On the one hand, he is a lucky bastard - usually you are caught with digital scales and plastic bags, you are done for dealing.
On the other hand, he is an unlucky bastard - first time offender who the magistrate thought didn't own most of the drugs - should have been a diversion or a good behavior bond... not a conviction and big fine.
Oh well - we will have to wait for the update to the bio to hear his side of things

Re: Bomber Thompson
There have been rumours that he’s been on the gear for years. Even when he was coaching the Cats. Anyhow, it’s a sad tale. Such a wonderful bloke who has gone off the rails.
Re: Bomber Thompson
Hope he finds a way to get some peace of mind here and move onto a better phase of his Life.
Get well soon Bomber!

Re: Bomber Thompson
He did record a conviction which is going to affect some things in his life and if he breaches the conditions, he will go to jail.
He has to do compulsory rehab which is a good thing. If a person is really wanting to get clean then it can be a welcome opportunity. There is more to rehab than just being physically withdrawn from the drugs of choice. Then it is the mental/emotional stuff which needs to be cleared out and dealt with. I hope he has lots of support because he will need it. Wish him all the best and hope things work out for him so he can change his life.

Re: Bomber Thompson
Sad what has happened in his life. I hope he’s on the up (as it appears to be). He’s a bloody legend of the game.

Re: Bomber Thompson
Agree Ben. He was a bloody legend. Tough as nails and could read the play.
Another victim of the fkng saga 'stitch-up'.
A great and humble man.

Re: Bomber Thompson
Fruit! He’s looking a lot worse for wear these days
Hope he’s getting it all back together again.
All the best Bomber.
Love to be a fly on the wall when he sees Demetrius again…
