Following Carlton's loss to Adelaide on Saturday night, Ross Lyon said during his time coaching he would make sure his side wouldn't become complacent when coming up against teams that were expected easy wins.
He said he'd question himself and the coaching staff to make sure the players were in the mindset to play their strongest football.

Joey Montagna chimed in, backing that when he was coached by Lyon, his coach would make sure the team was still ready to compete hard.
