And even then we were found not guilty of tanking but guilty of acting in bad spirit of the game. She should probably get those facts right. 

Agree.

If I recall correctly, Demetriou said there was no such thing as tanking, as the Coach wasn't telling players to go out and lose.

Then in a great piece of comedy, Gil said he didn't even know what tanking was.

Andersen stuffed this up, trying to be too smart and then lost his job, soon after a furious Demetriou returned from his holiday.

demetriou was its greatest defender but caught with his pants down when he went to the tennis at wimbeldon

Since bringing up the topic of Uncle Bitter's camp for masculinity, the nature of your verbiage is taking on a distinctly S&M flavor (i.e. dropping Eyes Wide Shut references). Should I be worrying about you, Daisy?

I'm not sure that last sentence resembled English

That’s a bit different to the formal defensive self-entitled AFL statement…

It's on the Adelaide official YouTube channel for.... unclear reasons.

Still 1% upset we didn't win by the ton.

I think his first words after the silent death stare where, I'm  great father, husband , FU mfer's, I'm gonna cup your sacks after the game

That was some of the smoothest footy in history

I'm pretty shocked that people in this thread aren't more up in arms about this and some are even suggesting it's a hoax. There should be serious ramifications on this and the people responsible should serve jail time. It is beyond unacceptable what they put these players through and they have to live with it. For shame.

The ex Crows Chairman , Rob Chapman, should take a long hard look at himself.

He denied in a public statement, everything we have heard about the camp and basically had a go at anyone complaining.

He would have spoken to the FD before his statement, made some time after the issue blew up. He was aware of the allegations and what went on. He showed no care for his players at all.

Mark Riccuto is not far behind him.

Most Crows supporters I've seen comment on BigFooty want Riccutio gone and Sloane and Walker to follow.

Jail time?

Can you explain that please?

Josh Jenkins has his say. Was in Group 1 with Eddie Betts

Josh Jenkins Full Statement on the Adelaide Crows 2018 pre-season camp

Absolutely going to be listening to this in full. Well done JJ for speaking out. 

Gee Jenkins raised by his grandmother then at the camp gets it thrown back in his face. It just sounds horrible

This is some serious Lord of the Flies cult garbage. It gets worse every time you hear about it. 

Borderline psychos play-acting at being commandos. What could go wrong? And the club wilfully put their playing list at the mercy of these cowboys. Great God.

Love-bombing alternating with denigration. Classic technique of cults and sociopaths.

On the school run this arvo so caught the Jenkins speech on SEN. Wow. If there's anyone still at the club who were involved in the decision making around that camp i reckon they'll be gone before the weekend is over.

And told them to remain silent!!!

I would be taking a class action against these cowboys 

This Jenkins interview is bloody damning. 
I wonder if all this stuff about Don Pyke is why Buddy is leaving

Every dog on the street knew that this camp was toxic. I'm amazed it has taken this long for someone to publically speak out

Credit to Jenkins for having the courage to speak up. I believe most of the Crows board/football staff have moved on since 2018 with the exception of Rucciuto.

Pyke didn't show good judgement or leadership. He either thought what was happening was ok which is a worry or wasn't strong enough to stand up and say what was happening isn't right. As the coach he is the most senior figure that the playing list, young men look up to, he failed them
