Captain Marc Murphy says talk of a rebuild at Carlton is not having an impact on the players as the Blues continue their miserable start to the season.

After losing to a previously winless Brisbane Lions at Etihad Stadium, the spotlight has turned squarely on Carlton, which has notched just one win this season.

Club president Mark LoGiudice has already stated the Blues are in a rebuilding phase, with Murphy and fellow No.1 pick Bryce Gibbs being suggested as possible trades at the end of the season.

Saying that many players had endured a sleepless night on Sunday after the Lions defeat, Murphy denied the speculation of another list overhaul had affected the players.

"WE'VE BOTTOMED RIGHT OUT"

"The playing group as a whole isn't focused on rebuilding, we can't draft anyone in at the moment or get some other players in," he said on Monday.

"We've got the list here that I believe in, and the group that's worked really hard over the pre-season.

"Unfortunately at the moment it's not happening for us, but we can try to change it around by working hard and working hard together,  and that's the only way we're going to get out of it."

LoGiudice's comments came after the Blues' round two loss to West Coast, where they were thrashed by 69 points.

Murphy didn't say whether the senior players were surprised by the president's words so early in the season, but threw his support behind the Blues list.

AFTER THE SIREN: ROUND SIX

"The way in which we played against West Coast, I think everyone was pretty frustrated with what happened then. But the rebuild, from a player's point of view, it doesn't really register with the players," he said.

"We've got a lot of good young players here who I believe can be 10-year players at the footy club. It doesn't faze me whatsoever."

Gibbs also fronted the media, noting his five-year commitment to Carlton last season and Murphy's four-year deal (which expires at the end of 2018) highlighted the pair's desire to be with the Blues for the long haul.
