Why?He looks to have gotten back down to his playing weight.

Beat me to it!

 

[Ramify]

He’s the Suns coach right?

He could wear his 3 premiership medals, which I think is more than everyone else at the club combined, and tell them “my way is the pie way”

Fix it for you

Some guys never learn. Got into trouble at a nightclub and then no showed training.

If he had any brains, he would be paying for a permanent minder to keep him out of trouble.

Wonder what this is about

The word cultivate says stoner to me, it's usually manufacturing if powders or pills are involved.

Just an uneducated guess though [emoji41]

If he had any brains, he wouldn't be in the position to need a minder

Good point.

Perhaps Freo should insist someone minds him... otherwise you can see his career completely wipe out.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

At least Bennell has made it back onto the dance floor so he must be over those persistent calf injuries

 

[hey shorty]

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

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

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?

What a waste of talent.

Not sure he's going to get any more chances, he's done I would say.

On the news last night the point was made that Bomber was being swept up in something that had nothing to do with him. Don't know how the journo knows that.
Bennel...meh.

Of course, vic old boys club in effect.
Thompson could go to jail and would still be welcomed back into the system

Destination club.

yeah i found that strange. In his own house, yet he has nothing to do with it? Must be to do with someone else living there.






Where does Hirdy live these days?…just asking

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

 

[GameofSloanes]

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.

Last I heard the AFL integrity unit was waiting for the Vic Police to wrap up their investigation before proceeding.
The AFL has given the AFL integrity unit more powers recently and made them independent. Tony Keane runs the unit.
I don't believe we have heard the last of this.
