Bluemour Discussion Thread IX

It has nothing to do with power posing. It’s just placing your hands behind your head or on your hips when you’re tired, not on your knees. I’m really not sure why this is so controversial

Its not controversial - you've just been caught in the cross fire of the lighter side of BF Carlton..

any chance of a pic of your towels on the line? no way 2 towels, 3 pegs.............shows a hurried, inefficient effort..........

What do you know? Thy being a smartass to a relatively new poster sharing his thoughts that, really, aren't that outrageous.

Standing up straight and opening your chest when you're tired allows more oxygen to get in, it's also perceived as better body language - this is common knowledge isn't it? Played footy my entire life and especially during pre-season it was always encouraged to put hands on head as opposed to hands on knees after a big running stint. Same as half time of games etc.

Anyway I have no idea why the **** I am talking about this.

so no pic of the towels? poor old chunky.........another one bouncing around with a red face............

Didn't last long as a captain

Well Hodge coached us the following year and he had the same expectations. Four premierships as captains between them, yep, they’d have no idea about training demeanour.

 

[Dadda Dave]

were they allowed to wipe their faces?

Only Kane Cornes is allowed ! Its to wipe the dribble after he speaks .

I wasn't referring to the hands on knees, hands on head

I was referring to the comment regarding Mitchell setting the standards

 

[branedotorg]

No interest in Rocket, not sure he's the man you bring in to help create any kind of half decent culture.

agreed but we want a full decent culture

 

[King Karl]

Ok, I’m out of here. With my dealings with him I’d suggest Mitchell would be a terrific addition to our coaching panel. Would be a great mentor to our young midfielders.

I agree mate, but you'll struggle to find anyone around here who has any praise or admiration from any non-CFC player/associate, so don't take it personally. Think you'd be more popular if you suggested the 60 yr old Wayne Johnston to come and train the midfield and tell stories of the great CFC of the 80s.

Thanks for sharing your experience with Mitchell and Hodge though.

Certainly didn't work for these spuds

Still baffles me how 23 adults can stand there like that without collapsing from embarrassment.

 

[gandaal]

I would argue that nothing Sam Mitchell does is pointless. Bending over and looking at the ground was seen to be negative body language. Alternatively, having hands on hips instead of knees keeps the spine straight and your head up. These were standards that were inforced during their premiership era so they obviously have some substance.

Someone tell Robert Harvey. He might have won three Brownlows instead of just two.

how many flags did his team win?

 

[StandByyourMan]

i think you'll find he had hold of his shorts.

 

[BIGGUS 64]

That Fyfe talking to Cripps rumour can gagf!!!

I'm sure it was just banter, if the conversation took place at all. Cripps already has a manager, he doesn't need career advice from Fyfe.

 

[BIGGUS 64]

Maybe if they had gone for the hands on hips, wonder woman pose, they would have won

Could go for one of these...
The one third from the right for mine.

 

[HBF]

Sam Mitchell and Jimmy Bartel please.

Mitchell would be a huge get. Can imagine a heap of other clubs would be after him as well.

Wasn't there a rumour us and the Saints were looking at him a while ago?

could be a niche thread idea there for all you 'no hands on knees wins premierships' believers

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

hilarious

Mitchell setting the standards, have heard it all now

KK I'm not taking a shot, just commenting that the science behind it has been shown not to replicate. They may well do it, but that may not be what's driving their success.

Yep, right. Wtf would I know. He only coached me for half the season.

Think you’ve all missed the point Kk has made. As a coach who has taken over multiple teams who finished last the year before and taken them to finals (one winning) in the space of only one season this kind of thing is the first change I make.

It’s not about sports science. It’s not about fitness. It’s about attitude. Hands on knees is the easy option. If you’ve done the hard yards. Stand tall. Be proud and help your mates. It’s not good enough to put your hands on your knees. Have seen first hand how this type of ideology can seriously shift attitudes and being teams together. You want players to be subconsciously ok with taking the hard option. Too many take the easy option. Without even realising. Too many excuse them for it.


From the weekend I saw plenty of it from Carlton players. None from the lions. I saw plenty of Carlton players leaving their mates one out. Letting their mates get pushed around. No one flew the flag. I don’t give a **** if you don’t like sam Mitchell this is what he’d help to stamp the **** out and it’s a ****ing cancer at our club.

Would be better than the D Word thread!

blasphemy!

ST i have done a fair bit of coaching, i am not having a go at the concept of "hands on head, versus hands on knees". My statement was based around Mitchell setting standards, as a whole.

it was the hands on knees stuff that worried me - we are finished as a club

Wouldn't rate Mitchell who was a Premiership Captain, 4xPremiership player, 3x All Australian, 5x BnF, 1x Brownlow Medal winner to be setting standards? Can I ask why?

Yeah my bad. Mistook your comment.
