Review

Through strong VFL form throughout the opening two months of the season, Mitchell Lewis forced his way into the senior side.

Kicking 14 goals in the preceding five weeks for Box Hill, Lewis made his senior debut in Round 9 against the Brisbane Lions.

The 198cm key forward prospect showed glimpses at senior level but was ultimately restricted to two appearances in 2018.

At VFL level, Lewis proved one of the most damaging tall forwards in the league, booting 38 goals across his 19 games to finish equal second in the competition’s goal kicking tally.
