Thompson is up to his neck in the drugs saga. Should be banned from the game too.

Love him and his WGAF attitude. I wish there were more people like him in Australian society instead of the generation of softcocks that are emerging
Once they're done with Essendon the Collingwood and Geelong taps will find the light of day
All three clubs (plus Bomber and Chappy) are up shit creek without the proverbial paddle

Cmon
I see your simple life ban and raise you a "Hirds sons should be ineligible for F/S and not be allowed to play AFL"

I can't confirm but I'm fairly sure Bomber got paid this season too.
Also I think for the previous three years he was an "assistant coach" who got paid far more than 95% of senior coaches.
Anyway who cares. Hes out of the AFL system and they have no power to enforce it. He along with the rest of them involved in that high farce at AFL House last year was clearly bullied and railroaded into accepting a penalty without a hearing, so I'm sure he doesn't find it difficult morally to not pay. I wouldn't pay either.

Bomber actually did something to earn his money this year.
That was the price Essendon had to pay to get him, it has no bearing on the point I made.
LOL.

Probably because he was actually the real coach for those three years, the other guy was just there to sell memberships and implement a doping program.

....but I am fairly certain that I read in the press that "the players havent done anything wrong"
It's in the papers
Bomber:"Now look Hirdie, mate you need to actually speak with the players, you need to talk to them and tell them how you want them to play. They cant read your mind mate. RIght here in my right hand I have the secret Geelong game plan scroll. I am not giving it to you mate. You need to come up with a game plan all by yourself and describe it to them. It's been two ****ing years now, It's about time you let them know what the **** you want them to do, Carlisle doesn't know if he is coming or going. ****ing hell Hirdie I wont be here forever"
James Hardie: "What do you mean by game plan"?

Sounds like Teach has it about right. That's sort of the case with most posters mind you -we each have our pet hates- its the guys who continually troll one club and only one club who are boring as batshit, but I think you do need to troll the same club in a variety of ways fairly often to really get under the skin of its' posters, assuming you're like me and regard that as a good thing.As Teach said, you have your spinning wheel deciding who you're going to troll that day, it's just heavily weighted in favour of Geelong and Essendon.
Oh and thanks for the rainbow, is that like a gold star on my report card?

Bomber was railroaded into "accepting" a fine without a hearing or even any specific charges. Thats why he's not paying it, and doesn't really give a toss

The reason Bomber, Hird and Essendon itself were "railroaded" into accepting their penalties was because it was in Essendon's best interests to do so.
Just as Demetriou did your club a massive favor by warning David Evans days before the ACC revelations, so was he protecting Essendon's own reputation by publicly watering the charge down to 'governance' from what it really was - Drug Cheating.
Admittedly the AFL's ulterior motive was to protect the reputation of the code itself, but what did Essendon care about that? It suited their purposes that the league wouldn't label them as drug cheats and this is why Little strong-armed Hird & Bomber into accepting their deals. Yes, it was Little doing the railroading not the AFL, you clueless freaking moron.
He was part of a coaching team and mentor to the coach when Essendon implemented the most systematic doping program in Australian sporting history.
What should he get?
An ANZAC day medal for bravery for saying to James "Um. I don't know that we should be doing this mate"?
