According to an article on Fox on 26 August, Mr. Barnham confirmed that the intensive external review that will, in part, determine the type of coach necessary will be due in mid-October. According to another report, Mr. Barham hoped to have a new coach selected by the end of September. Obviously, the committee to find the new Senior Coach will (1) choose a coach without the benefit of the external review (which is to describe that coach’s characteristics, list management and style of play recommended), or (2) choose a coach whose employment is contingent on the review or (3) the review will have no bearing on the identity of the coach, making a mockery of the entire process. The Sign and Trade Period begins September 30 and ends October 7. Assuming Mr. Barham has been truthful, the team will go through the critical Trade and Sign period without the external review on the list, management or a coach. It seems pretty obvious that Adrian Dodoro (who has not delivered a flag in 20 years) is de facto running the football side of the club. Doesn’t it seem odd to choose players without knowing what the coach wants or what style of play the external review recommends? Doesn’t this seem odd to anyone?
AFL News: Bombers turmoil deepens with CEO quitting, Fyfe 'cherry ripe' for Freo finals, Rayner banned
Have people read Graham Cornes on page 37 of the Advertiser (Advertiser.com.au) for August 7, 2022? The outrage that most fans and supporters feel for “The Camp” are minimized and derogated in his homage to times long ago when players endured far worse offenses and humiliations. He describes specific events at the camp without attribution. Who told him that his rendition of facts was correct since it obviously contradicts the public accounts of IDENTIFIED players? Was Mr. Cornes there and a witness to the events? He states that SafeWork SA and the AFL Integrity Unit conducted their own inquiry and “were provided all facts of the players’ processes and interactions, including Eddie’s.” That assertion seems to directly contradict the statements of players, AFLPA and AFL. What part did the “old breed” of Footy players play in The Camp? The players and Crow supporters want to know who authorized The Camp and who is responsible for “The Coverup”? Don’t the players whose careers were damaged if not ended have a right to know? Don’t the Crow supporters?

In the US, some states have authorized civil suits for the Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress. I do not know if that concept exists under Australian law. The release of the Crow’s doctor’s report (which the AFL apparently knows about) might be evidence in such a suit. Jenkins also makes reference to a CEO or football manager. Does anyone know who that was or the identity of the 10 players and 2 coaches who were part of Group 1? It sounds like they got the worst of it. I also remember that Rory Sloane tried to defend Tex Walker sometime later saying that no one knows what Tex had done for the club that had not been made public. Was that ever clarified? If so, did it include the fallout from the camp?
Josh Jenkins' childhood was 'a source of shame, pain and pride'. He says Crows camp leaders used that to abuse him
If the AFL was serious about eliminating a specific conduct, it would suspend for the greater of a set number of games or until the injured player returns to competitive footy. If the player is forced to medically retire, the offending player is suspended for one year from the injury. Question. Should the AFL not also suspend coaches like Mr. Hinkley who declare that they will direct their players to attack specific opponent players (Neale)?
