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.

      Recent meetings between Melbourne and Carlton have developed a striking and somewhat familiar narrative, underscored by a series of closely contested encounters ultimately decided by narrow margins. The Blues have won out on each of the past four occasions:-

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
