I do not agree, because they way he left Geelong.
It appears he was not honest about his intension's; especially espousing the loyalty card all year to the players and then quits.

don't agree at all - Thompson lied and obviously played on the whole "i'm too tired" sympathy vote to get to his ideal place - he broke contract, then went to an opponent.
Pretty much did the coaching equal of a "Mal Michael"

He could have handled it better by saying "ok I shouldn't have said those things, I'll cop my wack and head to Windy Hill". He didn't. He's a w***er.

So in a few years time if Hird fails and the Bombers knock on Hardwicks door, you'll have no problem in him picking up and walking out despite being contracted.For having the human decency and integrity to hear the call to arms and go back to his roots in recognition for who made him what he is.

Could have gone away with alot more class if he'd just said he wanted to go to the Bombers.
No real respect for people who lie like that and then turn up at another club. Stinks of Mal Michael.

Not after how he got stuck into Ablett in the media about loyalty this year saying he will see out his contract with Geelong next year then walks away.
Hypocrite of the highest order.

Applauded? He should be roundly booed.
Also, not too sure how this is relevant to our board? Can someone enlighten me?

I'll leave it for now Bo, but the last thing this board needs is another Richmond-Essendon shitfight and if it degenerates into that, I'll close it.

If we had a coach, successful or not, who up and walked while still contracted to go back to their original club, like Bomber did I find it highly unlikely that any of us would be patting them on the back.
Now if said coach was honest and upfront with the club and said, 'Look I've had a good run, we've had some success but I think its time I moved on.' Then I could pat them on the back and say good luck with your new venture, but this whole Thompson thing stinks, especially when you throw in all the loyalty crap that he spewed while Gary was making up his mind.

LMAO.
What a crock of self reflective garbage.
This rat bagged on Garry jnr most of the year for his supposed lack of honesty, yet miraculously he does the same thing, only more cowardly.
Not once did he come out and show respect to the gfc.
Quite the oppsite actually.
Speaking in past tense at a presentation nite doesn't equate to a resignation.
Lying and pretending to be burnt out and then turning up at windy hill in nov of the same year speaks volumes.
Bojangles-u have a lot to say about other posters.
Listen now.
I feel sorry for u if u think it's commendable to be a lagging, lying rat and clearly u do.
Next time u get on ur faux moral soapbox remember- ur pathetic.
What about former players returning in this era.
Grow up dooschebag.
Man this guy is over-rated, my dog could've coached Geelong to 2 premierships with their playing group, whenever Geelong's gameplan was challenged they had no answer to counter it. Unlucky to the Bombers I say, now they have atleast 2 incompetent coaches.
Equus
????????????
Finally, they have a head coach...

listen ****head, I'll thank you to paraphrase precisely what i was applauding him for, that was returning to his roots unless I'm otherwise mistaken, but hey, feel free to make it up as you go to suit your own twisted agenda
