I love the segment each week. Have to admit when Bomber started at the cats I had my doubts but listening to him over the year has been an eye opener.

I hope the players watch it each week as it must give them confidence we are on the right track.

I like that being dropped isn't the end of the world.

Because it isn't - but it has been treated as such for a while now, especially with our kids.

It isn't a lack of faith, it's a lack of form.

Considering that he made over $10 million in a land deal a few years ago, and half owns a thriving electrician business with his brother, wouldn't affect his decision one iota.

Don't think he did make that sort of money.

In fact, those were the projections but it all fell through.

Costa and co. set him up well. Think you will find he came across cheap industrial land around Geelong's outskirts for 3-400,000 and sold it off for multi millions. I think angrydee is on the money.

I know all about the situation, and it didn't pan out.

They all got a hell of a lot less than they banked on getting.

Well short, and their money was tied up in a white elephant.

Even if Bomba didn't want to, he needed to go back to coaching to keep the cash flowing in.

Bomba will be going nowhere.

I just watched "The Hanger" of Fox Footy and the segment focused heavily on Thompson and his coaching philosophies.

He is so emotionally attached to the EFC I'd be very surprised to see him leave. He spoke of his wife's disappointment that he was returning to head coaching duties but was ultimately comfortable that it would be for just the one year. Said he wanted to be more involved with his other businesses and be a better husband and that the assistant role was allowing that.

If he came to MFC his wife would divorce him.

Odd.

That's not what his brother says,

You are completely full of it and know Fark all .

He is a multi due to the deal.

Have you seen how developed Geelong is now.

Do you even know where the land in question is?

Of course I do.

It was the area for the shopping centre at Armstrong Creek.

Do you?

He probably still has money, but that deal was not a good one for any of them.

Nothing close to what they banked on.

Close to $10 mill from a 400k outlay.

He must be devastated.

Where can i get myself a terrible investment like that? and 400k to invest in the first place would also be helpful

Like I said, it didn't pan out like that.

And he only had a $400k share of the land.

I think Corcoran and another Essendon crony was involved, and a bloke from Richmond.

Forget the names.

Dodoro. And Mark Casey. Essendon Coterie member.

Not Richmond, must have been thinking Clinton Casey.

Reckon it was a downpayment for his Essendon assistant job?

Not sure how you pay $400k and get a quarter share of a property they purchased for $3.8mil

Bomba wont coach beyond this year. he likes his new lifestyle too much. Young new wife, lives in port melb and everything that comes with the area!!!

on the other hand he's admitted he's enjoying coaching, has Roosy in his ear every week, who couldn't use the pay packet we'd offer him.. optimistic?

Lost your tongue on this one?

Anyway, how is the shopping centre going down at Armstrong Creek?

You even been there? It's desolate.

The area is swampland (hence no one having built there previously) and it will cost more than originally thought to build there.

Special piling systems required, you see.

No return on that land coming any time soon.

You may be right GT, but to my reckoning he's aged incredibly poorly since coming back to the bombers. Looks 10 yrs older already.

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int

    POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood

    The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025.
