The Lions midfielder collected 26 disposals, took 10 marks and laid five tackles against the Western Bulldogs last Sunday which earned him a team-high 126 points for the round.
With Brown a late withdrawal from the match, Rischitelli’s effort has catapulted him 133 points clear in first place on the Club’s overall Dream Team points leaderboard.
Vice-Captain Luke Power has moved into second place while Brown has dropped to third.
Tom Rockliff was among the top performers for the third consecutive week, collecting 104 points to finish third for the round behind Rischitelli (126) and housemate Jack Redden (105).
Off the field, Stephen Linton’s ‘TruthOrConsequence’ is proving a dominant force. He has not only maintained his position on top of the Lions Group ladder but shot further ahead courtesy of a whopping 2,541 points - the most of any registered Lions Dream Team.
However, CheyneB Brooke’s ‘Cloke’n’mirrors’ produced the third highest score for the round (2,461) to remain just 74 points behind first place.
There was also some significant movement among the actual Lions players’ teams.
Jed Adcock’s team has slipped back to 257th while Justin Sherman has remained steady for the past couple of weeks in the high 400s.
Ash McGrath’s team - ‘Boonj’s Bandits’ - have been big movers of late after a slow start to the season. McGrath has moved up more than 50 spots in the past fortnight to 513th and has Sherman’s side in his sights.
Registered Dream Teamers must remember to check their teams prior to the Round 13 lockout at 7:30pm this Friday night. REMINDER: Coaches won’t have the chance to amend their teams next week due to the AFL Split Round.
