TIGERS coach Terry Wallace has earmarked defenders Ray Hall and vice-captain Joel Bowden as the men to subdue in-form Carlton full-forward Brendan Fevola tomorrow at Telstra Dome.
Fevola, who heads the league's goalkicking with 77 goals from 19 matches, kicked eight goals against Hawthorn last week before leaving the ground late in the final quarter with concussion.
Wallace said he had been working on a match-up for Fevola all week.
"Last time around we played Ray Hall on him and he did a reasonable job," Wallace said.
"Joel Bowden has been playing those sort of roles over the last couple of weeks so you would expect that the role would come from those two players and we hope that they can do the job."
But Wallace's focus is not just on the Blues' spearhead.
"We obviously know that he's in great form and that he's kicking over a third of their general score," Wallace said.
"But we also know that they've got some other forwards that are very, very dangerous.
"We found that out first-hand last year (Round 18) when we played them in a similar game and they had blokes step up and kick multiple goals on us early in the game.
"So Brendan is one player that you need to look after, but you certainly have another five down there."
The Tigers have named the same side that beat Brisbane at the Gabba last week.
