- He bumped into a fan outside an elevator at Marvel Stadium
- Man had problems with his partner for choosing pants
- Thomas did what any good guy would do.
Dale ‘Daisy’ Thomas has done a lot in his life, he’s an AFL champion, a children’s book author and now he’s rescued a St Kilda fan from the wrath of his girlfriend by giving her his pants.
Former Carlton star and Collingwood champion and I’m a celebrity… Get me out of here! The contestant turned out to be in the right place at the right time for the lucky Saints fan at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night.
The man had traveled from Perth with his girlfriend to watch the Saints’ thrilling victory over the Gold Coast Suns, but his choice of outfit landed him in the doghouse – until Daisy arrived to save the day.
“I just got to Marvel Stadium and my guy is trying to get into the Medallion Club,” he said in a video filmed in a public bathroom at the stadium.
He’s really rocking his sweatpants, so let’s change pants. The people’s champion strikes again!’
Thomas saw the fan in an elevator and came to his rescue by exchanging pants with him.
The fan had arrived at Marvel Stadium wearing St Kilda track pants, which meant he could not access the Medallion Club.
Daisy explained why she swapped pants with the Saints fan later on the Triple M radio network.
“I traded some jeans for a pair of trakkie daks from St Kilda,” he said.
‘Because the young gentleman had come from Perth, I was about to get out of the lift and he was about to get into the lift, and his lady had asked him why he was wearing sweatpants when she told him he wasn’t. to.
“They were St Kilda (supporters) and they went to the Medallion Club, but they couldn’t because it didn’t have the right dress code.”
Thomas and the Saints fan exchanged numbers so they could catch up later and exchange pants again
The Medallion Club at Marvel Stadium is an exclusive membership program that offers premium seating and hospitality options for fans attending events at the stadium.
Members enjoy luxury amenities such as access to private dining rooms, bars and lounges, reserved seating with great views of the action, priority ticketing to major events, and exclusive networking opportunities.
But because the fan was wearing his team’s sweatpants, he was denied entry.
“So I said come with me mate, I’ll trade you my jeans for your St Kilda trakkie daks… I gave him my trousers,” Daisy said.
“I spent the rest of the night at his.”
In another act of generosity, Daisy gave the fan her phone number so the two could catch up for a story later and change pants again.
“Let’s catch up, he’ll buy me a beer and change my pants.”
