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

[Judd2Sewell]

I imagine Dear will make way for him.

I'd love to see Chol, Lewis and Dear in the same side though. I wonder if we could play them plus Gunston?

Geelong will have Henry, Kolo, Stewart and maybe Blicavs/SDK (if not rucking) playing defensive roles. We could have a real advantage there with all four.

Comes back in for dear against Geelong.

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Definitely not a lock.
He's a chance.

Lock!!!!!!

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Definitely lock , stock, rocked and three smoking barrels to come in to play against Geelong.

It'll be good for Chol - who will play his best footy for us when he's got a strong KPF in the line up with him.

 

[SpanishBrowne]

is it a divine sign that last game was against geelong, and his next game will (very likely) be against geelong?

please tear them apart.

agree LP. However, they did not seem to work well together earlier in the year. Chol has a better understanding of our game now and perhaps Lewis was playing injured at the time, but I don't think it is a given the paring works immediately. Bloody hope so though as it is a delicious thought.

I would think not a lot was working at the time.

Your second sentence explains the first sentence perfectly well. I don't think there's really a basis for the "maybe they don't work well together" hypothesis

 

[lethalselbow]

You'd expect Lewis back in the seniors to play Geelong. Great work by the club, building his fitness and confidence at Box Hill, and not panicking and rushing him back.

 

[Roddy]

Will never forget him kicking the winner against the handbaggers a few years ago.....

Was that the game the commentator was calling out for a free kick against for time wasting?

Didn’t he hurt his hamstring running and kicking that goal.

No that was the story to make it seem juicier but he'd run into barrier earlier that game.

 

[lethalselbow]

Some of those highlights. A few changes to the team since 2022.

Arrr ok cool

 

[lethalselbow]

Injured again??

 

[theiaofseed]

Injured again??

Concussion

 

[MasterSamurai]

His right knee went completely buckling under him as he got collected. A worry for mine.

Not even because it was his bad knee, it would’ve done the same damage to anyone, looked bad live, especially considering he also got KO’d with blood out of his head. Cannot catch a break.

 

[TylerDurden]

Having scans for a medial ligament. Would be the season if torn.

Atleast then he can get it sorted but hope not, poor bloke

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

How the hell did 4 umpires miss the head contact. Umpiring is in great shape apparently.

If that the case his gone for about 8-12 months isn’t he, let’s hope not.

MCL is 6 months, ACL 12. (Full tear and surgery worst case)
