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…

    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.

    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.

    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
