The lad's confidence seemed shot.
You would like to think that there is some support for him to help him get back on track...otherwise it's a wasted space on our list.
After starting the season well, Lewis seemed to become a casualty of the tweaked gameplan and more positive ball movement.
His work in the VFL was generally pretty good and it was obvious that he was an AFL listed player.
His recall to the AFL as a last man standing ruckman didn’t go well but I don’t think that we should write him off on that basis.
I think that he must be in the mix for Friday night but at fairly long odds. There’s no way that he could play as a key forward - as that brief experiment showed. If he comes into the 22, it will be as a defender and Kemp or McGovern will go forward. I really can’t see that happening.
If Jack Silvagni isn’t fully fit, I suspect that we’ll go with a smaller forward line.
Young will have a pre-season to learn how to fit in to the tweaked gameplan.
