With 21 goals, Thomas is well clear in the race for the Coleman Medal. His consistency has become a feature, with the number 12 booting at least three majors in each of the first five rounds.
“He’s the barometer for us down there (in attack).
“Not just his goal kicking…his pressure and the excitement he brings, he’s turned himself into a really good, consistent player.
“The boys are really enjoying the way he’s going about it.”

“There’s no reason he can’t continue it,” Wells added.
“He’s just got to stay level-headed as he is at the moment, and keep working hard. That’s the recipe for him, his work-rate.”
