It's not like he's come out and decided to rag on the camp and the club out of the blue. The people responsible for bringing this up are the media, who are choosing to highlight one aspect of the book, one part of an amazing, truly inspiring story of a proud black man when there are so many great stories about Eddie Betts to report on.
Yes of course the camp was bad obviously, and of course Adel handled this poorly - but the commentary around Betts getting over it, or non-indigenous players not bringing it up, or that he had his chance to talk about it etc are ******* stupid.
The whole focus should be on his book release and the story of his life - the barriers he overcame and broke down, and the pathway he's forged for the next generation of Aboriginal people,, but no, that doesn't generate enough hatred and vitriol for the media to worry about.

All they talked about was the camp like it was the only chapter in the book.
Eddie himself had to several times say hey its only one chapter in the book.
But Robbo had to keep going over old ground. Like he was trying to get him to cry.(ratings driven)
I wanted to hear something enlightening about his transition from being a naughty little boy to being a genuine star.
I'm really wish the media would do what their actual job is
Report on the actual game and leave the offield stuff alone.
700 accredited media, that's almost 1 per player.
All of them career climbing, hoping for that big scoop.
Hounding players constantly, contributes to poor mental health, which in turn means they play shit footy.
I want to see the best at their best!

Rankine- First round plus Crouch?
Georgiadis-first round
Himmelberg we’ll get a big of Smuth Cheese and Onion chips.
