Eddie Betts opens up on the weird camp

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.

did you mean eyes wide open blind?

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…

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

 

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?

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


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.

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

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

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
