Thomas after the week off really showed that that break really helped him get back his energy and when he has the energy he displayed last night against sydney he well and truely plays his best footy.

The key to getting the maximum out of Dale Thomas I think is giving him a rest every 3,4 or 5 weeks. This way he doesn't get fatigued as I think he has been a bit this season not really being able to play his best footy.

Daisy certainly needs another break just before the finals to rest him up.
This also means that another player eg. Brett Macaffer who has been in our reserves side might get a chance to show that he can play footy at AFL level and just get a chance to play.

This would oviously be most preferable against a bottom side such as a West Coast, Freemantle or Melbourne but none the less an idea well worth considering.

Thoughts?
