Ah at last, something to take the spotlight off the Melbourne player being investigated for assault. Time to open a bottle!

    Only one small throw away line at the end linking him to Geelong, the rest of the article refers to his time at Essendon. Love it.

    My better side would be hoping that not only football identities pay the price of indiscretions that slug you in the mouth, in life, from time to time. Bigger fish have been hanging around Footy Clubs that i know of since the sixties. They need to go down as well. They cost and flavoured a lot of good people.

    Most likely about his multi million dollar investment or personal drug use.

    I really hate the way the media associate this with the whole Essendon saga.

    You could well be right Js5.  The Age article http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/mark-bomber-thompsons-port-melbourne-house-raided-20180108-h0f5th.html says the raids were conducted by the Geelong and Southern Metro Divisional Response Units. 

    Re the multimillion dollar deal,  The HS article in the 'biggestred' post says 'Last March Thompson pocketed $7 million after selling his stake in a farming property at Armstrong Creek' which is near Geelong.  

    The Age article goes on to say 'Divisional Response Units investigate property crimes and illegal drug activity (including cultivate, manufacture and traffic), according to Victoria Police'.  

    People can form their own theories but that line is certainly a leading piece of info.

    I've only half-read one article, but it seemed to me the house in question may not be one that Bomber lives in. The article seemed to very carefully refer to the place as being owned but not necessarily lived in by Thompson, yet written in a way that might allow someone to infer that Bomber is the target without actually saying that was the case.  If that's right, the raid may have nothing to do with him but rather with the tenant.

    The thing I find interesting is that I haven’t seen this thread for many months but now that I have I find my dislike for Essendon is as strong as ever.

    It does stick in the back of the mind...taking the reckless advantage option too far for most peoples' liking. Good indicators have been the movement of previous Essendon players to other clubs.

    Reported that the raid was in connection to a recent drug bust in Geelong where three people were arrested.

    Property Crimes in Policing parlance is the crime linked to drug activities such as break and enters, stolen property etc.  Any dodgy land dealings would normally be handled by the Fraud Squad.

    Their transformation during 2007 was almost overnight. 

    The demolition of Richmond that year was something i will never forget. 

    But if stimulants were involved, we will never know now...it’s too long ago

    Lucky Bomber didn’t go to the Gold Coast as coach. He might have become bigger than Travers ‘Candyman’ Benyon. K Hunt might have also felt resentful as someone  else was muscling in on his patch.

    And what about the property deal where he and Dodoro pocketed 15 mil between them off land that their mate Justin Madden rezoned?

    How convenient.

    As Planning Minister, Madden oversaw development deals done by Paul Salmon as well

    Balls. They would have beaten Sydney in the 2005 SF but for the Nick Davis show.  Maybe they were dodgy in 2007+,  maybe not, but to say it was an overnight thing is to rewrite history.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
