After missing most of 2006 due to injury and the opening eight rounds of last season, Thornton was a regular in the Dockers' defence in the final 14 games of 2007. He won more of the ball than ever before and provided plenty of run for his side as he finished with the equal-most running bounces at Fremantle. Most weeks he was given jobs on one of the opposition's most damaging general forwards.
