2024 Training With The Ooze Crew

Lennon was slow and didn’t love the contest.
Not sure it was all mental. Went to the US and did ok as a punter. Not the sign of someone mentally weak.
Yes. Lennon had good skills, he could play. His lack of pace and mobility became a big issue with the step up to AFL level.

Train tracks player, really poor agility and average pace usually signals battler. Lennon was a very good kick but that alone won't cut the mustard, certainly not for a first round pick.

Not the best athlete but that wasn't his biggest issue. He was scared s**tless at AFL level. Clearly he was always a big boy at junior level and probably bullied most kids off the field but found it too hard at AFL. He didn't have those issues at VFL level.
And once it was exposed no club wanted him as its very had to cure fear.
 
The boys where training at punt road today when I went past on the train this morning
Presume they headed off to camp after that

We've all seen this movie before, it has a *smile* ending.
Back then it was Jack and Big Tom already in place, so Balta was #3 with limited opportunities.

Play him as #2 and he'll get far more ball his way. He's a terrific mark, fast and strong. And a booming kick.
This could be the sequel we enjoy as much as the first trilogy

Lynch, Balta and Koschitzke could be an awesome trio. especially with the ball coming in fast.
