I get what you were saying. They did use sensationalist language and that's not good enough. But it is upsetting to be told some harsh truths by teammates. No doubt some got their back up

This is exactly what I was told by someone at the camp.
This session destroyed trusts and team chemistry and the person who told me felt CM were amateurish in how they handled/controlled it.
The rest of the camp was pseudo science fluff. But this cut deep.

Watching The Social Dilemma doco on Netflix right now, highly recommend for anyone who uses social media frequently and have kids that do as well. Anyway, they did studies about news on Twitter and found that fake news spreads 6 times quicker than something that is true.
Just made me think of how easily the outlandish rumours spread about the camp but CM coming out has received zero traction on social media. Basically, the reason they give is that something that is true is usually way more boring than something that has been made up, it’s human nature and social media platforms absolutely feed on it.
This doco is very eye opening and will make you question your social media use.

I know personally, I'd be offended if I was being told I was one of the reasons we lost a gf. It would have had the opposite effect and no doubt lost the players trust. I think judging by the interview collective minds know they missed the mark.
However this is far from the mental torture camp and confidential information from the team psych being aired for team consumption some journos claim.
I personally am fine for them having that session. We cleared out the mediocre dead wood culture as a result.

Football clubs have a history of 360 feedback and similar brutally honest sessions.
This sounds like it was mismanaged or went badly, but it's pretty common.

CM have recently disputed that
Kornes on SEN said that announced today that Worksafe SA 12 month investigation into camp found no breaches of the Act/Rehula tions by any party involved.
As expected, the camp itself highly likely had only minor issues, but management encouraged them to fester and become a major problem.

The leader of the bunch.
When I saw the club statement pop up, I immediately thought "oh no, what have we done now?"
Same, was expecting another drink driving or drug possession charge to one of our players

I thought exactly the same
So, when will the lawsuits come in from ex players now?
What an absolute joke this whole debacle has been.

Is the defamation case between Collective Minds and McClure still going?

For me, when I am contemplating what to believe on this issue, one thing stands out, where are the inside whistle blowers outside of the few disgruntled players? Collective Minds and the AFC had support staff at the camp. We saw how Tex said one racist comment and there were sources from inside AFL house running to the media almost immediately. Obviously the club didn't get the result from the camp it wanted and some players left but not one single source has ever come forward to back up the rumours in the media of the camp. This is highly unusual on any issue. There is usually someone that will go public, especially for money. No one even came forward to contradict the points made in the collective minds camp interview.
On a side note, the State Government and the media owe the club a public apology. the inflammatory language that Marshall and the AFL media came out with citing the baseless rumours is unforgiveable.
Other than that, the camp should be dead and buried. time to move on.

This also confirms Don Pyke was right.
The camp was obviously a fail, but everyone who has looked at, who was in a position to make a call on it , has cleared the club of any wrongdoing.
We had some pathetic campaigners on our list, Pyke knew it , I wonder if Nick's has pulled the trigger where Pyke didn't think he had the backing of the club.
The bigger question is why didn't Pyke have the backing of the club.

I think that was more likely to just be something they threw up to try and get some credibility back.

Until the next negative press.
I'd be hesitant to say the club has been "cleared of wrongdoing" in any sense other than legally.
There are plenty of culture-destroying things you can do that won't cross a legal threshold but will nonetheless erode the trust of your playing group.

So when does McClure hand back that farcical 'journalist' award?
The way admin handled the aftermath of the wild accusations should have been the article's content, not the camp itself.
