Re: Mark Thompson - Serious Drugs Charges
Am I reading too much into it or does it seem like the "2 random people living in his house" may have dobbed him in?

Re: Mark Thompson - Serious Drugs Charges
The million dollar questions. They are now saying that there obvious signs of unusual behavior and possible illicit drug usage even when he was the coach of Geelong. This got worse while he was the assistant coach at Essendon.
1) How did he get the Bombers senior job?
2) How did he keep his Foxtel gig?

Re: Mark Thompson - Serious Drugs Charges
Interesting the links with Thailand considering he was denied entry to the Marybyrnong Detention Centre late last year because of "the state he was in".
There have been rumours for years an a whole host of odd behaviors from Bomber which led his ex-teammates to worry about him but it really has come home to roost. I'd say he's going away for a while given current reports - trafficable quantities in a keypad operated room.

They were member of motorbike gangs and they tell police anything, it's a code of honour for them. I don't think that Bomber actually invited them to stay. I think they just turned up one night and told Thompson they were moving in. Kind of like a home invasion but they liked it so much they stayed.

Addicts aren't stupid, they are sick.
How did he get the Bombers job. A bit like Steven Bradbury the obstacles between him and it just fell away one by one until he sort of fell forward's into it. How does he keep his Foxtel gig? It's TV. Let's face it he's probably not the only one in the studio in an altered state of consciousness.

One of the guys arrested by the police had a parking ticket in his car received out the front of Thompson's Port Melbourne property which led them there.

Yeh for traffic inspectors! We clearly need loads more of them to win the war on drugs and war on parking passed the signed time limit, in suburban Melbourne but not regional centres like Bendigo.

TD, they may have turned up but he must know them. According to the article posted by DR above, there was drugs stashed all over the house.
I am sorry to say but I have no sympathy for this bloke. However, he needs help desperately.

Agree x 2.
People close to him have spoken many times about the supplements saga and it's effect on him, comments like "I need to let it go but I just can't".

Just hope if he doesn't do time as he could be worse off mentally than he is now.

Re: Mark Thompson - Serious Drugs Charges
If he showed signs of drug usage prior to this, I'm not surprised. It's not unusual to be a high functioning addict.
