Raid on Mark ‘Bomber’ Thompson’s home part of drug trafficking investigation
• Patrick Bartley, Tammy Mills and Nino Bucci
A police raid on the Port Melbourne home of former Geelong premiership coach Mark ‘Bomber’ Thompson was part of an investigation into drug trafficking, sources say.
Detectives from Melbourne and Geelong searched his renovated warehouse at 9.30am on Friday, but Thompson was not arrested.
Sources say a number of people were arrested in Geelong on Thursday and Friday over allegations of drug trafficking. It is understood the charges related to various substances.
It is not clear how Thompson is allegedly connected to this investigation, and suggestions he was caught up in a probe of which he was not the target have not been confirmed.
The police involved in the search at Thompson’s home were from the Southern Metro and Geelong divisional response units, who are broadly tasked to investigate property crime and illegal drug activity.
When contacted on Saturday, Mr Thompson denied his home had been raided, but footage of police executing a warrant on the Rouse Street property, taken from a neighbouring home, emerged on Monday.
bigfooty doesnt qualify as a source
That is an awful thing to say. I think you need to think about what you’ve just written.
Often people can be associated or just know people and get caught up in something like the Supplement Saga.
No Evidence yet is there.

I guess that depends on whether you have respect for the man and who he was to this club.
God only knows he needs people to get off his back. Just having coached and being connected to Essendon and the Saga is enough to get plenty the media of clicks. If the cops had found anything it would be everywhere by now. He has not been arrested but his reputation has just taken another big hit. Get off his back.

You can respect what he did for the club and still see that he was off his ■■■■■■■ rocker in 2014.

Read somewhere another bloke spends a lot of time at the Port Melbourne residence with people coming and going all the time. Sounds sus. Potentially, this bloke is up to his ears in drug related stuff and Bomber inadvertently is caught in its wake.
And; is always a problem, guilt by association. Don’t think for a minute it doesn’t happen, it happens a lot. Particularly if you are sometimes hanging out with people who are a bit dodgy.
As my Buddhist Teacher says, always keep good company, you are less likely to get into trouble. He never says you won’t get into trouble, only that you are less likely to.
Maybe the AFP Anti Terror Unit took his nickname too seriously …

Has it occurred to you that the man was under immense pressure for a number of reasons and also, as it has since been disclosed problems in his relationship. So maybe, just maybe, he had too much on his plate???

There is seriously going to be some major egg on faces if it turns out that Bomber simply rented his property out and his only connection is that of a landlord.
That’s what I am hoping for anyway.

I’ve often thought there must be a whole room of CIA analysts monitoring Bomber Blitz.
All this talk of ‘long bombs from outside 50’, ‘explosive pace’ and ‘blowing the lid off’ must send them into a frenzy of investigation.
And the least said about Wheelie Bin Laden the better.
Hi CIA Hi.

There will be no egg on anyone’s faces. If the amount of misinformation spread from the supplements saga didn’t get “egg on any ones face” than nothing the media say and do will.
Media have learned that they have a free hit on our football club.

Agreed VS and TB and if there’s no fire to report their next headline will be something intellectual like -
Shock as man with tatts found to have more friends than local choirboy.
