Lewis' relationship with Todd Viney was the reason why he chose us. He's maintained a strong relationship since Todd was at Hawthorn.

I just snorted soup out my nose when I saw you'd changed your name krazy. Thanks for that

It was an opportunity that I couldn't pass up :cool:

Just watching the presser. He is a very loyal young man. The media continue to try set him up "throw Hawks under the bus, we need a headline".. Lewis buys none of that, very loyal to the Hawks still. Great get for us, he is a polished media performer.

He talks really well. I really like listening to him talk (love this decision even more now). No um/ahh, rather straight forward, logical, honest, positive and strong responses to questions.

I know this will get howled down, but this is a guy who i think would have captained the Hawks in 2017, is co captains with Nathan Jones totally out of the question? obviously the players vote and all that and i am usually against new players getting in but surely this is a different set of circumstances, talking about a genuine A grade player and A grade leader.

Good pickup this, especially for a late pick swap. He's going to bring leadership, maturity and experience to the group and help guide our youngsters on the path to glory. 

Interesting he said in his interview that witnessing us beat them comfortably first hand and play hard football attracted him to us. It shows us there are no nothing games, it's unacceptable to put up performances like we did the last 2 rounds as it could cost us a player or supporters.

Welcome to the club you Balding Sniper!

I was having a sh!t day right up until this news.

Whilst still having to deal with morons, I'm in a much better mood after watching that interview.

Geez our midfield is going to be full of hard arses.

Vice Captain would suffice, and I don't think there will be anyone that would be disappointed if this were the case.

I have always liked listening to him talk footy. No cliches or spin answers, just clear but without any grand statements. I didn't realise it, but it looks like the 3 year deal was attractive to him on two fronts: footy longevity and family security. I can see him in a lot of interviews, press conferences and football tv next year.

Random positive on top of this: Hawthorns game-plans, tactics and strategies from Jordan's perspective. This knowledge will also be very valuable (even though it will change it just reinforces how good a pick up it will be).

Co captains is a bit far and would come across as him being yet another messiah for us. Would be a lock for the leadership group and hopefully can be a confidant/mentor for chunck.

Love to read the texts that'd be flying around between the players right now ...

 

Last week:  Hodge to Mitchell: so mate you went for pick 88!

This week: Mitchell to Hodge:  better than Lewis - he went for peanuts!   And, you will go for...?

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
