“And I am absolutely intent on correcting those sets of circumstances, led by a public apology (from) Tim Silvers (on) day one, and myself yesterday with Tim Silvers in an open letter.”
Olsen confirmed that he had seen the medical report prepared in the camp’s aftermath.
“I can’t tell you how many players are involved because the report doesn’t identify individuals appropriately so. It talks about circumstances affecting individuals,” he said.
“There are one or two aspects of that report that I consider a concern – where people shared private and confidential information on the basis where it would be exactly that, and that for then to be exposed in the camp was inappropriate and inexcusable in my view .”
Walker, speaking in a paid radio spot, on a show that is co-hosted by close friend Ricciuto, Walker said he was holding private meetings to get to the bottom of the camp fiasco.
“I can put my head on the pillow at night, and put my hand on my heart and say that I did everything I could,” Walker told Triple M Adelaide.
“I knew something was not right post the camp; I knew blokes weren’t feeling that great about it.
“I was having one-on-one meetings, I was having some confidential meetings at my house to try and work out exactly the path to take, and I can honestly say that I did everything I could to try and fix it.”
Walker’s comments come just hours after the club made another attempt to explain the situation and offered an apology with its letter to members.
“I took a positive experience out of it,” said Walker, who was captain from 2015-19.

“But that does not take away from the feelings of hurt that those boys are going through at the moment.”
Among the accounts of some former players was that private and personal information was used against them on the camp.
In an interview with News Corp earlier this year, camp organizers claimed that all details of the camp were provided to then Adelaide CEO Andrew Fagan and the board.
Walker said the Crows were now concentrating on moving forward and creating an environment under coach Matthew Nicks that priorities looking out for each other.
“We’re certainly doing that to the best of our ability,” Walker said.
“As footy club we still have to work through this … because sitting here you don’t like hearing that past players are feeling that way.”
