After a breakout season in 2019 when he booted 20 goals from 12 games, Mitch Lewis continued to hone his craft as a developing key forward in 2020.
Lewis was left out of the senior side in the opening three rounds of the season, not getting his first glimpse of AFL action until Round 4.
Playing four of the next five games, the Eastern Ranges product’s form was slightly down, managing just one week, and he was sent back to the reserves for the next six games.
But Lewis worked hard and earned his way back into the team for every game of the final month of the year.
Across these four games, he booted four goals, with his performance in the final round of the year against Gold Coast the best of the lot, finishing with 12 touches, five marks and two goals.
Having only recently turned 22 years old, Lewis is still very early on in his football journey.
This year Lewis faced the added pressure of being regularly opposed to rival side’s number one key defender, an experience the forward will undoubtedly be better for as he looks ahead to 2021.
