Speaking on Thursday\u2019s AFL Footy Show, Damian Barrett said questions about the contentious camp are \u201cnot going to go away despite what the club wants\u2026 there are more details continuing to emerge\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cClearly the club provided the group Collective Mind with a list of items and issues with which to tackle each player on and to confront those players in the hope of breaking them down mentally,\u201d Barrett said.<\/h3>\n
\u201cThe group Collective Mind was provided the list of options for each player by the club. And we know that five players at least have sought counselling as a result of what was done on that particularly camp. There may well be more — we know of at least five.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Barrett said Curtly Hampton was receiving help from \u201cfamily and friends\u201d after comments of an \u201cindigenous nature\u201d were directed his way that he \u201cwould\u2019ve preferred not to have raised\u201d.<\/p>\n
Barrett also said Sam Jacobs had taken up \u201cthe cause of Eddie Betts internally at the club\u201d, who is widely believed to have struggled with elements of the camp.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Jacobs] himself is dealing with what was said at that camp\u2026 he didn\u2019t like what he was subjected to.<\/h3>\n
\u201cTex Walker, the captain, we take him absolutely at his word that he got something out of the camp\u2026 we know his captaincy was questioned in a very vigorous way — was he smart enough, was he equipped to tackle it.<\/h3>\n
\u201cHe got something out of it. That was one of the positives to come out of it.<\/h3>\n
\u201c[But] clearly the tactic of the club providing the company that did the camp with these issues to target those players with is a significant issue, which will have lingering affects for the rest of this year and particularly when it comes to post season when players contemplate where they may be.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
