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

[heh]

I am still laughing.

Gold.

So Mitchell 'Elstone' Lewis wont make it???

 

[JADED]

Your club wins this off season... So much entertainment and this pick alone is so good you COULD NOT even script it if you tried, and here we are.
Has anyone confirmed this bloke exists?

I'm wondering that also, mate It would not surprise me if, by the time they had got around to our picks, most of the clubs had already started passing and had gone home so we could simply make up a name and the few that were left were none the wiser. At that late in the draft, we're talking about blokes who are kicking footballs around with their mates at the local park so it's not impossible a few names would sneak in that people hadn't heard before.

For everyone who trolled Graham Wright for trading out Mitchell and Lewis, this ones for you.

AFL: "Pick 76 - Hawthorn"

Graham Wright: "Player #12345 - Mitchell Lewis 'Mic Drop' - GW Out" !

 

[RobHawk]

Hawthorn nailed the draft in the final moments just like they nailed those 3 point wins through the season. As for a number for ML 44 would also work. It is the mean average of 35 and 53 and it abounds in 4, the number smack between 3 and 5.

It's even funnier because the kid wasn't on anyone's radar as a draftable kid. I spoke to a mate involved down at Calder and he has always been a ruckman, only just learning the craft as a forward. Wasn't an automatic selection at Calder, had to fight for game time.

Looks like the perfect project player, you'd think with his physique and body composition he could really excel in an environment like ours.

 

[Davo23]

Is there a player out there called "Lewis Mitchell"?
Put your hand up, son, we're coming after you!

This could have great possibilities.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Hopefully he can develop well at Box Hill over the next couple of years.

 

[Lsta062]

Haha I have to admit I laughed when I saw his name

Jordan Lewis jumper number - 3
Sam Mitchell jumper - 5
Mitchell Lewis jumper number - 8?

Think we'll leave him in 53

I'm pretty happy with the "types" we got - a tall and a half back. After getting two new Rolls Royce mids this is what we needed more of. Good luck to both of them. I would say the club is majorly keen on Pittonet stepping up and that Hodge Crawf Burgoyne Matthews Tuck Knights is the new project player

Hopefully Glass or Morrison can step up as half backs

Interesting that they are pushing Burton more and more into that role

 

[Lsta062]

Think we'll leave him in 53

YES

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

it's like we are seriously trolling the rest of the comp with this pick. It's hilarious.

Surely, wrighty and the boys would have seen the irony in this!

Anyway, here's hoping he comes up trumps.

 

[Frankston Rover]

Can he play?

Who cares?

 

[Books]

Brilliant move by Hawthorn .

We went from being irrelevant on draft night , to being the club everyone was talking about .

Any games this kid plays are a bonus. He is already worth his two year minimum contract .

Lol

 

[Gene Simmons]

I was gonna say.. Is there anything Clarko can't do... he has found a way to clone Mitchell & Lewis!!!

He spoke to about 8 other clubs during the year so there was a bit interest. For someone who has always been a ruckman I am super impressed by his 33 possession 4 goal game this year. Wrighty also said his contested marking is really good as well. We might have something here.

 

[threesixpio]

Was fortunate enough to watch this lad at Assumption from years 10-12. Begun as a very raw key forward after not playing much junior footy, however in the space of 3 years has already developed a lot. Can take a big grab, crashes packs and can kick a bag. Possesses some good tap work too when required in the ruck. Needs to work on his consistency and obviously put on a lot of size, however with the improvement he's already shown and his large scope for improvement I think you guys have a really exciting prospect here

Thanks. Ability to learn and develop. That's what you want with any pick but particularly with late ones

I like this .....

Mitchell Lewis

Name: Mitchell Lewis

Age: 17

Jumper number: 53

Height: 198cm

Weight: 92kg

Junior club/s: Wallan/Whittlesea

Best Calder memory? Playing every game I could as a bottom-ager in 2015.

AFL player I try to model my game on: Josh Kennedy (West Coast)

What I love about the Cannons: Teammates.

Have we picked this kid up as a bottom anger and could he have played TAC next year as he is listed at 17 y/o?

He played every game in 2015 as a bottom ager so i'd assume he was a top ager this year and therefore 17 at the time of writing but 18 now.

 

[Harper_Hawk]

Maybe Clarkson's looking for Jordan Roughead type in this kid?

 

[Jiggystoon]

Sounds a bit like another Grimley type project player, the ruckman / forward, give him time and see how he comes along, good luck to the lad, it's a longer journey and they are far more hit and miss but I always get the most excited about KPP prospects
