Adelaide made their players listen to the Richmond theme song on repeat (H-Sun)

Adelaide players repeatedly played Richmond theme song as part of gruelling pre-season training camp

SAM EDMUND,
Herald Sun
28 March 2018

ADELAIDE players were repeatedly played the Richmond theme song during their mentally-probing pre-season camp on the Gold Coast.

The Herald Sun can reveal a small group of senior Crows were subjected to the yellow and black anthem after being split without warning from the team.

The ear-bashing was one of several testing elements of the week-long Queensland trip, which ran from January 29 to February 2.

The Herald Sun can also reveal the text message captain Taylor Walker sent to his teammates as allegations swirled about what happened at the camp

In part the text said “Boys, there’s some rumblings around the camp. Don’t talk to anyone, let’s discuss it in the morning. Disappointing Tex.’’

The revelations come as Adelaide prepares to face the Tigers, last year’s Grand Final nemesis, at Adelaide Oval.

Sources said the purpose of playing the Richmond song was part of a “cleansing” process after the Crows were humiliated in last year’s decider by 48 points.

Crows coach Don Pyke admitted not all players reacted well to the program steered by performance experts, Collective Mind.

Article in the Age (Firewalled) suggests that it was the indigenous lads that weren't happy with the preseason camp.

So what we need to do tonight is ensure the Crows are out on the ground before we come out

they will then hear the song again before the first bounce and all the memories will start flowing back........  ;D

It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”
