Carlton coach Mick Malthouse will counsel Mitch Robinson, imploring the hard-nut midfielder to curb some elements of his natural aggression.

Robinson on Tuesday accepted a two-match ban for a high bump on Leigh Adams, his third suspension of the AFL season.

“It’s something we have to address. The club want him playing football, the supporters want him to play,” Malthouse told radio station FIVEaa.

“He has to adjust, the competition isn’t going to adjust for him.

“He has to adjust to what the rules are.

“We’ll be addressing that over the next few weeks, he’s got time to think about it – put it that way.”

Robinson was booked for striking St Kilda’s Jack Newnes and Collingwood midfielder Taylor Adams in rounds eight and 15 respectively.
