One young Lions player who really looks to have shored up his position in the senior team after a solid pre-season campaign is former rookie Mitch Golby.

Playing predominantly across half-back, Golby has been among the Lions’ better players in each of the team’s NAB Cup outings and looks to be a steal in this year’s AFL Dream Team competition.

The 20 year-old, who was officially elevated to the Club’s senior list at the end of 2011, has achieved scores of 100, 73 and 94 in the Lions’ three full-length pre-season matches.

He finished the pre-season as the Lions’ highest scoring defender, while his average of 89 points per game was bettered at the Club only by proven Dream Team midfield stars Tom Rockliff (averaged 105 points across two full matches), Jack Redden (averaged 100 points across three full matches) and Simon Black (averaged 97 points across two full matches).

Golby also topped the Lions’ tally during last Saturday’s match with 94 points - courtesy of his 21 disposals, eight marks and four tackles.

Pearce Hanley was the team’s next best with 84 AFL Dream Team points, while Daniel Rich and Jack Redden each finished with 76 points.

Prospective Dream Team coaches should also be taking a serious look at both Jared Polec ($215,800) and ruckman Billy Longer ($148,200) who present great value and should see plenty of game time.

Polec collected 19 disposals against the Bombers last Saturday at Visy Park, while Longer could find a place up forward in Brown’s absence after booting four goals in the past two matches.
