Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn: Mitchell Lewis. Extended to 2026!

[Mitchell Madness]

I've seen him crash several packs. He just doesn't do it as often as he could. That's the point.

Every player is capable of it, I'm just pointing out that he's never really been that player

Maybe you were in the dunny on the occasions he has done it.

He does it occasionally.

Players who are known for it do it far more regularly than Lewis.

This is exactly my point. Why is this so hard to understand??

Lewis looks unimposing, out there. Almost insipid.

Happy for him to prove me wrong. Go Lewis!

 

[Roddy]

Yep, he just did it again...

 

[Billyc]

Lewis looks unimposing, out there. Almost insipid.

His effort drops off completely when his confidence is low. Barely getting out of a jog at the moment

Hamstring injury? 4-8 I’m assuming. Wonder whether he was already feeling the tightness and hence holding himself back. Really disappointing. I guess it means Rama will come in with Chol.

 

[SSSSSS]

He needs to play CHF. Get him on his bike and let him use his tank which is his strength.

He isn't quick enough to beat people on a lead or strong enough to beat people in a wrestling match as a FF.

 

[NewkTheLot]

No more hanging out on end of season trips with the Lions Mitch, they’re clearly unlucky!

Seriously though, he needs to take the time to get right. This season is a write off, we need our spearhead to be fit going forward rather than spending a heap of time on the sidelines.

 

[Buckemenico]

So disappointing. Never been able to play more than 15 games in a year.

 

[Roddy]

Chol's proving a very solid stopgap, train Rammer up to be a tall forward/backup ruck and wait for Calsher....

 

[Cleavy]

according to Herald Sun, he has a hamstring injury.

 

[brew]

Time to move him on and figure something else out.

Pointless relying on a player that plays 5-6 good games a season and is either injured or average for the other games.

O’meara vibes

Sadly, this is a rinse and repeat of every season.

Can we move you on?

 

[brew]

Can we move you on?

How about no… and give me some of your opinions?

I’m pretty sure you’re one of the forums soy boys though

 

[Fluro Boots]

Sucks that Mitch got injured, but lI'm ooking forward to seeing Ramma

 

[burger09]

He was carrying injury before today. Could be an injury created by playing through injury.

"He's not injury prone"

ha , ha. Those were the days.

 

[cryptor]

Just a rolled hamstring

 

[Sixpence]

How about no… and give me some of your opinions?

I’m pretty sure you’re one of the forums soy boys though

WTF is a soy boy?

 

[Roddy]

WTF is a soy boy?

It's a go-to vacuous insult for whiny man-babies deluded enough to believe they're 'alpha males'....

 

[The Kipster]

It is unfortunate for him to get injured, however, his intensity all year has been at an all time low IMO. He has promised a lot but the pendulum is swinging swiftly the other way.

 

[Linda CRS]

He’s going somewhere else at the end of 2024 the way he’s playing. Never seen a player so disinterested, bloody shame he’s a leader in a young group.
