Jordan Lewis and Luke Hodge to join Jarryd Roughead in retirement
Four-time premiership players Jordan Lewis and Luke Hodge are set to join a group of big AFL names who have announced their retirements. The day after Lewis and Hodge were on hand to watch great friend Jarryd Roughead kick six goals in his swan song game at Hawthorn, reports emerged they will call time on their careers. Now at Melbourne, Lewis has played 318 games – but the 33-year-old utility has only managed 11 AFL appearances this season. Renowned for his hardness and aggression, Lewis made the All-Australian team in 2014 and also won the Hawks' best and fairest award. It was a dream season for Lewis, with the Hawks in the middle of the 2013-15 premiership hat-trick captained by Hodge. Both players won their four flags with Hawthorn, also playing in the 2008 team that upset Geelong in the grand final. Lewis has played the last three seasons at Melbourne after Hawks coach Alastair Clarkson famously moved on Lewis and fellow star Sam Mitchell at the end of 2016. Hodge retired in similar circumstances at the end of 2017, complete with a press conference, before he was enticed to 'unretire' by Chris Fagan at Brisbane.
