Lowther on the Focus Against Carlton

They are a strong contested team.

I went and watched them in their first practice match this year and from the start they were strong around the footy, great at ground balls and their tackle pressure through the midfield was good.

They have a really good combination around the midfield that have a strong output, so we need to be on our game in that battle.

Obviously with their tall players too, they are pretty formidable down forward. Watching the vision over the past couple of weeks they are adaptable and strong, so we have to be on our game this week.
