The Crows put a week of torment behind them to post a 16-point AFL win over West Coast in Perth on Sunday.

The lead-in to the match was dominated by new revelations of the 2018 camp on the Gold Coast that left a number of players traumatised.

Eddie Betts’ revelations about the camp in his autobiography were followed by more damning information as Josh Jenkins detailed his own harrowing experiences.

A total of eight players who played against West Coast were part of the camp.

Nicks does not think his team’s pre-season for next year will be affected by more fallout from the 2018 camp.

“Not at all,” Nicks said.

“We’re a professional outfit.

“I can’t question the professionalism around the footy club. That’s on-field, but it’s also off-field. We have an amazing group of people, from admin to footy department.

“Nothing changed during the week. Guys were professional and got to work. We got across here and were ready to play. In the end, we got the result we were after.”

Forward Taylor Walker, who was captain at the time of the 2018 camp, struggled against the Eagles on Sunday, tallying just one disposal in the first half before finishing the match with one goal from five disposals.

Nicks was evasive when asked whether Walker had been affected by the camp controversy re-emerging.

“I can’t speak for Tex. We’ve had conversations, he’ll continue to go to work,” Nicks said.

“We went to work as a group. Tex was one of those. None trained better than him and at the level. He’ll put that aside and move on and play next week.”

Nicks says he will continue to support players needing it.

“We are open to where we are at, what we’re working on. We made sure we had support around everyone we could,” Nicks said.

“I’ll continue to do that, talk to players who have retired and gone to other clubs.

“We’re always looking to put an arm around those who need it. Also stay in touch with those who don’t.”

Adelaide defender Will Hamill was subbed off in the second quarter of Sunday’s match with concussion after receiving an accidental elbow from Jack Darling in a marking contest.

It was the sixth time Hamill has been concussed in his 38-game career.

“It is concerning, But it’s something we’re on top of with Will,” Nicks said.

“We won’t take any chances. Everything we do with Will is about his welfare.

“Will’s got a game where he loves to compete. He’ll go for every ball there.

“He doesn’t weigh as much as some of the players that run into him.”

Despite Adelaide’s victory, Eagle Josh Kennedy was sore but content after producing a farewell game for the ages.

Playing his 293rd and final AFL match, Kennedy kicked a remarkable 8.2 from 15 disposals on Sunday to give his side hope of victory.

The 34-year-old had the chance to kick his ninth and level the scores with five minutes left, but his 35-metre set shot sailed just wide.

The Crows kicked two goals in the dying minutes to seal the 16.6 (102) to 13.8 (86) victory.

Kennedy slumped to his knees at the final siren but the 50,117 fans soon broke into chants of ‘JK’, despite the disappointment of defeat.

“I’m so grateful that I was able to finish on my terms thanks to Simmo (coach Adam Simpson) and the club,” Kennedy said.

“Even though we didn’t get the win, it was great to be out there. It was a good game. I love being a part of those games, whether you win or lose.

“My knee’s a little bit sore. I don’t know if I’ll be in recovery tomorrow. There might be a few beers tonight.

“But the knee was the same as it always has been. It can feel good early and then it starts to kick in.

“I’ll be able to rest it and let it settle down, and hopefully it all gets mended over the next couple of months.”

Adelaide forward Darcy Fogarty was the villain for local fans with three last-quarter goals to finish with four for the match, while 200-game milestone man Rory Laird was superb throughout with 36 disposals, 10 clearances and two goals.

Kennedy’s haul meant he leapfrogged former St Kilda great Nick Riewoldt into 22nd spot in the all-time VFL/AFL goalkicking list.
