Power gets top points for Lions
Vice-Captain Luke Power’s mighty performance against the Western Bulldogs earned him more Dream Team points than any Lions player last weekend.
Power amassed 31 disposals, took six marks and laid a couple of tackles to score a team-high 110 points.
His Round 4 score keeps him in third place overall at the Club in total points (387), narrowly behind top ranked Jonathan Brown (460) and Michael Rischitelli (404).
Power edged out Jared Brennan for this week’s honours by two points - or the equivalent of just one handball.
Brennan has proven a Dream Team dynamo so far in 2010. He has scored in excess of 100 points in each of his three games including 108 against the Bulldogs last Saturday night.
His average of 116 points per game is now the highest of any Lions player, overtaking Brown whose averaged dropped to 115 after a Round 4 score of 87.
Also impressive is the form of Julie Johnstone who remains on top of the Lions’ Dream Team competition for the second consecutive week.
Her team ‘Stripes’ have scored 8,461 across the first four matches and are the early favourites to take home the first prize at season’s end.
‘Packie’s Penguins’ (coach by Randy Munzel) had the highest score for the round with 2,217 points.
Meanwhile, Lions players Justin Sherman and Jed Adcock are making their moves up the Dream Team Group leaderboard.
Out of the 1,100 online participants in the Lions' league, Adcock went up a further five spots to 71st overall to remain within striking distance of the leaders while after a shaky start, Sherman has risen more than 150 places over the past fortnight to 459th overall.
Registered Dream Teamers must remember to check their teams prior to the Round 5 lockout at 7:30pm this Friday night.
