Ben Lennon

[French Tiger]

Vickery , Lennon & possibly Ellis & Conca gone. All 1st round picks

 

[GEDS1]

I would want a late first rounder for him. He has potential, great mark, terrific kick and courageous. Generally speaking we do not lose players we want to keep so those in the know must not be too perturbed. Would we do Rockliff for Lennon ?

What a sad state of affairs our drafting is. ???

In a heartbeat

Reckon he was worth Pick 20-25 last year now worth around 35-40. Too many clubs have seen what Richmond should have seen 12 months ago.

Lazy and not that good. Travis Johnson without nearly as much talent. Neither Jesus nor Rumplestiltskin could have developed him. A pick under 30 would be great, take one under 40.

Yep! Damning isn't it?

Although you could pose the question of whether it is drafting or development ....

Either way, heads need to roll!

I can actually agree with that, we need to change the template away from solid citizens to skilled line breakers and who cares with they don't know which knife and fork to use

 

[mrposhman]

I see his trade value similar to Jake Melkshams.

Jake went to Melbourne for pick 25.

I would expect us to get something around that value for Ben.

Melksham trade sounds about right. I'd also compare to what Carlton got for Troy Menzel. Pick 28 and Sam Kerridge.

what a horrible realisation. :-\

Neither Jesus nor Rumplestiltskin could have developed him.

Rumpsy could have made it appear that he developed him. Maybe get him to marry Gil Mclachlans daughter and get us a few concessions?

 

[Willo]

Carlton declared they wanted pick 12 or Lennon for Yarran.
Lennon is contracted, he has another year of development in him :-X
Let that be the starting price.
Or *smile* him off to GC as part of a package for Prestia

Courageous? Please. Did you not see his last quarter against Geelong? Didn't go; didn't want it.

See ya Figjam :wave

Menzel is lazy and pretty talented, maybe even very talented. Lennon is lazy and a little bit talented, thats being charitable, and squinting my eyes.

Its a good comparison though.

Quote which should come soon from RFC

" Ben Lennon is a star in the making and we are absolutely devastated to lose such a young and supremely talented player. If he wants to go then so be it but we are going to drive a very hard bargain for a first round draft pick who we have spent 3 years developing "

What did Collingwood get for Freeman who hasn't played a game? Low 2nd rounder I think ?

Yeah 35 to 40 is about right.

Hope leysy's wrong but think a few are over estimating his worth.

 

[thejinx]

Shame. He looked good at times last year. Excellent mark and kick.

Think he could do well in the right system and make a good forward flanker.

 

[Ridley]

Hopefully there are at least 2 other clubs that over estimate his worth.

 

[Sintiger]

might end up sunning himself at surfers paradise

Lennon and pick 6 for Prestia and our Yarran pick back
