Eddie Betts has opened up on the notorious Adelaide Crows training camp which he claims misused personal and sensitive information.
AFL champion Eddie Betts has opened up on the notorious Adelaide Crows camp, revealing he lost passion for football after the "weird" and "disrespectful" experience.
Betts, an Indigenous icon and one of the AFL's greatest small forwards, has claimed the group — which he chose not to name in the book — running the camp misused personal and sensitive information. "There was all sorts of weird shit that was disrespectful to many cultures, but particularly and extremely disrespectful to my culture," Betts wrote in the book and published in The Age."All the people present heard these things."Another camp-dude jumped on my back and started to berate me about my mother, something so deeply personal that I was absolutely shattered to hear it come out of his mouth.
Betts said what happened at the camp on the Gold Coast and the group's involvement with the club impacted on his mental health and form during the 2018 season.
