Jordan Michael Lewis (born April 24, 1986) is an Australian rules footballer, currently playing for the Hawthorn Football Club of the Australian Football League. His nicknames are "Taz" and "Chief."
Lewis was voted Hawthorn's best first-year player in 2005. He was a 2005 nominee for the AFL Rising Star award.
On June 14, 2006, Lewis was cleared by the AFL of a spitting incident in a June 11 match against Port Adelaide. Lewis had apologized afterward for the incident, in which he spit on the hand of Port Adelaide onballer Kane Cornes. The AFL inquiry found that it was unclear whether Lewis had accidentally spat on Cornes while spitting on the ground or whether he deliberately tried to spit on Cornes' hand. "The fact that Cornes' hand was at his side lent weight to Lewis' claim he was intending to spit on the ground," determined John Coburn, the league investigations officer.[1]
