Exciting stuff!! Expecting big things from Mitch Lewis after reading that.

Good read. Seems he’s been given the tap by Clarko to be ready to play more seniors this year.

 

[SuperSic]

Great read, it’s awesome to hear the way some of these young guys are really buying into our culture and striving to be better. Gives me great confidence for the future

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Not going on holiday is great. Been told to bulk up and be ready for rd 1

I hope I’m wrong but I don’t think Lewis will be best 22 next year just yet. If he can play 5-10 games in 2019 that will be a huge pass mark.

We need him to be a best 22 player by the end of the year.

I think he will be depending on Shoey's form, his only other rivial would be Nash and they don't play the same role( assuming Brand and TOB are set in defense) either way I'm just super excited about his potential. Tampered off at the end of the VFL season but he's got the goods

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I really like reading about how driven he is.

Can’t wait to see him in 2019.

 

[The Chad and I]

He will be the best KPF from his draft - taken at pick 76!

 

[Brant]

We need him to be a best 22 player by the end of the year.

For the right reasons

 

[Bardo State]

He seems hyper-professional from that article. He will definitely get opportunities if he can stay healthy. His VFL form compared to guys like McKay or Weideman gives me hope.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

The door is wide open for anyone who can take a grab to own a spot in our forward line.

 

[Hawks1994]

Love the commitment of the guy, the only tiny knock would be I hope he doesn't over-do the workrate. He is still growing into a big frame and I wouldn't want it to break down at any point

Will definitely be in line for more senior footy next year and with Rough coming to the end, his development is super important

 

[Badesumofu]

We need him to work as hard as he can to get himself ready to play regular senior footy. Beyond that - it takes as long as it takes and I'd guess 2020 is the year he becomes a regular. Hope to see him play a few games next year of course, but I think realistic expectations help and then we can all be even happier if he exceeds them.

 

[kazzooka]

Gunston is the only tall forward who should be guaranteed a spot next year. Rough to play as a guide to his successor but nash, Lewis and gunston should be the plan for 2020 - 2024 when gunston would be finishing up.

 

[Hodginator]

Seems like he really has his head screwed on straight. Good luck to him. Look forward to hopefully seeing him build up some more senior game time soon.

He has to be driven, one of our recruits is called walker, so that mode of transport is already taken.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Huge commitment he has made and I really hope we see him find a regular spot next year. For him to forego a holiday to try and fast track his development physically speaks volume of his willingness to make it in the big time. Was super impressed with his progress this season and I really hope he continues to build and can have a long and successful career. We are desperate for a strong KPF to replace Roughie and he has shown this season that he has the attributes required.

Grumble, things must be quiet in Tully 'cause that was a really lame joke.

I am not actually in Tully anymore but have been too lazy to change my location.

 

[Lethality]

There's not a lot ahead of him in terms of key position forwards at our club, so I'm hoping he becomes a regular at some stage next year. He literally just needs to present and bring the ball to ground. Anything apart from that is a bonus.

 

[Billyc]

Sounds weird but he’s one of the more important players on the list. We really need him to develop into a decent AFL footballer. We just don’t have anyone else coming through as a tall marking forward.

 

[KermitJagger]

Lewis always had talent, he was just very raw. He's a tremendous overall sportsman too - great cricketer and golfer.

You don't have an Under 18 game of 30+ touches, 10+ marks and 4 goals without being able to play.

 

[libbylou]

Why didn't he go to Kokoda?
