Scandal Mark Bomber Thompson Raided By Vic Police (Update pg 66: Charged with possession and trafficking)

[Proper Gander]

Based on the little I have seen presented, he is very, very, very close to it.

He's also not in the country so that may makes arresting him problematic.

There's already two to three solid elements in place to lay charges and if charges are laid then he is off to the remand centre.

Are we sure he’s not back? There is someone in his house anyway. The chain is off the doors and an upstairs window was open last week.

According to news reports he is still OS. As for the house, it is most likely vacated.

 

[footy4ever]

Shame on me for thinking all those years he was a total w***er every time he opened his mouth. Appears to be a reason for it now.

I wouldn't believe everything the news man said nor the piano man .

I have a feeling if this were a player/current coach/administrator and not an old mate from the media boys club the reaction would be a little less sympathetic.

Find it a bit hard to believe with all the rumours floating over Thompson's head no one in that bubble was at all suspicious. Well protected until the law finally caught up with him.

I had been told that Bomber turned up to an official Essendon function under the influence of something, which was the final straw and is what led Essendon to be rid of him. I think the club had definitely become aware.

I thought I read he was back.

You know when you see someone lie to other people for years, and you know exactly what it looks like when they're bullshitting.

Then one day, they do it to you. And you know they're lying, because you've seen it a thousand times before?


Thompson bullshitting about this arrest thing when it happened, reminds me of the many times he looked down the camera (so to speak) and denied anything wrong was done at Essendon during their drug saga.

 

[Tulip]

Looking back, its a clear giveaway that a coach as qualified as him wasn't given the job permanently. Immensely disappointing to hear he's on the ice, even worse that he's dealing MD and that 'the bikie who moved in and won't leave' actually had a paid rental agreement. Stop lying, Bomber.

So that's why he was pissed off when Geelong players shook hands with the Brisbane players following the 2004 PF loss?

You actually believed that 'oh he just moved in' horseshit? I reckon a ten-year old with about four seconds could make up a better excuse. So bad it was almost respectable how little he cared about making up something half-believable.

These rumours have been around for years but the interesting thing is when you hear three or four versions, usually one or none are correct... the meth, the MDMA, the cocaine, and then the rooting around?

Essendon breed a very special type of personality. A scary mix of being dumb, arrogant, and with too much money. And for having lives that begin and end in Melbourne and football.

 

[Darkyprotector]

He knows too much

Has shown a problem with discipline

Hence the raid , hence the charges
Totally discredited now

Damn shame
Wanted to hear about the weapon and dank at the cats and some truth for a change about the dons

Lot more to know

Maybe ask the gordons

or Geelong

How can you still be doing Ice and MD at 50
The comedowns must be shit, although I guess heroin was on the cards

How’s that?

His issues are reminiscent of Gary Ablett, who is hailed as a god in Geelong.

Or maybe your post is just stupid?

Gary Ablett is a flog, but so too is Bradman and Whitten.

Well yeah, but I imagine everybody is a flog in your book.

Bomber is dumb? What a naive thing to say. He’s clearly anything but, just ask any number of people who’ve worked with him. He has flaws of course, as do all people.

 

[DERO]

Throw a blanket over the comp.

Would you like me to start with Hawthorn football club first? You know, just to help you relate better...

E

That, or he was simply always a campaigner.

Why are you so keen to talk about Hawthorn as some sort of point scoring, when I’ve already said “throw a blanket over the comp”.

 

[CheapCharlie]

It sure is fun to kick someone while they're down right? A club like Carlton who are still paying for the mistakes of John Elliot, yeah that's fun to ridicule. But Thompson is a human being who may or may not have some issues. I dont know him or what he has done but he deserves a piece of quiet to sort out his life.

We all have digs at the media being vultures... But they're seagulls compared to the nasty, vitriolic birds of forums and social media. That is to say, you and I.


Man needs some space.

Give him a wide birth when he's on the pipe

 

[Wesley2]

Amazing he was released without being charged

I was just trying to help you relate! Don’t be so touchy.

 

[Gavstar]

Yeah, I know, which in and of itself can be explained, but if a print also shows up, or his DNA is the only DNA on those packages, and the other blokes are pleading not guilty, then he is in more shit than a Werribee duck.

There would be an absolute minimum of 5 years jail time on these charges.

Wouldn't most things in his house be contaminated with his DNA? You shed more than 1/2 a kilo of skin per year. They would need to show the DNA was in a spot free from contamination, pretty fancy analysis needed. Fingerprints would be way more conclusive.

If I was crim standing over you the first thing I want you to do was spit in a plastic jar so I could contaminate anything I wanted to with your DNA.

DNAase people.... you can buy it!
