Winning a flag isn't everything...
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you Exhibit A:
Mark "Bomber" Thompson.
I will not kick a bloke while he is down but this is tragic.

Was this not the second raid at his premises?
After the first, would you not hire Bio-Hazard cleaners and remove every single trace of anything illicit in your house - and then STOP the behaviour which incited the first raid?
His actions can bee too easily compared to the guy on Highway Patrol, who when busted for driving without a license, then asks the cop to follow him while he parks the car around the corner.

Re: Winning a flag isn't everything...
One of the best posts I’ve seen in recent times. I’m a Sainter for lots of reasons, I came to support this club not because of their “Flag winning potential”, but for other, deeper reasons. It was a choice I made. I’m prepared to live with wherever that choice takes me. I can’t imagine what made Mark Thompson end up where he’s ended up, but it is an awful situation.

Re: Winning a flag isn't everything...
Absolutely spot on, SD., but we are talking about a drug addled, depressed and traumatised man. You're thinking like a rational, intelligent, and practical adult. Most crooks come undone because they make mistakes. That, or because they're really dumb. Bomber is in the former category. I hope he makes it back. He clearly fell under the spell of the shitmen bikies. They are the lowest form of life. Single cell organisms.Sainter_Dad wrote:No it is not everything ......

Bomber is obviously a very troubled man and you will well know extracting ones self from the grasp of these shitmen is not an easy task.
Still I have no sympathy for anyone caught up in drug trafficking (as he has been charged) and if guilty I hope he cops the maximum sentence.
He is a wealthy man and to prosper from the misery of others in unforgivable.

Re: Winning a flag isn't everything...
The biggest tragedy for me is what's at the other end of his (alleged) drug peddling.
I wish Bomber all the best when it comes to his mental health, but if he is found guilty, I hope he is portrayed in the same light as every other drug trafficker that flashes up on our screens.

The guy is a drug addict. has been since his Geelong days if you believe people who know him
Even worse he is a dope dealer, so f*** him.
Easier to understand now why he had bikie thugs living in his units.
At Essendon it wasn't only the players on illegal substances.
Hope he gets 5 to 10 as a warning to other f**knuckle drug dealers.

How dodgy did Fish Lips look when he was onAFL360?
I’m surprised they employed him. Clearly something was up. You could tell fro his eyes and body language.

Not interested in Bomber sob stories well known he's been on the gear a long time has access to every resource known to man to change but his arrogance I suspect told him he didn't need to
Just another footballer we put on a pedestal cause they played our game at the highest - doesn't mean they can't be Sh!t people

Re: Winning a flag isn't everything...
He is also a millionaire many times over from his property deals so I haven't a clue what motivates him apart from getting his next fix.
What an arsehole.

Re: Winning a flag isn't everything...
Looks like he was dealing.
You reap what you sow. Sorry, he's peddling in misery. Drug dealers and elephant hunters are not right in the head.
And I was born into this football club without a choice.
Don't tell me flags are not everything. I'd like to be able to judge.

Re: Winning a flag isn't everything...
BS. Its all about the flags and glory! Until the death! Whatever it takes!
In all seriousness, footy clubs at any level aren't just about winning premierships. Its much more than that. I don't need to explain it.
AFL is still just a sport and a multi million dollar one at that. I get thats its serious business but never ride your life off the back of the Saints or any footy club for that matter. Supporters need to enjoy the release and enjoyment footy brings from the real world. Its even more fun when your team is going well though. I get pissed off when Saints supporters get personal and unfairly rip into players on a disgusting level due to the above. No sport can be that serious.
Bomber Thimpson also needs to do some time in the big house. He is a filthy crook. Plain and simple. His activities helped kill kids and other people through drugs.
