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

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.

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. :wink:

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.
