You know when you see someone lie to other people for years, and you know exactly what it looks like when they're bullshitting.

Then one day, they do it to you. And you know they're lying, because you've seen it a thousand times before?


Thompson bullshitting about this arrest thing when it happened, reminds me of the many times he looked down the camera (so to speak) and denied anything wrong was done at Essendon during their drug saga.
Yep, this.

when he got fined the 50k or so from the AFL he never paid it. Sounds like he didn't have it.

people said the same stuff about Ben Cousins. Cuzzy is now broke and in serious debt to some very serious people. Money goes quickly through your fingers when are going on benders.
I hear what you are saying and I know that anyone could become involved in this stuff.

From my perspective, I always really liked him on AFL 360 and thought he was one of the most insightful people in the AFL media. It's incredible to think that this was going on behind the scenes.

dunno seemed like he was acting like a bit of a knob on the tail end of his work on AFL 360.

Wonder if he gets bail or if le jacks decide to put him in the MRC for a few months in the hope he rolls over on whoever he knows who is capable of dishing out very large quantities of MD and other sundries.

The Xanax is an interesting one - that's a tell tale sign of serious ongoing meth use.

And the happiest person in the AFL ranks today is Ross Lyon!

Seriously though this is not a sweep it under the carpet scandal. Bomber could be doing serious jail time.

Pretty bloody sad state of affairs. If he’s guilty, throw the book at him. It really does raise questions about what went on at Essendon. He didn’t just discover these bikie links after his coaching career went south.

... unless you're doing rock-star quantities and living in expensive hotel rooms with a dozen hookers- or a hopeless, unemployable addict like Benny Boy- you're not spending millions.

Methinks Bomber invested the substantial amount of money he made from property in a substantial amount of drugs.

It really does raise questions about what went on at Essendon.
It really doesn't.

Honestly though Bomber must have earnt plenty of money over the years in the football industry. Why would he put his hand up to be a drug trafficker?
Not just that, it was reported he made millions (>$5m) on property deal at Armstrong’s Creek near Torquay. Couple of other football people were involved.
