Hopefully the search warrant covered the bags under his eyes.

The whole thing is a joke; bombers got off light and the afl came out smelling less than pristine. Its a stain that won't go away for decades.

FWIW I don't think this has anything to do with Essendon/ASADA. Noting that the paper reported the arrest being in relation an allegation of "trafficking a drug of dependence", I really don't think it's in relation to PED's.

Obviously we don't know how MT has become involved in all of this, but I really hope for his sake it's just a bit of bad luck.

^Sure, the bikie staying in his place last week just slipped through his usual air-tight AirBNB selection processes.

Too much smoke around this guy for there not to be fire

Never a truer word spoken.

You didn't read my post properly. I said I doubt it's related to PED's (PERFORMANCE ENHANCING drugs). I suspect it's something far more sinister.

Phew

He has an excellent footy brain, and on that basis alone, you would have considered him in the event of Buckley departing.

However, when I heard about his mental state last year after the fallout of the supplements saga and something that has continued to affect him to this day, I didn't think he would have been a good candidate for the job even in the event that a vacancy opened up at the club.

I think it's likely he won't return to the game in any capacity. Sounds like he's completely fallen out of love with it.

Judging by that, I think TP likes coaches to be a little crazy.

I guess the fact they let him travel overseas is a good sign for his friends and family.

I saw him inside the Port Melbourne Bunnings a few days before he was in the news again.

Looked terrible and rather overweight.
