CARLTON football boss Brad Lloyd wishes the Blues had more of the aggro that has landed veteran Marc Murphy in hospital with suspected broken ribs.

Lloyd said he had no issue with the big hit from Greater Western Sydney ruckman Shane Mumford that took out Murphy in Sunday's disastrous loss.

Mumford is certain to be under match review scrutiny for the incident, with Michael Christian's findings to come on Monday afternoon but Lloyd wants Carlton's under-performing players to take note of the Giants ruckman''s attitude.

"Look, in some ways, that's the way you like footy to be played," Lloyd told SEN.

You don't like seeing players hurt, but I would have liked to have seen more physicality from us yesterday.

"I hope Murph's OK, but Mumford plays a pretty strong brand of footy that everyone's admired for a long period."

GWS mauled Carlton by 93 points to renew pressure on the Blues and their coach Brendon Bolton.

Lloyd wants Carlton to be tougher in the contest.

"We're not close enough, we need to work on a lot of things," he said.

"We need to be more brutal in the contest, we got smashed yesterday. We need to work really hard on our skill level, it's an area where we need to smash into it as a playing group."

Lloyd added that Bolton was far from the only person at Carlton under the pump.

The Blues are a game behind 17th-placed North Melbourne with only one win and Sunday's debacle comes a fortnight after they also suffered a poor loss to the Roos.

"A performance like yesterday, I think it spreads throughout the whole playing group and club," he said.

"Brendon (Bolton) comes under pressure but we all do ... it was very poor."
