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

[cryptor]

Horrible run of injuries for him, his such a what if player. Has the club managed him poorly this year? His second to the ball at every contest and can’t run out full strides like of old… maybe Lewis needs to change the way he plays, short leadup and become a 120kg power forward, but it means we have to hold a true key forward that can’t defend. (You can only hold one of these players and but can net 50 goals a year)

Unfortunate year now and I’m not sure the club has managed it that well.

Hopefully the saving grace here is he can get his body right over the off season. Club should be sending a please explain to the afl and the head collision with Lewis, such a joke.

His biggest asset is his athleticism. His ability to run 15km in a game and jump on packs.

Increasing his playing weight would nullify those advantages and put extra load on his knee.

If anything he needs to drop a few from the upper to lower

How mentally hard will this be for Mitch? 14 weeks out, worked back in and now out again. Poor fella. Hope they get around him, and sure they will.

Few rounds on the links will make him feel better

Get him in surgery now and return early next year.

 

[MrPremiership]

Poor bloke. Horrible for him.

 

[hawkman]

Was it the same knee he did the partial tear of the ACL last year?

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Far out, poor fella can't take a trick

That’s a quick turn around for a ACL takes about a year mostly look at Ashcroft.

At least it’s the same knee I guess only positive so he can get it all fixed properly,
and come back even stronger.

Absolutely gutted for Mitch.

March-April should be 9-10 months. We will hopefully have a good idea around then

Sucks but hopefully after this the band aid is off fully and he can get over the partial tear stuff.

 

[smish]

Get ****ed

 

[HawthornHawk]

ffs

Was it the same knee he did the partial tear of the ACL last year?

Yep

Edit: apparently not. Saying it was the opposite knee

 

[Sturty]

Can't believe this

 

[Hodginator]

One of the most unlucky blokes in the game.

 

[Mopar Jason]

Devastating news for Mitch, If I felt flat after the game on the weekend I now feel numb.

Yeah you would be looking around the bye rounds next year at best. Big guys can take longer. Giorgiades was a full year and took another 6 weeks to get close to good form

First and foremost you just have to feel gutted for Mitch but have to wonder if that left ACL was not fully healed even with his awkward landing against the Cats.

Who was it here that posted the bracing technique for ACL tears? Found the whole thing very interesting. Might be worth seeing if Newmo89 could somehow pass it on to someone at the HFC as an option. I'm sure they'd know of it but it never hurts passing this info around.

Edit: Here's the link for anyone interested in taking there mind off this crappy news

The 'left field' treatment that healed my torn ACL naturally

After three months in a knee brace as part of a research trial, my anterior cruciate ligament healed itself. This novel program could revolutionise the way ACL tears are treated.
