Ooooooh how I wish I could disagree with you on that soft spot....

Sadly...

Yes, best wishes to Scott and his partner on the new addition to the family.

I agree though with Dappa about the soft spot. I hope one day to be watching 22 Demon players collecting premiership medallions while Mr. Thompson is sitting with his backside on the MCG turf with head bowed in hands lamenting the fact that he ever went back to SA.

You won't if Beamer is collecting the NS medal!!

Good luck to Scotty.

Always had a soft spot for Thommo, and I still watch him closely (I enjoy watching Adelaide regardless).

Unlike a lot of Melbourne supporters, I don't begrudge him for going home. But yes, I will have a smile on my face if we beat Adelaide in a GF and Beamer wins the NSM ;)

Wish him all the best for the season and his new life as a dad.

harsh to the limit mate.. u cant force a bloke 2 stay at one place these days. thommo was very homesick and wanted to go, the MFC didn't didn't force him to stay but begged him and i remember reading an article thommo's mum was very ill and wanted to go home 2 be with her. i still support thommo and im glad he is doing well over there in adelaide

Let us not forget, Comrades, that he took his thirty pieces of silver and went back to live in West Horsham.

After he retires, perhaps he can work in the Mitsubishi Factory, and cruise around the streets of Elizabeth or Salisbury for fun in a 1988 Magna.

Good luck to them all. they will need it.

Biffinator.

You're right, Melbourne really should have played him more straight after he did his ankle...

I remember him doing that yes and i was guttered but he did show potentual before that game so ur saying that just because he was injured we got rid of him. He didnt leave cause we didnt play him when he had his ankle injury, he left cause we rairly played him overall.

Um.... No, actually.

He left because of family issues. WANTED to be back in SA.

Sorry mate but that's rubbish

he played 13 games in 03, missing the rest through 2 separate injury stints of 4 and 5 games - very reasonable for his 3rd year of footy, and in 04 he was firmly in the best 22, playing every game up until his big injury. After years of molding, he was just breaking the barrier and becoming a vital cog of our midfield and off he goes. Compare him to McLean, a young key midfielder who has already stated he will never leave the MFC - that's character.

Sickness in the family is obviously a serious matter, but I always thought there was a bit more to it given the persistence to which the club begged him to stay - to no avail.

Traitor. Big time.

Your post was spot on until the last sentence.

The club begged him to stay because they didn't want to lose him. Letting him walk out without a fight wasn't an option, no matter the circumstances.

But in the end the club did the right thing by accepting a good offer from Adelaide, and then using pick 12 to acquire Moloney.

Losing a good player is not ideal, but it's a real shame that the club's hard work in securing Thompson and our club an equally good trade is often tarnished by rubbish accusations.

mate read the post again and tell me where it bags the club.... no doubt they did extremely well to acquire Moloney, who is one of my favourites and has a big future, but this thread is about Thompson and whether or not he did us wrong. Your response doesn't convince me that he is NOT a traitor in any way, shape or form.

I wasn't talking about you in particular, but generally about people who claim Thompson left due to lack of game time.

Do you have any evidence that suggest he is actually a traitor?

mate I was the one REFUTING that he left due to lack of game time...

The evidence I have was clearly stated in my original post, obviously its a matter of opinion, i'm not sure what type of evidence you are looking for

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
