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

[sven_inc]

Best memory of Grimely was his goal against St Kilda at Etihad.....pick up, blind turn, goal around the corner from 40m out.

Can't find the video.

Did very little at AFL level otherwise

edit - found video, 1.50 onwards

Jeez Grimley looked solid in those highlights. Hope Hodgey can show more on a more consistent basis!

I always thought Grimley was going to be similar to the type of player Hipwood is now... but better.

Really hoping that Mitch Lewis can bag 3x goals for Box Hill this week

Would prefer 4 to offset last week's 2...

Needs a bag of 5 or 6 to really announce himself

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Hawthorn's new No. 8 and possibly its tallest No. 8 ever.

No one deserves the 3 and 5 combination more

 

[RedmanWasHere]

No one deserves the 3 and 5 combination more

This too.

Also, a 3 is just an 8 cut in half while a 5 is an incomplete 8.

 

[MrPremiership]

We'll do well if he can come in and kick 30 goals this year.

Hawthorn's new No. 8 and possibly its tallest No. 8 ever.

5" on Rubber and 4" on Delicate, Heath and Anderson.

Staking his claim. I like.

Developing ML into a decent FF will make cry tears of joy

 

[Noel Gallagher]

When TL chose Richmond I was naturally disappointed but on the same hand really happy for ML.

Really hope he can play 4-6 games next year and become a egular in 2020. If both himself and kosi make the grade, we could have a couple of home grown book ends for the next 10 + years.

Imagine the hate meter if this happens...

Goo goo a joo

Developing ML into a decent FF will make cry tears of joy

And lots more ammunition for the #head*ed thread.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

His determination excites me.

Players who have talent, which he does, who also want to work as hard as they can, generally make it.

I just saw that this kid got given the number 8 jumper. Very surprising. They must have some serious faith in him to give him a single digit jumper after only a handful of senior games.

Has been said somewhere on here but I think it was some clever marketing thing, a play on names and numbers at the time of his recruitment Sam Mitchell (5) plus Taz Lewis (3) equals Mitchell-Lewis (8).
Waiting for him to become a star then Mitchell (Hodge) Lewis can claim the 15. Just joking.

 

[threesixpio]

I love calling him Hodgey. It has to be his nickname forever

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Man I hope his middle name is Grant or Jarryd.

TO got 23......

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

TO got 23......

So they obviously had faith in him.

Beat me to the punch. Spot on
