    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?

    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...

    https://www.canberratimes.com.au/sport/afl/crows-camp-crisis-pyke-ignored-players-wishes-with-collective-mind-20180827-p5003j.html

    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.

    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.

    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.

    certainly a non issue now, but it was a potential red flag at the time

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
