As a dual position player (can be selected as a midfielder or forward), Lewis has been a popular choice amongst coaches - but surprisingly is a member of just 12,616 teams, meaning that he is still a relatively unique choice for your team.
He has been in outstanding form both on the field for the Hawks and on the field for Dream Teamers, with his average sitting at 87.64 in his 11 matches. He has topped the ton twice, his score of 103 against Carlton and also in Round 4 against the Eagles with a score of 101.
What is most impressive though, is that he is one of the most consistent performers. In Dream Team, you don’t want a one hit wonder or a player who is hit and miss. Lewis certainly isn’t one of those.
Of his 11 matches, he has registered scores of 90 or above on three occasions, 80 plus four times and returned modest scores of below 70 just twice. Even then, however, his lowest score for season 2012 is 68.
He tackles, he gets plenty of the ball and he rarely has a quiet game. He is the perfect candidate for your team.
The good news is, that despite his score of 103 last week, his price has dropped. He opened the season at $441,800 and ahead of Round 15, he sits at $381,400 - not bad for a player averaging 87 points per game.
Round 15 spotlight
Lance Franklin ($531,600) - He sent a scare through the Hawks camp as he jogged from the field in the final term of Friday night’s win over Carlton, but the good news is Buddy has been selected for the match against Greater Western Sydney on Sunday. Could he be in for a big day?Sam Mitchell ($459,600) - The Hawks clearance king seems to be building as the season wears on, and his scores reflect that. He notched 124 points against Carlton on Friday night, backing up his 113-point effort against Brisbane in Round 12. He is still relatively cheap for a player averaging 104 points per game. He has an average of 108 in his last three games.
Derick Wanganeen ($104,200) - Wanganeen was selected as an emergency for the match against Brisbane in Round 12, and he’s been named in the extended squad for Sunday’s match against Greater Western Sydney. He’s a quick small forward who could benefit from feeding off the crumbs of Lance Franklin and Jarryd Roughead. Could be a downgrade option if you need some cash.
Luke Lowden ($104,200) - The Hawks ruckman has been developing nicely at VFL level with Box Hill, and after an impressive showing against the Northern Blues last weekend, the Hawks match committee has rewarded the 21-year-old has been rewarded with a possible senior call up.
