While the forwards stole the glory in Saturday's runaway win over North Melbourne, co-captain Harris Andrews put together another strong performance to continue a fine start to his 2023.

After being outpointed by Charlie Dixon in round one, Andrews has been superb in the past month, in a patch of form – and yes, it's only a patch – equal to his All-Australian years of 2019 and 2020.

For all the stats heads, 'Chief' is averaging 18 disposals, 8 spoils and 7 intercept marks a game across the last month.

He has a nice balance of one-on-one defence and zoning off to take intercept marks, with his hands looking as assured as any time in the past few seasons.

With Jack Payne getting continuity and slowly settling in as his sidekick, Andrews had a match-high 10 intercept possessions to go along with 14 disposals at 92.9% disposal efficiency against the Kangaroos as he marshalled the Lions' backline to a second straight win.
