He’s got A grade potential if he stays on the park.
He was 8th in the comp for average goals in 2023 off a very limited prep.

Bragging about having s**t knowledge of footballers from other teams? On a football forum no less?

Relax, he's just a Hawk scrub. Wake me up when he accomplishes somethin.

2007 called
They want Port Adelaide back
They want Port Adelaide back
He is still a very long way from being a "great" player.
He has played 66 games. And kicked 120 goals.
Pfffft.
ATS, he just serviceable.
When you say one of the Premier forwards in the AFL , are you thinking top 12 ?
Port players with a higher goal average than Lewis in 2023: 0
Port players with a higher goal average than Lewis in 2022: 0
Maybe if Port had more scrubs like Lewis, you wouldn't keep crapping the bed in September?
He's been 6th and 8th for goal average in the comp over the last 2 years, playing in a poor team with no other decent key forward (meaning double and triple teaming). His injury affected games also brought his goal average back - after leading the Coleman early in '22 (before injury#1) and having the highest goal average up to Round 15 (before injury#2)
His main barrier has been staying on the park (which is a big barrier as he has never played more than 15 games).

We finished H&A 3rd top. You were third bottom. We're going okay, we will go again, have another run at finals. Wake me up when your crack-occasionally-playing-forward crack the 8.
That jokes been done , yeh?
Such hilarious lip from someone who supports a club that is a full two decades out from their last, and one and only flag.
(Just quietly, we have 4 since then)

'Lip'. lol. You don't like facts about last season, as opposed to stuff that happened years ago, 8 years, in the case of your last flag. But keep living in the distant past if that's all you've got for leverage. Hilarious stuff
To me, Larkey has been an A grader for the last 2-3 years and he is just about the best tall forward in the comp. He just suffers from playing in a struggling , low profile club.
Mitch has talent but also has a long way to go
Barry Hall averaged 1 goal a game when left the Saints aged 25.
Tall forwards can take a while to develop.

Assuming both were fully fit, I'd take Lewis over Larkey.
I think people underestimate how good Lewis can be. Even now, outside of Sicily, he is easily the best and most influential player at Hawthorn.
He can take a strong contested mark, can tackle, plays hard and looks like he can turn things on and be a match-winner. Unfortunately, his body keeps letting him down which is of course a major concern. But if he can on top of that, no reason why he wouldnt be one of the top 3 or 4 key forwards in the game over the next couple of years.

They can, and almost always do.
But anyone ascribing "greatness" to what we have seen so far of ML, is using the adjective in a very loose manner.
Name is literally in the title you plonker.
And if you don't know who he is what are you even doing on this forum.

Irony is not your strong suit. Nor logic. You'll fit in well around here.

Just a bit disappointing that someone who has been on this site since 2002 thinks that saying 'who?' is clever and ironic...
