In a first for the Carlton website, CFC TV enlisted Blues midfielder Mitch Robinson to take you behind the scenes on the road as Carlton prepared for round one of the NAB Cup in Adelaide last weekend.

Rested for the round robin matches against Port Adelaide and Adelaide, Mitch turned his talent to behind the camera providing an exclusive look at life on the road for the Carlton players.

From relaxing in the Virgin lounge at Melbourne Airport prior to the flight to Adelaide, interviewing players on the flight, to enjoying a carb-fuelled pre-game dinner, Day 1 is about the preparation and includes thoughts from players about the make their Carlton debut the next day.  

Day 2, game day and Mitch catches up with Marc Murphy, Bryce Gibbs, Lachie Henderson and Patrick McCarthy as the boys enjoy their lunch at the team hotel before heading to the game.

As the team arrives at AAMI Stadium, Mitch gives viewers an exclusive look inside the change rooms and the team’s preparation before they run out on to the ground.

“Hopefully this video gives our fans and supporters, a bit of an idea of what it is like when we travel interstate for games,” Mitch said on viewing the finished product.

“For this trip we didn’t train in Adelaide so it was a little different to our normal routine. But there is always some downtime when we go on the road which gives us the opportunity to hang out and spend some time together, which is always good for building team unity,” added Mitch
