Lewis has been dealing with a series of frustrating setbacks with his body this season. It must be tough for both him and the team to have him sidelined again. Hopefully, reducing his training load will help alleviate some of the joint pain, and the upcoming reassessment will provide more clarity on his availability for the next game against St Kilda.
It seems like Hawthorn is facing some challenges with key players being unavailable due to injury or suspension. Losing Lewis and Chol for the game against the Bulldogs will surely impact the team’s dynamics. However, it’s promising to hear that Watson is progressing well in his recovery and could potentially return ahead of schedule. Breust’s absence due to a groin issue adds to the team’s concerns, but hopefully, he’ll be able to overcome it soon and make a strong comeback.
Like Watson, the two-time All-Australian is in the club’s hopes that the veteran will be available for selection.
Massimo D’Ambrosio should be available after managing the Swans the previous weekend.
With seven rounds under his belt, Champion Data ranks the former Bomber as the third best wingman, indicating that he is off to a great start at Waverley Park.
