Questions over drugs at Thompson house

The drugs seized from AFL great Mark "Bomber" Thompson's home in Port Melbourne and who they belong to will come under scrutiny as he fights trafficking and possession charges.

Thompson, 54, briefly appeared before Melbourne Magistrates Court on Thursday over drugs charges linked to a police raid at his Port Melbourne home.

The former premiership player and coach faces seven drug-related charges, including trafficking and possession.

Thompson did not speak in court as police prosecutor Sergeant Geoff Adams requested an adjournment because the investigating detective was away on leave.

Only the lead investigator could answer questions about the drugs seized from Thompson's home and the allegations against the 54-year-old and a co-accused, Sgt Adams said.

Police have previously said they found methamphetamine, ecstasy, LSD and MDMA in plastic bags at Thompson's converted warehouse home on January 5.

Three people - Thomas Windsor, Katia Drcec and Karl Holt - were charged following the raid, but Thompson was not charged until May.

Police said some of the drugs seized were found in a small room protected by a keypad that investigators allege only Thompson could access.

His DNA was also allegedly found on a bag containing MDMA located in his locked bedroom and other bags containing drugs.

Thompson, who is on bail, is due to return to court on July 31 for a special mention.
