2019 was a breakout year for young Hawk Mitch Lewis. After making his debut and playing two games in 2018, the forward stepped things up a notch with 12 senior appearances. After a somewhat modest start to the year, Lewis returned to the VFL after Round 11 to work on his craft. The relegation seemingly paid dividends, with Lewis returning in Round 16 to give the competition a stir with his strong hands and accuracy in front of goal. He booted 13 goals from his last six appearances and enters 2020 as an exciting prospect for Hawks fans. In the off-season, the forward was handed the No.2 guernsey, left vacant by the departing Jarryd Roughead.
