[2] Although a centreman originally, Lowenthal developed into a half back flanker where he was a strong mark overhead and had plenty of dash.
It was in that position that he was runner up at the 1933 Brownlow Medal count by just one vote to Wilfred "Chicken" Smallhorn.
He was unlucky as he had missed three games late in the season due to an ankle injury.
Lowenthal crossed to Fitzroy in 1937 and at the end of the season joined Victorian Football Association (VFA) club Preston.
