One of my old workplaces organised a ‘team building’ event after work hours. It consisted of listening to the history of the company as recited by the CEO at the time on an old ipod while we were asked to walk around the city to specific points of interest as dictated by the video, individually, at 6pm. This recording was 2 hours long. I walked around for 15 minutes then got on a train home. Absolutely bizarre.

Sounds like a great excuse for a pub crawl. For extra points you could submit a claim for reimbursement of all costs for your evening.

Thats how the QLD origin boys bonded leading up to state matches, except may have been pubs…
Was that the one where they smeared ■■■■ on the walls, or the one where they ■■■■■■ in their own mouths? Or the one with the group sex? Or the time they got drunk and rode horses and someone fell off and broke their arm or something?

AFaiLPA Paul Marsh says this:
“The details outlined by Eddie Betts in his new book about the 2018 Adelaide Crows training camp are extremely concerning and difficult to read. We commend Eddie on the courage he’s shown in telling this story and are troubled by the ongoing hurt caused to Eddie and his family.
“Much of the information detailed in Eddie’s book about the camp is new information to the AFLPA and we are extremely concerned about this information on three levels. Firstly, the lack of psychological safety afforded to the entire playing group, secondly the cultural appropriation of Indigenous artefacts and, thirdly, the deliberate gathering of confidential information on players for the purpose of harmfully misusing the information.
“At the time that some details of the camp started to emerge, the AFLPA spoke to a number of Adelaide players about the camp. What we now believe is clear from our discussions with those players and the information contained in Eddie’s book is that players felt pressured into remaining silent about the details of the camp.
“On the back of the new information that has emerged, the AFLPA will be contacting all Adelaide players from 2018 to seek a better understanding of the details of the camp and any individual issues that may have arisen from it.”

No-one will ever convince me that the AwFuLPA and (in particular) AFL knew nothing of this.
Like everything it’s just another bulge under their rug which they smothered with their standover tactics and hoped would go away.

They can pretend they didn’t know what went on, They would have known by now.
They’re bullshitting about this.
They’ve always bullshitted about this.
Adelaide.
The AwFuL.
The AwFuLPA.
All of them.
No–one but the most gullible of morons (and the pliable media specialists shitscared of losing their media passes) is buying what they’re selling.

Really feel for him
The book isn’t about the camp - it’s about Eddie Betts, who is entitled to tell his life story
It’s just so disappointing that his story has this cloud over it, because in the typical AFL/AFLPA fashion of half-assing their entire role and refusing to take the right action at the time, we now have to go through it all over again

Among the first exercises performed by Group 1 was an exercise in which players were told to find a partner and stare at their eyes, alternating which eye they were staring at.[1]During the middle of this exercise, Tom Lynch collapsed. He was taken to a bed, where he started to vomit.[11] Despite his condition, camp workers refused to call for medical attention, claiming that he was only suffering from dizziness.[1] Lynch was only given medical assistance upon the demands of the players, and club doctor Marc Cesana, who was not at the camp and did not know where it was located, was contacted and made to drive to it and bring Lynch back to Broadbeach to provide medical attention.
