Career highlights

Jordan Michael Lewis (born 24 April 1986) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Hawthorn Football Club of the Australian Football League (AFL).

Lewis was drafted to play for Hawthorn with the seventh selection in the 2004 AFL Draft and made his AFL debut in season 2005.

Lewis was voted Hawthorn's best first-year player in 2005. He was a 2005 nominee for the AFL Rising Star award.

On 11 June 2006 Lewis was accused of spitting on Port Adelaide onballer Kane Cornes. Lewis apologised to Cornes after the incident, in which he spat on Cornes' hand. On 14 June, an AFL inquiry found that it was unclear whether Lewis had accidentally spat on Cornes, while spitting on the ground, or whether his actions were deliberate. the league declined to impose a penalty and investigations officer John Coburn said: "the fact that Cornes' hand was at his side lent weight to Lewis' claim he was intending to spit on the ground."[1]

In 2008, Lewis was part of the Hawthorn team that won the premiership against Geelong.

A lowlight of his career was in 2010 when he was knocked unconscious during a collision with Jarrod Harbrow of the Western Bullogs. While he was cleared to play the following week, Lewis later stated it affected him for several weeks.[2][3]

In 2014 Lewis played his 200th AFL game in Round 7, as the Hawks defeated St Kilda by 145 points.[5] Jordan also won his third premiership for Hawthorn as well as earning his first ever Peter Crimmins Medal.
