On his preseason form I would not have named Thomas. I would have brought him back through the NBs.
However, I was not consulted.

I guess there's pressure to get Daisy functional and contributing asap due to his cost to the club?

Nor me
I thought Thomas was in reasonable form but his kicking let him down. Bolton virtually guaranteed him a game so his selection is not really a surprise.
Charlie Curnow was an emergency last week and didn't play in the NBs. I will be very surprised if he doesn't play two weeks in a row so he'll either be in the 22 or dropped from the squad on Friday.
PS Thomas had 6 tackles against the Swans, equal with Gibbs and behind Ed Curnow with 8. Perhaps Bolts likes that aspect of his game.

Whatever folk think of thomas and his contract, he is an experienced player who is fit, knows how to find the ball, makes good decisions and works hard. He is a no brainer to come into the side after the suspension.
As earlier posts suggested, buckly needs to step up big time this year. He is in his fifth season now. For a small fellow he needs to develop some tricks pretty quick or he will be delisted at years end. Round 1 was not a good show for him and for a player of his type there are more replacement options than for a key forward or ruck.

I would tend to agree - but how nice is it to have this problem?
Pressure on spots in the team... seems like years.

Sorry but there is no point making good decisions if you can't execute them. Obviously you mustn't have watched his last game in the NAB Cup if you think he is a no brainer to come in. Maybe give him a go because he's on so much money and has shown he can play (albeit many moons back) but to say it's a no brainer?? Pffft.
