You must work for them, this collective minds are a joke nothing good came from them, they are what they call quacks, frauds pretending to be psychologist when none of them are  qualified.

You’re not a fan of what they’ve achieved at Adelaide?

It just comes naturally I don’t know if it’s something you can teach. They’ll need to wear a satchel, it helps with the overall look. 

I think the intimidating guts help with the overall look too.

Easy to laugh at them. Bar a players revolt, Seems we were close to going down a similar pathway.

It is only getting worse as more details come out.  

According to this article, Collective Minds were ditched early in the season, which led to some wins, before Pyke brought them back the week before the Alice Springs game...

Addressing the psychology of players is essential. Do it in a militaristic way such as the Crows did and we did is fraught with danger. It is not the way to go about it.

Employing a mindfulness course sellout like the Tigers did and focusing on positive psychology is how it needs to be managed.

I note our players revolted and told the FD they didn't want to do the camp again and the FD listened and cancelled it. We were laughed at and seen as weak (both players and coaches) yet ended up finishing 5th. The Crows players revolted and Collective Minds were scrapped leading to their best form for the season. They were then reinstated leading to their worst loss (in years?) against us and ended up dropping to 12th after runners up last year.

Beware the fugazi.


Where are all those morons saying we should have gone on the camp? Those saying it thought the player where weak, maybe the players knew something, maybe if Don listen to his players like Goodwin did they might have had a better season.

Camp wars?

I don't think anyone wanted us to go on a fake macho camp run by would-be Rambos who've watched too many Schwarzenegger and Steven Seagal movies, and end up injured physically or psychologically.

The issue was always the way the players went behind the club's back. Indicated a rift in the club which had the potential to Adelaide our season.

Adelaide lived out precisely the season we feared we might wear because of the rift.

Fortunately we appear to have overcome that and amazingly enough, our recent on-field success is the mental breakthrough we needed, not midnight hazings while naked in blackface.

No more camps and no more rifts.

Go Demons!

No that's wrong many said the player should just do what the club tells them to do, but those saying  that will just pretend they said nothing.

Background: A 'cult-like’ pre-season camp debacle left senior Adelaide Crows players distressed

Entitled the ‘Mankind Project’ and run by Collective Minds, players were asked to complete emotionally upsetting questionnaires, as well as a variety of tasks that sources say also had at least one assistant coach questioning the merits of the mental elements of the camp.

Now read on ...

My (very) weird weekend with the naked woodland warriors who travel to remote England to 'reclaim their masculinity'

I have signed up to the ManKind Project, an all-male group boasting 1,700 UK members that aims to release men's 'inner warrior' and reclaim their masculinity.

Sounds like the kind of bollocks that Gavin McInness and the Proud Boys would do. In their case, the participants are mostly coveted in Cheeto dust and sporting fedoras and anime t-shirts.

The players went behind the leaders' backs and behind the coaches backs and went to the AFLPA. That is the only issue.

They got the result they wanted, so it’s a non issue. Always was. 

They can certainly stand the stand, but they can't walk the walk

The players got the result they wanted? You might be happy with that but it spelled 'issues' for me. What are the leaders of the club there for if not to deal with this sort of thing?

It's like Gysberts refusing to run a 3km time trial because its too hot....

Were the 'issues' with the coaches or the players in your view?  Coaches unapproachable or players very naughty boys?

Whatever, the proof is in the pudding and the pudding at the moment looks very tasty.   So even if it was an issue, it is a non-issue now as DA stated.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
