LUKE Power has added to a bulging trophy cabinet by winning the AFL Players' Association's Madden Medal today.

The medal is awarded to the retiring player who has demonstrated on-field excellence, personal development and growth, as well as community spirit over the course of their playing career.

Power retired at the end of the season after playing 302 matches with Brisbane and GWS, including the Lions' three premierships from 2001-03.

"Not too many players retire with three premiership medals, 300 games and the accolade of captaincy at two different clubs," AFLPA CEO Matt Finnis said.

"The respect he has earned from teammates across the board is testament to his endeavour, values and selfless approach to footy.

The work he has done for his fellow players has been exceptional and having worked closely with Luke during his role as a delegate, board member and eventually the President of the AFL Players Association. I can say he is one of the most impressive individuals I have come across in this game. "
