According to the My Man Thread, it looks like amos will be one of the posters responsible for looking after Chief for us this season.

Take it away, amos!

Expect many an article about our uncompromising hard nut, Jordan Lewis, in 2007. Chief is set to make his mark. His early pre season form has been outstanding and he is training the house down. Personally, I'm expecting a breakout year in the 2005 Luke Hodge variety.

Exclusive to AFL BigPond Network
Entering his third AFL pre-season Jordan Lewis is fitter, trimmer and looking forward to 2007.

Lewis has been a stand out on the track during the Club’s pre-season training regime, recording personal best running times as he prepares for the rigors of a midfield role.

“Andrew Russell (fitness coach) developed a pre-season program for me with a focus on getting quicker and building my endurance,” Lewis said.

“Because I haven’t had any injuries or niggles I have been able to maintain my fitness since we started training in November.”

Jordan Lewis is ready for a pre-season. He hopes. Last week, the 18-year-old dragged his girlfriend out on a 50-kilometre bike ride and in the past month, he has joined an exclusive club, learning how to box in "The Shed", the garage gym frequented by ‘Bool boys Jonathan Brown, Matt Maguire and Brent Moloney when they return home.

Lewis was born in Warrnambool, where his mother's family has long lived and where his father moved at 16 for football. He grew up with two sisters who, until recently, proved tough to talk into backyard kick-to-kick.

Time flies for Hawk on the move

HAWTHORN’S Jordan Lewis says it feels like it’s taken no time to reach his 50-game milestone, which he’ll mark this weekend against Sydney at the SCG.

“It’s flown. We’ve been very lucky in our draft. Myself, Buddy (Lance Franklin) and Roughy (Jarryd Roughead) to get games early…it’s come up pretty quickly,” he says.

The 21-year-old from Warrnambool made his debut in round three, 2005 and received a NAB AFL Rising Star nomination in his debut season.

“We probably didn’t play that well early on but ‘Clarko’ stuck with us and gave us more games and it’s paying dividends now.”

Lewis says that of all of his teammates, he is closest to the players who joined him on his first day at Hawthorn.

“[Roughead and Franklin] are probably my two best mates at the club. Because you get drafted together and you don’t really know anyone, you get close to the guys that you get drafted with,” Lewis says.

Lewis’ midfield coach Todd Viney has been at the club since he joined and he believes that the former Melbourne player, who was known for his even temperament on the field, has been a good influence on him.

“I just try to suck every little bit of information that I can out of him. He lets us put our input in and then he gives us advice,” Lewis says of the former Demons skipper.

“Off the ground, I’ve an even temperament but on the ground I can be a little fiery at times. I try to control that.

“I think it’s just the competitive side of everyone that comes out when you step across that white line. Everyone wants to win and I think everyone will do a little bit extra to win.”

Lewis says Viney pulls no punches when it comes to assessing his performance.

“He’s pretty straight down the line, so he’ll tell you whether you’ve had a good or a bad game which is what you want from a coach. You don’t want a coach that tells you lies. He’s always been honest which has been really good for me,” Lewis says.

The rugged on-baller insists that at home, he is domestically superior to his housemate Campbell Brown, but that the two of them have different specialties when it comes to kitchen fare.

“My favourite to cook is honey soy chicken stir fry. He’s more the steak and veggies kind of guy. The night before a match, we’ll always have a spaghetti bolognese though,” Lewis says.

Just as before every game, the pair will have their usual pasta dish this Friday night before playing Sydney.

Lewis believes that having already beaten the premiers, the game against the Swans will be a real litmus test for the club.

“We’ve had a really good start to the season. We’ve had some really big challenges so far and we’ve been able to overcome them,” he said.

“We’re just taking it one week at a time. We’re solely focused on Sydney this week. We just want to get to the break and be on top of the ladder.”

Great stuff from the 'Chief'.

Hopefully he'll play another 300 good ones in the future!

Superstar.

i reckon lewis always thinks he has more time than he does, so he ends up getting himself under some pressure, and also i am not a big fan of his kicking, does anyone agree?

Added pain for Hawks

THREE key Hawthorn players face late starts to the 2008 season as Saturday night's semi-final defeat at the hands of the Kangaroos continues to reverberate.

Former skipper Shane Crawford, gun midfielder Luke Hodge and versatile Jordan Lewis were handed suspensions by the AFL match review panel yesterday following incidents from the game.
