Did the Dingley presser yesterday.

Did the Dingley presser yesterday.

Is he our most marketable player? Kick 60 goals this year and he definitely will be

Big, strong, key forward who kicks goals, good looking rooster....marketing dream

CJ is our most marketable player for mine. Kids absolutely love him. Saw heaps of kids wearing CJ stuff at games this year - some of it even looked home made.

Yeah came to say this. CJ is arguably our most marketable player since Cyril.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Probably the most important player on our list, just hope to see him play 20+ games.

In his latest interview Mitchell said that playing all 22 games is his main focus for 2023.

I reckon if the can go close to that goal and kick 60+ goals (which he should if he plays that many games) we are a sneaky chance of making the finals.

Yep, I'll take CJ, especially from a young supporter point of view.

Reckon if Mitch can take a step up and kick 60 next year, he'll be a favourite with the corporates.

Sic already has it.

I know he does but he looks like pressing his case in the coming years

1. CJ
2. Newcombe
3. Lewis
4. Sicily
5. Moore


Moore might be the most normal looking bloke of the bunch without the flashy tricks to use in highlight packages, but people are beginning to notice his pure talent and once the general public hears him speak on important things (Beyond Blue, Pride round) they'll fall in love with him like us nuffies have.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Hope he can play 20 games in 2023, durability is a concern, don't think he has ever played more than 15.

If Nash really starts to impose himself on games, he will very quickly become one or our most marketable. Very articulate and personable with a Luke Hodge kind of country boy vibe.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

I'd be shocked if Sicily & Mitch weren't captain & vice captain.

Both speak well, both are vocal on the track and game day and present themselves within game and are very physical.

Both absolute guns too, add into them with say Worpel, Moore & maybe some younger lads like Ward, Day, Newcombe? (future) and older lads Wingard, Breust as a leadership group.

She's on track.

 

[Brant]

She's on track.

Is she?

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Is she?

Haha, idk why i say it but i do, IT'S on track then x

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Stevie J has put together his top 25 Forwards in the comp. He clearly rates Lewis.


13. Mitch Lewis (Hawthorn)
Role: Key forward
Strengths: Competitive streak, workrate

Can seriously play. I have been known to tell players to watch this bloke go about his business. He is the most underrated forward in the comp. Crashes packs, kicks goals and just a very smart footballer. Sam Mitchell will be desperate to get the 24-year-old back on the park soon.

I think Mitch's best attribute as a key forward are his hands and kicking.

They are almost Stewy Lowe like in their vice like grip and he is a great kick for goal.

Very traditional attributes for a key forward relative to Kozzy who seems to kick his goals from every other method than the traditional lead, mark as kick.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

I think he's the most important player at our club in terms of both short and long-term success.

 

[matey]

The day that we feel and don’t lose confidence going into games if Mitch is injured …… our list is complete!

[threesixpio]

Don’t get me wrong - classy midfielders and gritty defenders get me happy

But a clunking mark tall forward ..it’s what footy is all about

Love ML

 

[Siri]

In his press conference today, Sam Mitchell said the issue with his other knee is still apparent. Pushed the return date out to Rounds 7 or 8, as opposed to 6 or 7. There's been enough said about ML, but this is so frustrating.
