...and thats why we need to change the culture of the place. Everyone is too focused on themselves and not enough on the team.

Juddy said, and i agree, that we signs of that towards the end of last year. So much so that it played a part in him agreeing to play on.

What has changed?
Why did it change?
When can we get it back...and improve it further?
How do you get it back and improve it?

I know the answer and it won't be popular.

The players will only disintigrate further whilst the future is uncertain. 

You would have to speak candidly one on one with the playing group, and find out where they are at in regards to the coach, their future and their teamates.

You will never get 44 blokes to all get along, but they need to start acting like they are a family. 

That means setting the head of the household right.  If the majority are behind Malthouse then you would have to make a statement and sign him up immediately sending the message you are either with him or you are out.

Vice versa,  if the majority are against him you can placate them all again one on one and simply state that they will need to put their best foot forward to impress the next bloke coming in, or even to ensure their future at Carlton. 

You can't really put them on notice they will simply play for themselves and the environment seems miserable enough already.

As a side plot I think we need to encourage the guys to do some team building with the fans.  If we can't perform on the pitch mamaybe they can kick some goals off it, by working with some under privileged parts of our society.  They might appreciate what they have that little bit more for it.

Sad it's come to this really.
