Season highlights

Semi Final v Geelong, first quarter

Thomas was unstoppable early as North worked its way to what would end up being a crucial lead. Three goals within the first 10 minutes of the game played a big part in a 30-point lead nearing quarter time.

Season in review

Thomas cemented his standing as one of the best small forwards in the AFL with another prolific season in front of goals.

Not only did the left-footer average almost two goals a game, he led the club in goal assists with 23 – a career-high.

The 23 games Thomas played for the year also equalled his season-high, set back in 2008. The only two matches he missed were in Round 12 against Richmond and Round 23 against Melbourne.

The forward was often a lone shining light in losses. He kicked four goals in a game on four occasions, with three of them coming in a defeat.

Thomas’ first goal in 2015 will take him to the 250 mark, a feat only 16 other Kangaroos have achieved in the club’s history.

"Obviously I was only a kid back in 2008 and I was pretty immature back in 2012. Since then, I feel as though I've matured as a player and as a person.”
