Club psychologist???

Posted

Roos continues to talk about the players mentality.

And we have over 30 people who work in the footy department and over 30 more who work at the club. Not to mention the 44 players!

I know we have a psychologist work with the players. But where's their name? How many hours are they doing if they aren't even on the website.

Maybe we need 2? Different people open up to different counsellors and Roos is speaking like some of our players need significant therapy.

Saty and any others with links in the club can you please get me an answer as to what the most mentally scarred club in the comp is doing to fix it besides meditation and Roos bringing it up at press conferences?

Probably need a team of psychologists and a hospital ward for starters GRRM

Sorry could not help myself

I actually think it is way more skill based than mental but that probably puts me in the minority.

No amount of psychology is going to turn Grimes into a good kick IMO

 

I love this idea, it could generate plenty of additional revenue.

Step 1 - the club hires a couple of full time counsellors

Step 2 - they set up a full time clinic in the bowels of the MCG

Step 3 - MFC members can pay a premium to get free sessions during any game at the MCG.

We need a proctologist to extract the players heads out of their arses

We need a hypnotist to tell the players that "when siren goes that they go hell for leather until the siren goes again".

That'll fix em.

Next we will want to know how many bowel movements each player has. This is a terrible post.

I think the club should provide these services for us supporters.

Tami’s work at Melbourne is no token hire. She is the author of two books — one with her husband — and has a degree in parapsychic science from the American Institute of Holistic Theology.

At this point of her involvement with the MFC you would have to say has been some what less than successful.

Found this definition: "Parapsychic science is the unity of contemporary science and philosophy with metaphysics to provide us with the ability to understand and communicate with the spiritual realm. It covers many areas of psychic science including the investigation of psychic phenomena, extra-terrestrial activity, telepathy, near-death experiences, and parapsychology."

From the Herald Sun article. Seems practical and apt for MFC.

Paul Roos is complaining about the players mental focus. If he was complaining about their fitness we would expect changes to the fitness staff.

If he's identified a problem, then please tell us paying members and supporters how he plans to fix the problem. Upgrading a couple of sessions a week unnamed sports psychologist to a bigger role may help. At least conversing with us members about what he's doing about the problem with be a start.

Thanks Ox for the spell check. Wasn't sure which way to there.

Agree it's a classic.

Damm the postal service is slow out to Beech Forest. The near death stuff seems appropriate given we suffer it almost every week.

It wouldve been quicker to get my doctorate online.

Im just not a computer nerd and did it in writing,Thats why 6 weeks.

Tammi has enlisted in the "tell your fortune by reading tea-leaves" course.{it takes 4 hours}I didnt want to commit

I for one cant believe in all of victoria,tammi was the only person available to our club.

Definitely job for the spouse..

It's not a bad point

There have been matches this year when we were brilliant, how can (nearly) the same 22 come out with the garbage of the latter part of this season

Psychic Phenomena is probably what I watched on Sunday afternoon at 320 pm! God help us!

come on mate.. just browse the board back to the middle part of the year, everyone including me was pretty happy with how the Roos era was taking shape. It is a different side over the last 4-8 weeks and I don't know why

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
