Shrink

This is not a troll.....but a qn.

I am guessing Freo would have a sports psychologist. Surely they are taught the psychology of winning a close game. I'm amazed Freo can't get over the line!

Anyone any ideas on what is going on and how to prevent this trend of leads turning into losses.

You reckon if we knew that our club would be in this position???

I posted something on this in another thread - but I wonder if Freo value the ability to concenrate for the duration of the game enough. It seems to me that the amount of brain fades late in the game is very noticeable.

As far as I'm aware, he's still the guy.

Follow the lead of the 7 gamer- we'd win more than we'd lose

I'm not far behind you there. A shrink would help me avoid temper-tantrums at home, that's for sure.

Freo have someone to players can talk to but its not a full time basis. And I'm not sure how many players use him. From what I know, its mostly injured players struggling with inner demons.

Don't know if this is still the case but I used to see him actually sitting in the coaches box on match day with CC. Thought that was OTT.
