2018 Adelaide Crows pre-season camp
The 2018 Adelaide Crows pre-season camp was a summer camp undertaken by players of the Adelaide Football Club, nicknamed the "Crows", from January 29 to February 2 in the lead-up to the 2018 AFL season. Run by Collective Minds, a consultancy group based in Queensland, the camp was designed to strengthen the mental strength of the players, the lack of which was blamed by the Adelaide's Head of Football Brett Burton and head coach Don Pyke for their loss in the 2017 AFL Grand Final. However, instead, the camp, described as "Cult-like", caused longstanding trauma, which was regarded as one of the main reasons for the precipitous decline of Adelaide from grand-finalists in 2017 to missing the finals in 2018, and continued poor performance in later seasons, as well as the departure of many players and senior officials from the club, including both Burton and Pyke.
