Happy for us to go hard for him in that case. Prefer Longer to Mummy anyway, and even more so if it means we also get Daisy.

 

[#always15]

If he can sort out his ankles then he will be a very good get to the midfield, was fantastic in both 2010/11. Hopefully Longer and Adams follows.

 

[nd1992]

Great pickup, hopefully we fix his ankle up and be becomes a great premiership player for us . Does anybody know if we still get our pick 18-20 from Free Agency as I cant see how this will cancel Buddy out.

 

[bris tarangau]

Soft and not worth 650. People comparing him to Burgers when he joined us with questionable knees need to take their 'blonde' glasses off. Cannot imagine Thomas doing what Burgers did in the PF to Geelong in a million years.

Because A. He is a peaheart softcawk and B. He hasn't put a string of games together in the last 2 years.

 

[seysearles]

I think we all would tbh but we would need to trade out for him. Would you be willing to offload Savage or similar and first rounder for him? Thomas is a freebie (albeit the FA comp pick would be cancelled out).

You have to give up a lot to get Adams. Thomas is a free agent.

Thomas will help us win the premiership in 2014, more then what Jed and Sav will. Thomas is an AA, premiership player. Jed and Sav may never come on, Thomas is a proven A grade midfielder. Don't forget we also have to pay 95% of our cap, we now have a 10% whole now that Buddy has left.

Try harder.. anything is possible!

 

[Hodginator]

Hope this isn't true. The only good thing about it would be that he replaces Ellis as my whipping boy. I'd rather not have one though.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

It isn't true.

Will be locked to Carlton

 

[Flamin Joe]

"He was awesome in 2011! blah blah blah". That's nice. It's 2013, you know 2 almost 3 years later.

 

[TurboBreuster]

Please Thomas... go to the Blues to be with 'Daddy' Malthouse!

 

[dipper86]

Stand By.....

Are you related to Big Moose ?

 

[spudmaster]

What a consolation prize that'd be...almost akin to watching all your mates hook up with hot chicks whilst at a bucks party while you end up in bed with your sister

He won't. Let it go, he can enjoy Carlton.

And Ellis is a premiership player, but he's not going to help us win a flag either.
