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

[Big Booty]

Good luck!

Hope he becomes a David Hale type player for us! Have a good feeling about this one.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Love Mum getting all serious (Y)

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

We're playing as if he have a strong marking KPF in our forward line. Someone like Lynch.

Practice the game plan this year in the real stuff in preparation for Lynch being there next year.

Clarko is a genius.

Yeah was too funny !!!

 

[cryptor]

Got a good feeling about him in his debut. May not kick a bag but I reckon he’ll leave us impressed.

Hoping he is more Josh Kennedy power forward

Was that his 14 yr old brother appearing in the interviews on his behalf?!?!

Hahah hes quite young

 

[Hawk_francais]

Seems a lovely kid. Hoping he goes full Ronke.

 

[Davo-27]

has had a breakout year so far at Box Hill

2017 - 13 games with 10 goals and in the bests 1 time
2018 - 12 games with 30 goals and in the bests 6 times* so far (plus 2 competent games of AFL which went goaless)

hopefully he can keep improving and he might get some more opportunities at the AFL level in 2019, has stepped up to the quality of the second tier competition and performed very well, im hoping he can make another step up in 2019 to start performing at the top level.

Why is there even a discussion around Lynch when we have this guy.

Why is there even a discussion around Lynch when we have this guy.

well Lynch is a certainty, this guy is a good prospect but no certainty, until he has a break out game at AFL i will keep the lid of excitement and expectation firmly on..... but he has proven himself at the VFL level and is still 19 so good room for growth yet.

 

[B&GBlood]

Why is there even a discussion around Lynch when we have this guy.

Because he will chewed up and spat out at AFL level, untill his body matures we need someone ready to take the role of number one key forward because Rough is in the twilight and unfortunately Schoe is not quite good enough often enough.

 

[Brishawk]

Why is there even a discussion around Lynch when we have this guy.

Because he averages 1 mark and 0 goals at afl level

[PhatHQ]

For those that watch him at BH, how is his tank?
Is he a type that could hold down CHF & run all day?
If the kid comes on & Lynch is a Hawk does that give us a twin towers scenario & force Shory out..???

Hmmm, maybe we could take a punt on that Lisle fella?

Considering he missed 2 games while playing for the Hawks, thats a fantastic effort.

 

[bumsonseats]

If TL does not chose to come to Haw, then we have to get as many games as we can into Mitchell Lewis next year.

Like the look of what he could be - need to give him every opportunity to be what we are looking for.

Start him at FB I reckon

 

[Millsie69]

Need to keep a lid on expectations for the kid.

Don't forget that Grimley won the VFL goalkicking too and also played a couple of senior games for the Hawks.

At least he kicked goals in the seniors

Difference is the Box Hill watchers tend to rate Lewis. Same was never the case for poor Grimmers.

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

I remember that, and thinking at the time "Wow, this guy could be the next Mitch Thorp!"
