REGULATOR CLEARS CROWS OVER CAMP
THE South Australian government’s independent workplace safety regulator has cleared the Crows of any wrongdoing from their infamous pre-season training camp in 2018.
Safework SA spent more than a year investigating the specifics of the camp and found neither the club nor any other person or organisation – referring to Collective Mind – breached any work health and safety laws.
An Adelaide statement said that club officials fully cooperated with the investigation, including providing all information and documentation that Safework SA requested.
The Crows offered no further comment on the findings.
The camp followed Adelaide’s grand final loss to Richmond in 2017 and the Crows haven’t made the finals since.
The footballers involved in the confronting camp have mostly been scathing of what took place, with Curtly Hampton retiring months afterwards, saying he had lost the desire to play at the highest level.
Fellow Indigenous players Eddie Betts and Cam EllisYolmen, who left to play for Carlton and Brisbane, respectively, were among those critical of what happened at the camp.
