But the 200cm ruckman/forward and occasional wingman seems to have benefited greatly from Captain Jonathan Brown’s return which has given him greater freedom to play further up the ground.
Clark dominated against the Crows last Sunday at AAMI Stadium with 24 disposals, eight marks, six tackles and two goals which earned him a team-high 120 Dream Team points for Round 10.
He was also attributed with two goals assists and gave countless second and third efforts - although those statistics are not included in AFL Dream Team totals.
But Clark wasn’t alone in accumulating big individual Dream Team scores last Sunday with Matthew Leuenberger (111 points), Pearce Hanley (111), Simon Black (110) and Daniel Rich (106) all cracking the ton.
The overall Lions leaderboard with regards to total Dream Team points remains relatively unchanged with Jack Redden (936 points) maintaining his lead over Jed Adcock (863 points) who moved into second place ahead of the injured Tom Rockliff.
Meanwhile, Joel Patfull and Daniel Rich continue to dominate the AFL Dream Team competition off-the-field, with their respective teams among the higher ranked sides in the Lions’ Group.
Of the ten participating Lions players, Patfull and Rich remain the only ones ranked in the top half - with around 650 fans registered in the League.
‘Spaceballs’ - coached by Adam - has kept top spot for a second consecutive week ahead of Nathan’s ‘albertproudftw’, while 'bradpitt FC' has moved into third.
It was also a big week for JDs Lions - coached by Jess - who had the fifth highest score for Round 10 which helped her move into fourth position overall.
But the highest score for the Round was reserved for Cheyne’s ‘Cloke’n’mirrors’ - one of the top teams in the Lions League from 2010 - who scored a whopping 2,323 this week.
