Bomba Thompson

Grant Thomas said that when he was in the media Demetriou threatened him with writs and SEN gave him edicts on what not to say, connected to AFL allocation of broadcasting rights.
He who pays the piper gets them to play very bad tunes.

Why is ‘bomba’ still in the thread title when on bomber’s own admission (in his book) he has been called bomber for many, many years and that is the name he is happy with?

Happy for the few posters who continue to use ‘bomba’ to enlighten me if his autobiography book is not what he says his nickname is.

because blitzers are old, except when you’re not then you’re a school holidayer.

Because it makes some people feel cool to know it was originally Bomba. It’s an “I know stuff” thing.

Given I remember listening to the 1968 grand final (living in country Vic attending was not an option) and supporting the bombers I suppose I am in the old category, still does not answer my question.

Because he is now disgraced according to the media and no longer associated with our club

Not sure of the meaning of your post. From the insights in your previous posts I assume your opinion of the media is similar to mine, no trust in a balanced, non biased report likely (with very few exceptions).

sorry if missing any scarstica font!

Should have put it sarcastica font, sorry to have confused you.

I find the hypocrisy pretty appalling. Not only that he’s been through his own problems and should be able to empathise, but that he feels comfortable making Bomber’s problems, and his own inability or decision to do anything about them, a “MMM” exclusive.

I think the most surprising thing is that we were able to perform so well with a bloke doing that much extra curricular stuff while also being the head coach.

Well “they” do say that you’ve got t o be off your head to be a head coach

Frawley is a super spud, whilst Derm is a worm. It amazes me that Robbo who has never had an intelligent insight about footy has his own TV show & is a footy editor, so he must get paid $1m. There must be a reason why footy media is populated with zombies, and I worry that the reason might be due to people like us.

Pretty obvious.

Its 100% ladyboy. She posted a number on her facebook. I googled it. It came up with backpage and cracker ads for a ladyboy escort named Amy. I picked her as a LB as soon as i saw her.

Among the Australian rules journos Mick Warner not so bad, might have inherited some journalistic craft from his grandfather Dennis Warner.
It is interesting how much the MSM are drawing on the Crawford and Hird podcasts with Ralph Horowitz ( don’t owe the AFL for a living) . They’ve gone international, 20 followers in Botswana at last count and we do know of at least one Californian subscriber!

Dont need to be an expert to see the obvious.

Snigger snigger. Disgusting that some in the media should generate this clickbait. Kicking the man when he’s down.

Frawley is a brain dead moron, and culpable in failing Hird and now, apparently, Bomber, yet chooses to use it for his own media gain? FRO.

Just Another reason to avoid SEN.
