Bookmark it people... Being kept very quiet ATM but you can already see a bit of stroking happening on Foxtel when commentating...

Well that's me convinced.

 

[Harry Hawks]

Wot...

 

[Abomination]

Why would you replace Buckley? He'll have them top 4 next year, the amount of young talent in their list just needs another pre-season or two under their belts.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Stroking is right.

 

[Milanista28]

Are you basing this on how you perceive his commentating?

OH MY WOW!

 

[the PILL]

Apparently after Red for Ed and 6 losses in a row its a thing... pisses me right off as the pies will be automaticly contending...

So your source for this rumour is judging polite body language from Foxtel commentators? Don't they act this way for afl sports audiences to make good television viewing ?

Think Eddie would prefer to give Bucks a golden shower

Gutter mind at its finest.

What is it with Essendon fans and delusion?

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

tell him his dreamin

Pretty sure the stroking ratings have hit all time highs whenever Albert has spoken.

This has coincided with an all time high of 88% limpness in the following minutes.

 

[Unknown Identity]

Bomber Thompson touched his right shoulder with his left index finger, then rubbed his left ear lobe between the thumb and forefingers..

Clearly communicating to the public that he will be coaching Collingwood next year.

Illuminati confirmed.

I thought I was the only one that noticed that

 

[Warsaw Winder]

0% of that happening. If WADA find essendon guilty, you'd think Bomber would be facing some kind of ban from the sport.

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

Well he and Swan share a common recreational interest. Beams and Wellingham have left now though so not as many players will be on the same page as a couple of years ago which could hurt his chances

Well you have shot down my theory.

GW on AFL360 Wednesday night said Bomber was in W/Australia, which to me was CODE for he is Adelaide to sign up for the crows job.

Now I just don't know what to believe

Or, he'll have them top four by the start of June, then win * all from there........

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I'm not comfortably satisfied that this will happen.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Dont think that's happening.

Thompson said he wouldn’t work in the AFL again and he still carried the pain of the saga.

“I still think about football a lot, it’s my passion, I’m not going to do anything else in a major scale,” he said.

“I’m going to still do footy, but it won’t be in the AFL. I might just do some charity work, do some academy stuff.”

Dont think that's happening.

He says a lot of things all the time and flips... You should know this B4L

Look I'm not happy about it but you could see it immediately impacting the Pies if true...

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

From "bookmark it" in the Op, to "if true" in less than a page.

Omg. That's a good one!!

I actually think that a lot of what Collingwood are doing right now is pretty good. Running out games, applying a lot of pressure. Just not winning.

I can't actually see them sacking Bucks for this years effort, Things seem to be going in the right direction.

Is it at all possible that Bomber could find himself being offered an advisory/assistant/mentoring role somewheres instead of a coaching gig?
