Funny how when a ex-coach does this, or a current coach pays off a woman, people are sympathetic.

But if the exact same situations were done by a player, everyone would be condemning them and attacking them on here and on Twitter.

Just shows once again that people resent anyone who makes far more money than you do in your bottom-feeder job.

Because we like Bomber. I suspect most of us empathize with Ross Lyon and see that he is a victim of an opportunist

Hope you enjoyed the bumbling mess you made of your 2013, 2014 and 2015 campaigns, as well as 2005 and even 1982.

...and those were the years you even did anything. I'm not even counting the bumbling mess your club had been for over thirty years and how you have missed more finals series than you made over the years. Your joke of a club is the last to say anything based on one lucky season.

One good season doesn't cover up the laughing stock your toothless Tigers have been for over three decades, and once you get a few injuries, you are dead in the water.

I think your officially our finals bunnies, go look at your finals record (all time) and you’ll see when it matters your club poos the bed when facing the RFC.

Similar to the hawks, you lot are so comfy racking up junk wins at that suburban ground, when it matters you fold like a deck of cards.

The most recent flags are tainted beyond belief....... oh dear!!

Anybody here up for cutting down a tall poppy? Seems like a lot of people around with an opinion but no knowledge on the subject. Nice. :thumbsu:

Please ....... if we knew half the facts and what really happened with this guys involvement at Geelong and Essendon there would be a royal commission.

To say everything he touched in AFL is tainted is a massive understatement.

Its interesting if Bombers coaching role at the Cats was under query all those years ago before the premierships not from a lack of success but a drug query. The big review of the cats where Bomber stayed as coach was that 2006 or 2005?

I guess if the proof of the drug links is made at a later stage Bomber has won in 2007 as a coach what is the AFL supposed to do, becomes a Lance Armstrong scenario I suppose and if this was the scenario stakeholders terrified of the fallout so let it slide?

Hird and other peoples reaction on the sofa/couch is amazing about the frozen water if they knew some truth in it and incredibly naive when things can come out like they have now!!

ok you clearly dont get the difference between performancing enhancing and rec drugs do you? nor the fact thompson was a coach and not a player and could take whatever he wanted anyway.

You live in a very weird world if you dont think that numerous players in your own team arent taking illegal drugs.

I don't know why you & other Geelong fans bother biting at this baseless shit. Just ignore it.

There's always going to be stupid people and you are going to die a very unhappy person if you dedicate your life to fighting every act of stupidity.

There's no evidence to support these claims, and that's the end of it. Pick better fights.

Like how you confine it to individuals ...... the context here is SYSTEMIC!!

This is the AFL’s biggest issue with what has occurred.

what are you talking about? thompson is an individual. There is no other links. If we found out the mooney and ling were also involved then you would have something. Although it would still just be rec drugs so actually no you wouldnt. And they are not involved.

Yet if it happened to a player, you would all have no sympathy because of his pay packet.

I imagine Mark Thompson when coaching was paid more then the average player was.

If Thompson is dealing, which seems likely he doesn't deserve sympathy.

The aspersions cast on here by the OP are dangerous, foolish and not suitable for bigfooty I'd suggest. But at the same time you can't say that anyone obviously isn't a drug user. Plenty of high functioning ones out there.

Personally I think Bomber is usually a bit fidgety on camera especially when he's not in a comfortable situation. Remember the footy show is different than AFL 360 and press conferences as there's also a large studio audience there.

And as he said he's been working 12 hour days most days (who knows what these coaches actually do). So not really a surprise if he's tired. Add in a runny nose that always makes you feel a bit lousy and that might be the answer.

Like at Essendon it all unravelled when a whistleblower lifted the lid ....... without evidence at Geelong the place is clear ...... UNTIL a whistle is blown?

I like many will wait ....... I hope not, but with the dubious nature of those involved clearly evident, I won’t be surprised if something materialises!!

We’re ‘getting flogged’ 4-6 in finals against Hawthorn. God they’ve got it all over us.

We’ve played you twice in the last 37 years and beat you by 15 goals in one of those matches.
