'Delicious' is a fun word to say
"We're the pride of South Australia"
It'd be difficult not to wince and sing that line with how this has all come out this week.
"And respected by our foes"... LOL

Adelaide Crows potential class action
Several Adelaide Crows players are reportedly considering filing a class action over the AFL club’s 2018 pre-season camp, further claims about which have emerged in the past week following the publication of Eddie Betts’s biography.
Betts, one of the AFL’s greatest players and an Indigenous icon, claimed in his book that he suffered trauma at the camp, which he says was “weird” and “disrespectful”.
Betts claimed that information he had confidentially disclosed was yelled at him in front of other players during one session. Adelaide and the AFL apologised to Betts last week but lawyer Greg Griffin has said that may not be the end of the story.

This sad saga is an indictment on the Crows Management- simply disgraceful and incredibly stupid. It needs a thorough investigation by the AFL hierarchy and everyone responsible should never be allowed anywhere near a football club ever again. Full sympathy to the players involved: they are enemies during a game but when the final siren sounds, all players shake hands with the opposition and exchange friendly chatter- this is a beautiful aspect of our great game.
Of course a GF loss is heartbreaking but it is no shame! At least they made it to the GF, unlike 16 other teams!
How the Crows Management allowed this stupid nonsense to happen beggars belief. Thank God we have our Swans Culture and common sense to prevent such awful “experiments”.
If the Adelaide footy club is going to be hung, drawn and quartered over this thing then surely "Our Don" has a bit to answer for.
He was after all THE COACH of the team. Historically they have a very significant role in what the players do when they are the
club.
