Re Bomber one of the Stories doing the rounds is one of his mates has ties to the big bust in WA before Christmas. but he is not linked.

There's been stories about him on the gear for 20 odd years, some of them very well backed up.

funny that

even accounting for the fact Bennell's story is one we've heard over and over - talented footballer spends too much time partying, big deal

Thompson? waaaaaaaay more interesting.

Hmmm... do i accuse racism, or laziness on the part of journos, or maybe they're all just trying to keep the AFL happy RE favourite son Bomber?

I was just taking a look at the age online and bomber was on the front page but you had to go into afl to see the bennell stuff.

But his football media mates are very very quiet, not even sticking up for him.

Cultivate didn't seem to be used in any meaningful context though.

Just re-read, you're right. The police have left a foot in both camps

Last I heard the AFL integrity unit was waiting for the Vic Police to wrap up their investigation before proceeding

Which is exactly as it should be.
If it is in the hands of the police the AFL has no business investigating, making statements (except neutral ones), or considering "consequences".

 

[1970crow]

He's probably a small part of a very big deal. To say he knows nothing would be wrong but he may not know the scale of the operation

My guess would be that his supplier has asked for a bit of a favour in terms of the use of his pad, and Bomber, knowing full well what game these blokes are in, has said yes.

Have we noticed none of the footy media are touching Thompson's troubles yet are all over Bennell

Easy - most of the top footy editors or controllers are Essendon Coterie members.

 

[NikkiNoo]

Well...

 

[arrowman]

Well...

(Googles "Mark Thompson age"...)

Oh dear.

Oh dear.

Not too much of a surprise considering the rumours about his interest in certain chemicals over the years.

There gos their supply line.
They are probably all spewing behing closed doors.

2007 was fine

Too many people know too much.
One way or another, the truth about the bombres drug scandal will get out.
Its going to be very ugly.

that was suggested years ago

Have said for ages Bomber always looks off his guts on 360.

Be interesting to see the scale though.

We are spoilt for choice in SA. I keep telling everyone outside SA that we are really the wine capital of the world.

On the Shiraz v Syrah... whilst they are the same grape variety, most Barossa made are called shiraz because of the more full bodied style... which is my preference.

In Clare, I prefer some other wineries. Paulettes Andreas (aged) is one of the top 5 wines I have tasted of all time & come from century old vines. Great views down to Polish River too.

Kevin Mitchell's pepper tree shiraz is always a consistent drop too & they have plenty of other interesting varieties too.

Clare is our best region to pick up a quality Riesling too, with so many choices.

Stick to your own thread

Suggested Bomber is connected with 2 bikkies who are in custody for this bust. What is actual involvement is, who knows, but you would think he knows them as a user.

Strange situation ......Bomber doesn't need money, he made millions from a property investment just last year ??

Yeah, he is loaded... but some rich people often get greedy... particularly if they have a drug habit.

AFL great Mark 'Bomber' Thompson arrested after 'drug trafficking' probe by police - as officers charge a man with 'bikie links who was living inside his Melbourne home'

This comment from Jimmy Bartel yesterday when no one knew what was going on


Jimmy knew. Jimmy needs a new supplier.

 

[Thetrader15]

Was it Craig McLachlan?

Gil looking after his brother?

 

[Thetrader15]

Was in the paper last week I think but gee the AFL have swept the alleged sexual assault by a Melbourne player under the carpet. No investigation, no consequences, no statements. Great message to be putting out there.

What assult?...look over there, that dog is eating an apple

Geez, they went cold turkey / detox fast
