CARLTON draftee Blaine Boekhorst has been given the nickname of 'Tweet' and you don't need to guess why.





Meeting new coach Mick Malthouse is tough in itself but Boekhorst, pick No.19 in this year's NAB AFL Draft, approached his first day at the Blues with more trepidation than usual.





The 21-year-old's first task was to seek out Malthouse and clear the air after his misguided tweet earlier this year after the Blues' 34-point loss to Collingwood in round seven.





"How can Carlton kick 1.5 in a half? Disgusting display of footy!" Boekhorst tweeted.





"The whole Carlton team need to go or Mick (coach Mick Malthouse) does."













Ever one to teach his young players a lesson, Malthouse let the athletic midfielder stew all morning before addressing the incident with Boekhorst.





"He's got a new nickname and it's called 'Tweet,'" Malthouse said with a chuckle on Monday morning.





"He (Boekhorst) said to me, 'Now, I want to talk to you. Can I talk to you pre-training?'





"And I thought, no, I'll let him cook for a little while longer."





A regretful Boekhorst, from Swan Districts in the WAFL, said he and Malthouse were on good terms.





"He's taken it pretty well. We'll just put it behind us, make a little laugh out of it," Boekhorst said.





"It's not the best thing to go into a club, but I guess it's a good little ice-breaker for the boys.





"I think 'Tweeter' might stick for a while."





Malthouse made his view of social media clear.





"I love that stuff. It's just a great education – don't tweet," Malthouse said.
