Carlton chasing Thompson

[dave_27]

LOL going from senior assistant coach at Essendon to head coach of a broke, basket case club in Carlton is a gigantic step down.

One of the more amusing rumours on here.

 

[fishardansin]

I've heard this rumour from a source connected to some high up at Carlton.

They are definitely into him. This doesn't mean he'll go.

He left Geelong because of personal issues that driving 3hrs a day on top of a 60 hour coaches week meant he was incapable of dealing with them. After two years he's probably sorted them out. The source I have pointed out that he said he loved being 2nd banana for a while but now he doesn't.

I have no idea how correct this stuff is Im just passing it on.

 

[Verbeek]

Still no idea.

Was he a former player or something?

Hi, welcome to football. I hope you enjoy our beautiful game.

Expand/Explain? I heard that he was living across the road from a bloke I used to run into at BBQs (in a G suburb) and also owned an apartment in Geelong city (which suffered minor vandalism when he left)??

Pretty sure he didn't make the commute for 10+ years...

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Carlton will approach him, theres nothing shocking about that. As soon as they started dropping off this year it was reported they'd be into him, Malthouse and Roos. It was mentioned on every footy tv show, not sure why it's suddenly meant to be news now??

There's less than zero chance he'll go there.

lol could you imagine hahahaha

 

[RearNaked]

wait ur serious ?

Bomber may not have a role at EFC in 2013.

 

[Kettles]

He won't go. He despises Carlton as much as the rest of us.

You obviously know nothing. He was a Carlton supporter when his nickname was Bomba. So, tell me, what exactly did you base your opinion upon?

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Bomber may not have a role at EFC in 2013.

Based on what?

 

[Ben the Gooner]

The word on the street in HK.

 

[HurlsMeister18]

Hopefully he takes The Weapon with him if he goes.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

One of, what, 3 games where we haven't actually had a soft tissue injury in the first half, and people are still after the Weapon?

Sheesh.

Sheesh.

They think they should have been fit enough to over run Norf.

They were.

They just weren't smart enough.

 

[kfc1]

haha, i needed a good laugh, thanks guys

 

[iRemember87]

he left the greatest list since ours in 2000 citing burnout and lack of motivation, now 3 years later he wants one of the most poisonous coaching jobs in the land?

Brisbane of 2001-2003???

 

[ZAAHAARAKIS!!!!!]

Brisbane of 2001-2003???

yeah, i'll pay that. but if thats the biggest problem with my post I'll be over the moon.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

He almost laughed it off on 360. Says he doesn't want to coach again in the senior capacity. I guess you could say he said he wasn't going to coach Essendon too, however I was pretty convinced with what I just saw.

 

[Burzum]

Why would he take it? He gets paid better than most head coaches doing a role that requires less of him, which reinvigorated his love of coaching.

 

[emblurr]

His job isn't done at Essendon. Not until we have another premiership.

 

[DaSawx]

Put it to bed.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Doesn't want to coach.

End of story.
