About Dale Thomas (footballer)

Dale Robert Jordan “Daisy” Thomas is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Collingwood Football Club and Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). Thomas was a priority pick in 2005, where he then played with the Collingwood Football Club from 2006 to 2013 before transferring to Carlton in 2014. Regardless, Drouin won by ten goals, and Dale's behind was Tooradin's only score. Dale Thomas was selected by Collingwood with their first pick in the 2005 AFL draft (the second pick overall). Thomas played his first junior football at age eight, later moving on to play with the Hallora under-12s. According to his father, during his first stint as captain of the under-14 Drouin team, he won the toss but forgot which direction he had chosen and kicked a behind for Tooradin, the opposing team.
