The 54-year-old, who played in three premierships with Essendon and coached Geelong to two flags, is due to face Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday.

He was released on bail earlier in May after he was charged with seven drug-related offences, including trafficking and possession.

Quantities of methamphetamine, ecstasy, ephedrine, LSD and MDMA were found in plastic bags during a raid of Thompson's residence on January 5, police say.

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

The room also allegedly contained Geelong memorabilia.

Thompson was interviewed by detectives in January about the drugs but was not charged with any crimes until May 1.

He was released on bail even though police believed he was a flight risk because he had access to a yacht and money.

Strict bail conditions require Thompson to report to police three times a week.

He also agreed to pay a $20,000 surety and notify authorities if he needs to travel interstate for football commitments.

He has also been banned from contacting three other people - Thomas Windsor, Katia Drcec and Karl Holt - who were charged following the raid of his home.
