Lindsay Thomas

North Melbourne’s fourth-round selection in the 2006 National Draft, Thomas was seen as one of the best pick-ups that year after his impressive first season in 2007. The former Port Adelaide Magpie burst onto the scene, kicking four goals in his first pre-season game for the Kangaroos and went on to play 12 games for the year.

The exciting small forward combined with Matt Campbell in attack and helped bring about a new structure to the North Melbourne forward line.

With the ability to turn a game on its head, Thomas looms as one of the competitions most damaging goal-sneaks and can apply defensive pressure when the ball is not in his possession.

Draft history: 2006 NAB AFL Draft 4th round selection (Kangaroos) No. 53 overall. First game for North Melbourne: Round 1, 2007 v Collingwood.
