CARLTON midfielder Mitch Robinson says the Blues will play a much more team-focused game under new coach Mick Malthouse.

The Blues started last year as one of the premiership favourites before crashing out of the top eight and sacking coach Brett Ratten.

Robinson said a two-week trip to Arizona late last year focused on team-bonding and learning Malthouse's system.

"There are definitely improvements we see in there," Robinson said.

"It is not so much an individual game any more, we are not going to be relying on the Chris Judds and Marc Murphys, it is going to be more a team structure, which is exciting.

"Those boys were pretty much doing all the grunt work and once the load is spread I think we will see a better result for the team.

"Last year we lost a few top players but coming into this year we've got a new coach and a new coaching staff, there is a lot of good vibe around the club.

"We wanted to finish top four last year and we'll see how we go this year."

Robinson, 22, now has 67 games under his belt and is aiming to spend more time in the midfield, but also in different roles as Malthouse seeks more flexibility.

"He (Malthouse) is definitely hard, down the line ... but he can also be understanding and he wants to get to know all the players first of all," Robinson said.

"When the games start you will be able to see the strict Mick, but everyone is getting along really well with him.

"He's probably one of the smartest coaches I've had."
