HAWTHORN star Jordan Lewis will play his 250th AFL match this weekend.
The 30-year-old made his debut for the Hawks in Round 3, 2005, after being recruited by the Hawks with pick seven in the 2004 NAB AFL Draft.
Lewis has been a regular fixture in the Hawks’ line-up over the past 12 seasons, and a key contributor to team success.
The midfielder’s list of accomplishments is lengthy.
Lewis is a four-time premiership player (2008, 2013, 2014 and 2015) and has won a host of club awards.
In 2014, Lewis was the club’s Peter Crimmins Medallist and also earned All Australian selection, after a career-best season in which he averaged almost 28 disposals and six clearances per match.
He has also won the club’s best first year player award (2005), best clubman (2011), most consistent player (2012) and was a NAB Rising Star nominee in 2005.
Over the course of his 249 games to date – which includes 21 finals appearances - Lewis has averaged 23.5 disposals and kicked 137 goals.
Lewis sits in 13th place on Hawthorn’s all-time games list.
He has been vice-captain since the start of 2011, and has captained the Hawks in 22 matches over the past six seasons in the absence of Luke Hodge.
The Hawks take on the Brisbane Lions in Round 10, on Saturday afternoon at the Gabba.
