Anybody that doesn't hate their physical trainer has never had a decent one. They love to be hated and unless you hate them they make you work until you hate them.
They live and breathe hate.

And when you outrun and outlast someone after 100 minutes on the footy field, rowing course, track, square ring or velodrome, you love them and they hate that so they make you work even harder.

So your saying they love Buttifant then

Menz murph Judd Simmo Kreuzer cripps rainbow Jamo carrots Sheahan byrne whiley Hendo all off the top of my head with soft tissue injuries this year.

It's only round 9.

Sort of wish Buttifant walked with Mick.

The hamstring twangs are about the norm, but there's been quite a spate of calf injuries at our club.

ACLs are on the rise again too; more running in footy again.

Pre-buttifant we had silly amounts of ligament injuries, so I'll take this if it means long-term performance gains that we've been lacking since early on in Cordy's reign.

There is no scientific basis to back this statement up. Resistance training doesn't slow you down.

Our players are weak, they need to hit the gym and hit it hard. Compare us to every other team. Almost all of our players have no muscle and look to be carrying too much puppy fat, look at the arms, shoulders and chests of our players against their opponents.

We should employ those guys who were on Redesign My Brain season 2 ep 1. (Both the Ex Army guy and the guy from the AIS that had Todd doing the milk bottle test).

We need mental and physical strength. Both have been missing for too long at Carlton.

The players were tiring very early in the season. Not sure what the pre season plan was but you would think running was important in a game like football.

Buttifant to Mick after Round 2 - "Shit, I forgot about running"

Some of them put on 5 kilos, mostly in the upper body. Not sure where you're getting your info from but it was the right strategy at the time, and we looked good.

Then suddenly, the game changed (sub rule) and we didn't change fast enough with it. We're 2 seasons behind almost every other club.

Your assumption re: resistance training assumes that the exercises are functionally relevant to the tasks being performed. That's where I think Cordy [REDACTED] up.

this is what i said pre season " i want to see daisy spew up at training sick of watching him laugh joking with other players doing fancy shots at goal ".We dont train hard enough and as for gym work look at the bodies of our players over the years they never changed.gibbs v jobe watson koozer uper body, bell should be rock solid, warnock v sandilands we have weak bodys in our team, then we recruit whiley as a midfielder compare his physique to say cripps from the ferals, Bring on pre season...

You have interesting tastes, pew.

He's right, though.
At Richmond, years ago, they used to train until Hafey spewed and by then all the players had because Hafey was so fit he was last to spew.
Talk bout training on a wet track. It must have been as bad as the dugout in the MLB with all the spittle lying about in puddles.

I think Eddie Betts 's apparent new shape says it all. He looks leaner and fitter than he ever was with us.

That bit resonates a bit with me. Many, many years ago I played footy in a country league under an ex-Carlton 1968 premiership player. He was of the opinion that I could harden up a bit and regularly told the team that we were going to keep doing wind sprints at training "until NTBlue spews." The coach believed (correctly) that we were less skillful than other teams and therefore had to be fitter and tougher to be successful. His strategy was right - we won the premiership the next year, we were fit and I didn't spew - not until day 3 of the celebrations anyway!

Buttifant and Betts were never at the club at the same time

You REALLY want to use Jobe Watson as a comparison ???

Buttifant is a Mick lacky, delist

Back on port power, somebody please explain to me how they went from an absolute once in a generation, freak running machine to team of plodders

Drugs

How did we go from a side that was cooked halfway through the second quarter to running out games?
