Stats
Bio
Arriving at Hawthorn from Parkside, Lew Evans was a notably diminutive rover who made a brief appearance at VFL level in the late 1940s. Standing at just 163cm, Evans faced the significant physical challenges typical for players of his stature but showed immediate goal sense upon his debut in Round 1, 1949. He played the opening two matches of the season, booting a total of two goals as the Hawks suffered heavy defeats to Essendon and Fitzroy. Despite hitting the scoreboard early in his tenure, Evans was omitted after the second round and did not feature in the senior lineup again, ending his VFL career with a tidy average of a goal a game.
