AFL writer Nathan Schmook has named the AFL Team of the Week for Round 23 and three Lions have made the cut:
In his final game for the club, Jed Adcock was named as a top 22 half-forward, while ruck man Stefan Martin capped an outstanding year with one his his finest performances. Pearce Hanley was also back to his best.
PEARCE HANLEY (Half-Back) - A star in the midfield against the Western Bulldogs, Hanley is squeezed onto a half-back flank this week for balance. He had 35 possessions, seven clearances and booted two goals, including a smart banana snap out of a stoppage.
JED ADCOCK (Half-Forward) - Would have proved to himself he can keep playing after kicking four goals against the Western Bulldogs. Kicked magnificently in his last game with the Lions and had 21 possessions.
STEFAN MARTIN (Follower) - The outstanding ruckman in round 23, Martin was dominant both at stoppages and around the ground with 50 hit-outs and 32 possessions. He had an equal team-high eight clearances and seven inside 50s in a complete performance.
