“I think the playing group lost a bit of trust with the footy department. Obviously a lot of details we weren’t allowed to know going into the camp, we all had to sign waivers just to say we can’t speak about it after.

How normal is it to have to sign a waiver about going on a pre-season footy camp?

Legitimately Bryce Gibbs at the camp

Those waivers are the gift that keeps on giving.

The details will continue to trickle out for decades.

I wonder if the trust they lost in the football department included the director of football?

Yep, most clubs would just air the dirty laundry, appologise and try to move on as quick as possible but yet the crows are happy for the rumours and stench to remain like a noose around their necks - gotta love the crows.

David Mackay in for knee surgery.

Just when you thought their decision to keep him on the list couldn't get worse.

I mean if it meant he didn't get games and therefore gave more opportunities to kids it would probably be a good thing. But we all know they will play a 50% David Mackay.

If the club had immediately gone "Mea Culpa" over this debacle, they would have been smacked on the wrist, the Adelaide Crow-media and ambassadors would have glossed it over within a few weeks, and they would have salvaged the players, coaches, and what vestige of "team culture" they still had.

Instead, they decided to kick themselves in the head, and implode the club!

It’s funny that they’ll try and sell the rebuild line to their customers but we all know McKay will play most games 😂😂
 
Essendon has been forced to apologise to its players and backflip on a plan to withhold a portion of their salaries last month, which reportedly left them upset.
In a statement, Bombers CEO Xavier Campbell admitted the club erred in its handling of the situation.

The club sent an email to the players at 8pm on Friday night, telling them nine per cent of their wages for the month would be withheld, before consulting them on the plan.

Hey Holden, how's the weather from two days ago?
 
This just in: people get upset when you withhold their pay for no reason.

Coming up: Why are Essendon such a bunch of shitcampaigners?

Holy sh*t!

Anyone hear about Essendon emailing their players about their pay on Friday?

I've got some inside word that apparently a guy named Stephen Dank has been administering some substances to the Essendon players which could land them in hot water. I'll let you guys know if I hear anything more.
