The players have signalled their intent by banning Mad Monday after ex-forward Brendan Fevola's antics last year.

The Blues will have a post-season review today before a quiet lunch tomorrow.


Big test for certain players this off-season.

They should really be having an extremely pissed-off Monday.

The whole playing and coaching group should be burning at that loss. I think this decision makes sense for a number of reasons.

Thats a good professional response to a devastating loss.

I think I smell leadership and commitment.

It's been missing for so long.

Exorcising the Fev demons once and for all.

Makes sense. Media would be sniffing around looking for any sign of Carlton players behaving badly.

Finally the blokes have a year where they can have a quiet drink without the media hounds circling them for a Fev story and they pull the pin! :lol:

Bloody good decision, too, let's hope it is a true sign of the desire burning within. :thumbsup:

Is there a footy trip this year? I know that Brad Scott has banned North from having one this year - Footy trips are for amateurs

I think a number of the boys are just going to turn up at the airport at the same time, get on the same plane, go to the same place, stay in the same hotel...

Incredible set of coincidences, really. You couldn't plan that sort of synchronicity.

Great idea in theory. In practice though I can see a gutter trash Hutchy/Howard/take your pick getting a photo of a few of the boys having a quiet schooner during today's 'lunch' and running with the 'Rookies ignore Judd' type headline. Rod for your own back making these sort of calls I reckon.
