Small forward Jarmaine Jones will likely be out I'd hazard a guess too due to the "close contact" rule....He lives with Tim Kekky and his family

Seriously the Footy gods have not been kind to West Coast this off season.
We're so lucky Covid ripped through our team already.
What happens if it's for a grandfinal? Would they postpone it if half a team can't play?

Rumours board suggests that Adelaide FC are trying everything to stop the release of Eddie's book and all mentions of "the camp"
If the people responsible have been fired already what would we possibly care about?

Stinkley got a bit defensive when interviewed by Rowie, when he was asked if he’s worried that much of his team hasn’t had COVID compared to other clubs. Sounds like pretty much our whole squad has had it.

Even if it's not AFL mandated, clubs will implement their own 'bubble' when finals start, maybe even earlier.
I do wonder what he can really say that is scandalous about the camp.
Cleared by AFL, AFLPA ( and Worksafe SA. So nothing affecting player welfare. If he claims player welfare was impacted, he should question why he paid his union (AFLPA) fees.
I reckon this chapter will be about the misuse of an Aboriginal artefact. Which the club did rectify and a truth telling session where trusts and friendships broken. Which ultimately killed the next two seasons.

The truth is all out there. It’s just … a little boring.
Doubtful much, if any, of it is about the camp itself. It'll be failures subsequent to the camp. Most of the board were in place during it, perhaps individual board members are identified. If they followed the hierarchy and were getting nowhere at CEO level, board members mat have been approached.

Wasn't the biggest Camp Issue that some players had private conversations with some Administrators, and that information was passed on to contractors?
Sorry if this an old rumour. Can't remember what is fact and what is proven to be fiction.

That was an early claim. From memory there was talk that the death if Sauce's brother came into it somehow. I've little doubt that the camp itself wasn't the problem, it was club management pig headedness after the event. If Eddie's books complains about anything, it won't be the camp, it'll be the club.

The Boy from Boomerang Crescent
Buy The Boy from Boomerang Crescent, Our August Book of the Month by Eddie Betts from Booktopia. Get a discounted Hardcover from Australia's leading online bookstore.
You are spot on. Eddie’s story is so much more than the camp, to whittle it down to just that one event is disrespectful and racist (just calling it is what it is Scoop).
It will be a few pages about how shit it was, how players didn’t like it and how the club played poorly afterwards. Last 5 pages of chapter 15.

What I heard was Jacobs brought it up when talking about reasons why some players were challenged on why they didn’t perform on GF day. Others felt uncomfortable with it. Jacobs regretted bringing it up. CM kept going with it. Should have pulled themselves up on it but didn’t. Left things a bit sour which on top of the indigenous stuff, turned a whole bunch off. That’s basically the extent of the bad stuff. Jacobs and the indigenous stuff up.

There’s not even anything about the camp in the teaser blurb, how disappointing
Where are the fresh titillations to excite us into purchase?!?

Also notice there's no co-author? All that talk of Ali Clarke being kicked off and replaced because she didn't want to put her name to the camp story.
Or, did one stupid Vic journo see that her name wasn't attached and automatically think she'd been sacked and not just agreed to help Eddie for no credit?
