Not only that, in those two games Hobart has kicked only 16 goals while the Pies have blasted 43.
The one thing in Hobart's favour going into today's match is its strong winning form at home.
The Tigers won seven of their nine home-and-away games at the TCA in 2008, losing only to eventual grand finalists North Hobart and Glenorchy.
Lewis has pinpointed Hobart's achilles heal against Glenorchy -- speed over the park.
``We struggled to match up with Glenorchy in their running style of game,'' Lewis said.
``Both times we played them last year they blew us off the park with speed.
``We went and saw them play Launceston at KGV last week and they looked very skilful and fit.
``So we've gone with youth and speed this week. Apart from Trent Harvey and Scott Dickson, all of our team will be aged 22 and below.''
Dickson, returning to the Tigers' den after a stint at Labrador, Queensland, adds height to the side, as does Matthew Cleary, recruited from Kingborough.
Lewis said Hobart would be less predictable.
``We were good in the first half of last year but then the opposition coaches cottoned on to how we play,'' Lewis said.
``We've got a more versatile team this year. We've got more options.''
There are three TSL games scheduled for Good Friday -- the others are Burnie Dockers versus Devonport at West Park at 2pm, and North Launceston against Launceston at Aurora Stadium tonight (6pm).
Glenorchy coach Ben Reid said his club jumped at the chance to play on Good Friday.
``We asked around at the time the roster was being finalised and the players supported it,'' Reid said. ``It's a good opportunity to get a game in when there's not much else going on, it frees up the rest of the weekend for the boys. We're more than happy.''
Clarence's new coach Brett Geappen will lead the Roos in their clash with North Hobart, coached by his brother Matt Geappen, at North Hobart tomorrow.
Brett will have knee surgery in two weeks to mend damaged cartilage, but in the meantime hopes to play.
``The surgeon said sometimes you can play and get through games without it bothering you too much, so I'm playing,'' Geappen said.
The Roos named eight new players.
The Dees will debut Jordan Lovell, Tom Reid and Tom Balcombe, while Aaron Veitch, Matthew Muir and Alex Potter have returned from overseas.
