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

    That'll fix em.

    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.

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

    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

    I have to go back a long way before Brilliant come to mind, good perhaps but not brilliant

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
