Did you even read the thread? Time and time we state we don't think he's in our top 10. I don't think he's in our top 15 to be honest.
We get excited about our young prospects but look at your club. Dustin Martin is already a savior and his first game isn't until tomorrow night. But that's fine. Clubs needs to be excited about their new talent otherwise what's the point?!
This is true, but the exposure Thomas has achieved in his career is borderline ridiculous. To me it's like the media are so sure that he 'will' someday be a star of the game, they keep blowing his tyres up... and of course the gullible Gen Y gobble it up with a spoon.
Thomas needs to be amongst the top 10 in the LEAGUE in 2010 to start justifying his exposure. We all know this will never happen so I'm hoping to see less of his adolescent, homosexual looking image everywhere in the future.
I feel for Pendlebury and Swan. Genuine good players who get no exposure because of this little brat. Like others have said, just because something is marketed well, doesn't mean it's a good thing. Thomas as accomplished nothing to suggest he's anything but a sub-standard AFL player as yet.
