He deserves the respect one human gives another, but outside of that Carlton supporters owe him absolutely NOTHING.

Some criticism is fair enough but some is far fetched.
The only top footballer who has chosen to come to Carlton in the last 10 years has been Sam Docherty, given that very few Carlton supporters regard Thomas as a top footballer.
During that time Jacobs, Waite, Grigg, Betts, Henderson and Tuohy have walked and Gibbs has tried to.
But the reason we can't attract a Dangerfield or Franklin to the club is down to the size Dale Thomas' contract?
Really?
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.
