Doesn't seem to have been given the same game time as our other 1st round choices, C.Ellis played some games where he looked like he didn't want contact & still was picked the following week. Talk of perhaps a bad attitude may be correct hence not getting a run. I still thought in the run of games he put together late last year showed he had plenty to offer. Some of his marking in the wet v the Bombers was excellent.
I will be disappointed to see Lennon depart, yet if he wants out then there is just no point trying to convince him to stay. Probably a combination of poor development by the Club coupled with his poor attitude. Will be very disappointed if he turns it around at another club.
The real question is perhaps, given how loyal the club has been to him - paying him well and not trading him end of '15 - and how few good senior games he has actually played for us (partially due to bad luck). Even given him getting his Tiger tattoo. So why does he want to leave?
No loyalty or dedication from him. So the club will get burnt on having to take unders for a pick 12. Thanks, Ben. Appreciate it.

JOM and Prestia went to GC. If Ben doesn't go speaks volumes about his character!
Sorry to see him go really. Would have liked to judge him after a full pre season of training and injury free run. Never got that continuity with us at all. He was terribly under done this year due to glandular fever and injuries. No base fitness whatsoever due to this so how could he be expected to perform at the top level. We've held onto players with far less ability a lot longer, but if he wants out so be it.
I don't get it. If his fitness base wasn't there due to his illness why would he be disgruntled over not getting the opportunities he must feel that he deserves? Why wouldn't he complete a full preseason and show everyone what he is made of next year?
