The Mark "Bomber" Thompson Thread

why would they want to stop something they've been planning for years, this is how Collingwood roll.. They pretend they want to keep a good player, then force an over priced deal through... They will get more than pick 4 for Beams when he's hardly setting the world on fire on field, I can't remember the last time he actually played a decent match? Did he even play this year... They act like their losing Gary Ablett, when he's not even close to Ablett... Pfft...

    Bomber Thompson brought Dean Robinson and hence Dank to the Essendon Football Club.

    Thompson has got away with this. $30,000 is nothing.

    We have written evidence that Hird said in an email that "as long as everything is above board...etc..."

    Mark Thompson was in phone conversations with Tim Watson for half a year while he was Geelong coach. Yet Wallace was condemned for agreeing to Sydney in the weeks before his departure from the Bulldogs. Wallace was open and up-front with his players and the club. Compare this to Thompson...but the footy world loves his presser humour and thinks he is a better coach than he actually is.

    You know what, how far have they actually come since Mathew Knights, remembering the money paid to 2 coaches, supplements, and imports like Goddard. They haven't progressed much at all.

    I feel sorry for Hird. Thompson brought those guys in. Even Goodwin is on record as wanting "the good stuff". These guys have been rewarded, yet Hird is forced to carry the can, and apparently is not allowed to defend himself in court.

    One rule of one, different for the rest.

    Hird also took some of the good stuff...

    And had an association with Charter for years.

    But I do agree old Bomba has somehow squeezed out of this besides the fine.

    Hird is NOT defending himself in court. He is simply challenging the legality of the ASADA investigation.

    This after he welcomed the investigation in to Essendon so it would prove his innocence.

    Words can not describe what I really think about this guy.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
