CARLTON vice-captain Andrew Carrazzo says the Blues are ready to put new coach Mick Malthouse's game plan into action.

While beaten by Brisbane in the NAB Cup grand final, Carrazzo said the side knows what Malthouse requires ahead of Thursday night's Round 1 clash with Richmond.

"I think we're a fair way advanced,'' Carrazzo said.

"Ask any coach and any team throughout the year, there's going to be slight little days where they regress a little bit and they've got to adjust things.

"We played plenty of good footy throughout the NAB Cup, that last game against Brisbane we like to think was a bit of an aberration.

"We've had two weeks to fix some of the things that happened and some of the way we played.

"We've had a good block of training in the last week and a half and I speak for everyone in saying we can't wait to get into it on Thursday night.''

Carrazzo conceded he was disappointed to be overlooked for the Carlton captaincy in favour of Marc Murphy.

"For sure, and I know Kade (Simpson) was as well,'' Carrazzo said.

"Now we look forward to becoming a tight unit and I think you look at all the good teams in the past, especially really successful ones, they've had a group of five or six leaders who really feed off of each other, who really support each other.

"You're not going to be able to be best on ground every week, you're not going to be able to be up and about every week so it's important that we support each other and give each other the necessary backing.

"All five of us in the leadership group put our hands up for it, from a personal point of view it's an amazing honour to be named vice captain.

"I know it sounds corny, but I barracked for Carlton my whole life, started as rookie so it's a bit surreal being named vice captain.''

Carrazzo said he could "possibly'' do a tagging role on Trent Cotchin on Thursday night.
