Rumour Adelaide Crows camp

[Bam_Bam_Aus]

I wonder if they where searching for their inner Tiger?

Reckon they found it tonight?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Illegal shit sold by unqualified cowboys to unconscionable morons.

Injecting peptides. Fair dinkum. What a bunch of ****in idiots.

The similarities are obvious. Something to be proud of? Ok, sure.

So now it comes out that the Camp promoting itself as strengthening minds is not even run by a registered psychologist

Dear oh dear what a terrible situation for the club to put their players through

Oh course it isn’t.

Again, the similarities with Essendon here are alarming.

Nope.. crows gone backwards.. beat us over there by 70 last year.. means we’ve improved by 6 goals...

I’m looking forward to winning the flag by 14 goals this year instead of 8

The only reason Adelaide won was because they were blindfolded on a bus.

I reckon they don't ever want to hear that Richmond song again, maybe the camp worked.

AFL clubs are walking through a minefield with these camps - Sooner or later a player will sue the club for damaged mental health - Will add that with such an emphasis on mental health, I find it staggering clubs would hold such camps.

Maybe it’s because that bus a actually took them to a preseason camp?

Thursday night showed that it really hurt our players mental state. Players dropping like flies, two down on the bench and Sloane ane and Talia both hobbling and we beat the reigning premier by 36 points. Terrible stuff. Can’t see any club going on a camp like that ever again.

OMG that’s terrible news! Lordy Lordy my. I guess the players who came back and said it’s the best thing they’d ever done must’ve been delusional with all that unskilled mental training they went through. Should’ve gone to China instead because that’s paying off so well for Port. How’s that whole awkward still haven’t gotten a major sponsor thing going?

Settle down champ and stop deflecting this about Port.

It's obvious you only see the short term picture - How Adelaide played on Thursday night has little or no relevance to the thrust of my post - I suggest you are posting in the wrong thread.

110% agree. Old champ here has fallen for the wall paper over the cracks performance on Thursday night. There's no doubt residule effects from the training camp. An example is the concerning form of Eddie Betts who looks disinterested

Lol. Betts lost form late last year which was clearly before the camp. Love all these armchair quarterbacks pretending that they even knew what happened on the camp and potential effects etc. so many ‘experts’ on bigfooty with the mandatory Port trolls looking for any excuse to rip the Crows. In the meantime we’ll just keep smashing Port by 83 points....and beating top 8 teams.

Stop ignoring the fact that multiple Crows players have said it’s the best thing they’ve ever done champ.

And there it is again, old champ scoutboyz deflecting the Crow shortcomings on to Port. Like clockwork....

All I'm reading champ is you ignoring the fact that several players had significant issues with the camp

And yet the week before you folded like a deck of cards in the final quarter to a team that played one short for 3/4. Personally I don’t think the camp has made a lick of difference good or bad. You are never going to keep 100% of the players happy 100% of the time, some would of loved it and some would have hated it. Slow media week I think

damn right we have injections for that - no metal health issues there?

perhaps there could have saved a spoonful of cement for dimma the petulant

It would be very hard to prove the camp caused your mental health problem. Particularly when there’s 30+ other blokes that have come out fine.

Eddie didn't finish last year too well though. Not as bad as he has been last 2 weeks, but still pretty average. If he doesn't improve, he'll need to find form in the 2's. Not sure our coaches have the balls to do that though.

Agree. I just made a Thread on this topic on the mainboard - whether Adelaide would be better off with Matt Wright right now over Eddie. Perhaps unpopular as Eddie is a crowd favourite but statistically it has merits

 

[Captain Morgan]

Is it a coincidence that Greg and hungry caterpillar are both new to BF, both support port and both have kids books as the theme for their avatar; both trying to troll on the main board ?

I doubt that with the increased emphasis on mental health - It's not like the old days when players grinned and beared mental health issues - Society and by extension players are far more aware of mental health issues - I am certain that the AFLPA and people like Peter Jess are right onto this issue, especially when you have unqualified people running these camps.

Ones been nuked and the other is suspended so say that you are correct unless they are just both dumb alias trolls.

They were only interested in Round 2, going to be interesting to see how they're sitting half way through the season, then conclusions can be made with more confidence.
