AFL 2025: Hawthorn will welcome back forward Mitch Lewis from injury this weekend
The much-anticipated wait for Mitch Lewis is almost over. The Hawthorn spearhead is set to play his first senior game in 378 days this weekend against Port Adelaide in Tasmania. Lewis was one of the hard luck stories in Hawthorn's dream run to September last year, going down with an ACL in round 17. The 26-year-old sought overseas advice on his knee and has been made to earn his place in the side through the VFL. He had kicked two and three goals in his first two matches for Box Hill but banged the selection door down with a haul of five against Essendon last week. Lewis is a welcome addition to the Hawks' front half after going down to Fremantle last weekend. The clash against the Power marks the return fixture of the Hawks' worst performance of the year – Gather Round. The Power piled on 12 of the first 13 goals in that game to hand Hawthorn its first loss of the year. Hawthorn coach Sam Mitchell was unsure if he would readdress the Gather Round loss but confirmed he would reach into his 'kit bag' to keep the top-four hopes alive. 'They've had the wood over us lately, they've won certainly the last three,' Mitchell said. 'We haven't handled a couple of situations well … it's a big end to the season for every club and they're in the way of what we're trying to achieve. 'We'll prepare the players as best we can to get the outcome we want. 'There's a whole range of things in our kit bag that we can use for that – the last couple of times we've played Port is part of that. 'But whether we decide to show too much of that or not is to be determined.'

GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING: AFL star Sam Butler posts stomach-churning photo of horrific injury that has kept him off the field for 418 days
AFL star Sam Butler has posted a stomach-churning image of his broken leg which saw the Hawthorn forward sidelined for over 400 days. Butler, 22, broke both his fibula and tibia in a game for VFL side Box Hill on April 28 last year in horrific scenes. Adding to the drama was Butler then having to wait half an hour for an ambulance to arrive and take him to hospital. A few niggles late in the pre-season delayed the youngster's start to 2025, but he has been recalled by Hawks coach Sam Mitchell to play the Western Bulldogs in a blockbuster at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on Thursday night. Butler, who has displayed his versatility by playing in the midfield for Box Hill in recent weeks, will look to help the Hawks avoid a fourth successive defeat. Concerningly, they were hammered by premiership favourites Collingwood and the Brisbane Lions in their last two outings. Mitchell has outlined what he desperately wants to see from his players more than any other against the Bulldogs. 'I just think it's pressure,' the coach said. The Hawks were outclassed in the tackle counts against the Magpies and Lions, with the numbers - 82-38 and 59-36 - painting a grim picture. 'The winning tackle count is often not the winning team, but you can't get beaten the way we have been,' Mitchell added. 'Enabling the players to be able to put pressure on the opposition is going to be the most important thing for us.' Meanwhile, Luke Beveridge's Bulldogs are bracing themselves for a fierce attack on the contest from a desperate Hawthorn side. 'You're always wary when a club's been under the microscope a bit and the way they galvanise and prepare for their next game,' he said. 'We've got to be ready for their intensity in this game, because it might be more explosive than what you're sometimes used to. 'That's our challenge in the bigger part of the platform to springboard into the back half of the year off a really good experience. 'It's a really critical game for both clubs.'
