The first thing that springs to mind for me when I think of such occupations, is Patrick Swayze as Jim Cunningham, the motivational speaker, in the film Donnie Darko.

Ben’s first assignment: get into Clarrie’s head and convince him he’s NOT a fat [censored], which is how he currently sees himself. He believes this.

At the sponsors/coterie function two weeks ago our DA boss-lady asked us to get a pic of a player in our tent. It’s a DA thang. She suggested Clarrie so I went to ask him. As we were heading to the tent we passed a fan who realised where I was taking Clarrie and this bloke says, “Hey Clayton, I hope you’re not thinking of eating any sausages!” and he laughs and nods towards Clarrie’s stomach.

I instantly sensed a change in Clarrie and I said, “Dude thinks he’s hilarious.” Clarrie put his hand on his stomach and said, “He’s not wrong, though.” I told him for starters pot/kettle and a VERY BIG pot at that (this bloke wasn’t exactly rocking a washboard belly). I reminded him that he’s super fit and in great shape etc. and that genetics plays a part etc. and similar uplifting facts.

Clarrie perceives himself as fat and perception is reality. But perception can be changed.

Have at him, Ben!!!

it was definitely noticeable how self-conscious he is in the videos from 2024

i mean, he's not exactly as ripped as he was in 2022 and previous years, but he still looks pretty fit to me

definitely. can you mentally transport the guys back to 2021?

Mindfulness has a focus on the present. Go Dees in 2025!

PS We no longer have Gus, Spencer, Hibbard, and Neal-Bullen.

He’s definitely self-conscious and it’s sad to see. He’s putting in so much work and now that his hand has fully healed he’s close to 2021 Claz (IMHO). Goody and Selwyn and pretty much everyone involved are very pleased with where he’s at now. Most importantly, he knows that he’s turned the corner. But it’s this notion that he’s not ripped and that he’s “fat” that seems to pervade his thoughts. I guess running around with the likes of Tracc and Melks etc. doesn’t help, even Bowser’s sporting a little six-pack.

My wife said that I look like a six pack with 2 extra cans squeezed in.making me look like an 8 pack, with an Alpaca's head😎

Poor Clarry. I hope it's not at body dismophic proportions because that would be very mentally crippling. 

Great idea and great get this appointment, very very important, it worked for Ted Lasso's team it will hopefully work for us!

Played against him in our school footy.  He was good but thought he was better than everyone else !!! Unlucky not to get in an VFL list back then but like most of us, was not good enough.  At least he finally gets his chance to be in an AFL system.  Hope he helps us.  
ps. A calm mind is the most lethal machete to chop the miseries of our life. We spend almost all our time listening to the things people are saying that we rarely pay attention to our conversation with ourselves. It's not always what we hear but it's our inner conversation with ourselves that shapes our life.

Well said spirit of norm smith.

I reckon when he’s killing it out there next season he mightn’t dwell on it so much. I hope so, anyways.

Clarissa would be a decent addition to our AFLW team....

Honestly this is a great get. 

They talked so much about how important their ability to reset was in 21. And you could see last year when momentum turned against us we couldn't stop it.

Comments like this only serve to compound the problem.

This is a great appointment. It’s all about getting in the “zone”

Mind and Body working in unison, almost to the point where the play just happens. 
Motor Racing drivers are a great example, when the reaction time is fully on, the car almost drives itself. 
In ‘21 the Football Department looked to be in the “zone” most of the year…

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
