Basically admits the preseason camp was a disaster. Burton needs to go.

I would have thought the players association would also be looking at it.

I'm interested to know what was said before and after this statement? A lot of the time these comments look worse out of context.
Well we have to double down and protect our staff. A few first rounders are a small price to pay
You don’t need that, just listen to the trees.
Disgraceful, anyone still want to claim Eddie had fun?
And then a few years later we will let the afl ceo incorrectly claim we didnt cooperate and not call him out.
So after about 4 months of digging by media, articles, countless rumours, countless refuting and "nothing to see here", and finally pressure from media ambassadors - the Chairman finally fronts with ...some aspects could have been handled better ?

Be a shame if Eddie’s body calls it a day one season out. He’s got a hell of a lot out of himself since moving back to SA particularly against us. Small forwards have done our heads in over the years and he’s been one of the best for some time.
Apart from one well noted - and dealt with - knob out of a large crowd, Port folks enjoy and like Eddie as a person just as much as we, um, dislike SA media type hype around him.
The alleged issue he had with the pre-season camp conditions really ought to have stayed in house. I don’t believe for a moment that he was the guy who leaked the bits and pieces floating around on that.

Does anyone get the impression that Sweet Jesus is Sam McClure? Certainly wants to defend journalists and McClure
Seems like the motto of this "camp" is:
1) Determine what areas in their life we can exploit; and
2) Exploit those areas and call it making them tougher.
Bizarre to be happening in 2018.

For some reason I have a memory of the same comment being trotted out after the article by Caroline Wilson about 3 months back. I don't have a link
Not here to troll. Eddie is one of my favourite non Swans players, and I reckon he's pretty much loved by all AFL fans (except DHs who throw bananas)...I hope he plays on next year, and I hope all this s**t with these sports psychologists goes away as well. Sounds bloody stupid, there's too much of it creeping into the game. I don't envy you as Crows supporters at the moment, this is even worse than the Tippett s**t! I hope it all gets sorted out and Eddie keeps playing, he's great for the game!
Not overly happy that Chapman thinks it's worthy to speak on, especially specifically mentioning that issue, but only at a press conference for the airport upgrade.
I think it's worthy of it being its own thing.
It's one thing for us to control the positive mention, not spoon feed the journos like Rucci his articles, but I think sometimes these things do need a response.
And that shouldn't be from Paul Seedsman at a primary school and Rob Chapman in his other job as Chairman of the Adelaide Airport.
I think it's time for Andrew Fagan to make himself available to the media, and with Fagan being from a non-AFL background I also think Burton should be available for questioning more often (and Hass with the injury stuff).
No more hiding behind sponsored announcements on the clubs Youtube channel.

Should Chapman have said "some" players rather than "indigenous" players? "Those whiny aboriginal players".

More importantly Douglas has just signed n for another year.
"Sloane"? "No".
"Seedsman"? "No".
"Lynch"? "No".
"Richie, another year"?
Desperate times.............

No he should tell it like it is, what I meant was that since that was the problem (and we admit it, and its obviously not something the media is guessing at), I think it's worthy enough of him addressing it through club/AFL channels first, not just because he had to do an appearance at the Airport.
I think he's touched on it previously? Clearly not strong enough to show it's an issue that we've been able to move on from (and hopefully we have done enough to do that behind the scenes).
