The worst ours could be described was insensitive (talking stick), and if true the releasing of confidential information regarding upbringing to the group is incredibly disappointing from a MH perspective..
Is it telling or actually making them go through with it?
I'm not sure to be honest.
I'm not sold on this controversy to be honest ... on the one had women are telling all over the place its their body their choice but if a coach suggests it, its the end of the world....
wait.. what? Can you provide a link? not able to find anything about this comment.
Um. What? That's a disgusting comment.

What's so disgusting? I'm not even a supporter of abortion but it's something that's so easily considered in this day and age... I don't understand what the big deal is if a coach suggests it as an option when a player is talking to the coach about his problems. This is afl, the highest category of performance jobs in the world. Clearly the goal of winning is clouding many peoples judgment... you have kids getting paid massive money and attention which they would never get in any other profession, they will have life problems that they then bring to work.... I want the other side to the story is all I'm saying. A Coach suggestion an abortion being an option doesn't seem that bad.
This is an awful take
Geezuz dude…
Imagine if your boss came up to you and said you're not welcome here unless you terminate your partners pregnancy?
The story says that the coaches are basically trying to help the player out. Obviously this player is having problems with many relationships in his life. The coach even offered to let the player in his home, do you think he would do that if he didn't genuinely care about the player? Look at the history of indigenous afl players life after footy? How many screwed up examples do you see? I'll give you one... Liam jarrah.
stop it
Nah I won’t stop having an opinion just because some plank on the internet disagrees with it.
I agree. What happened at our camp was disgusting and yes we have to take some of the responsibility. The camp organisers also have to take some of the responsibility. But I get the feeling that there is a distinct difference. Stuffing up at camp where which was organised and controlled by Collective Minds is a little different to club coaches and other club personnel directing players (any player) to get an abortion. I hope that our coaches didn't conduct themselves in the same manner as what's being reported. If they did it will come out. Rest assured that out club will some how get entwined in what is going to be a messy investigation. Collingwood also needed this like a hole in the head.
Spoken like a true eastern bloc gymnastics coach.
Her choice, not the coaches
Pretty sure at the end of the day it was ultimately her choice... and their choice leading up to all the problems that they then involved the coaches... who are now dealing with what they advised. People here are playing like the coaches put a gun to their heads. These people are adults (I assume)
People can be influenced into doing things they don't want to do however.
There's a bit of a difference between 'i choose this' and 'i chose this because my partners boss told me he'll be sacked from his lucrative career if I don't'.
Sure... but at the end of the day... everyone involved is an adult, and you can't wash away your responsibility in decisions which are ultimately yours.
At this stage we have no idea exactly what was said... so I'm keeping an open mind about things and not rushing to any conclusions...
The player didn't even suggest it was a "problem". From all reports he was jubilant and couldn't wait to share the news with the team. Imagine coming in thinking this is the greatest news of your life and you want to share that with people you work with, probably care about and maybe even see as mentors. And then one of them turn around and tells you you should convince your partner to have an abortion and split up with your partner.
