Ben Lennon

[Ridley]

Being a cat is just about taking the odd short step, it is the whole package.

Ben thinks he is awesome, gets the tough stickers, holds club to ransom coming off his first contract when he achieved nothing, demands to be traded after 1 yr of new contract b/c he thinks he awesome and it is unfair why he isnt getting greater opportunities despite the fact he hasnt earnt it.

In short, he is convinced he is awesome when the coaches know full well he is only very average.

And it isnt just about short steps, it is about intensity he takes on each game. His intensity is less than what is expected of an AFL player.

Hear hear. Great post Ghost.

The worst thing about lennon is he really does have talents arguably some of the best in the draft. Makes his actions and attitude that more disappointing

 

[Scoop]

I'm not averse to trading him for the right deal, but I'd keep him if we don't get a good deal.

Agree. I'm still in Team Lennon.

Has been horribly managed. Can play.

Lennon & Ellis the two who can makes us better quickly.

Brett O'Hanlon Mkll with tatts , Ben is to slow for today's game style ,would wrapped to get a second round pick for this one trick pony

I made this comparison in my argument to trade Lennon for Yarran, athletically they are near identical. Both are/were very strong overhead with Lennon being a better kick, however I'm not sure this trait alone is sufficient to make the grade.

We have to now hope that a club will give us a pick around the 30 mark, I would take that in a heartbeat. I would even consider a later pick if no-one was biting.

That's like saying Yoko didn't break up the Beatles.

Hear hear. Great post Ghost.

Totally agree and when he does actually get fit enough to get a game he squibs it. We should trade him to the Melbourne Badminton Club

 

[zgod]

Don't want anyone who doesn't want to be there. *smile* him off and iron him out in the return match.

Ohh bs , Howzabout the kid being accountable for what he produces . Going on his junior tapes he should have been producing something like stringer at his best. Instead he has served up tripe that has barely warranted a senior game other than a few gifts. Needs the greatest rocket of all time to fire himself up

Carlton where trying to poach Lennon last year, my point at the time was to cut a deal and save both our second rounders. I think that stance has now been vindicated.

Guys, read the context. The comparison was with O'Hanlon

 

[pokey]

:hihi :cutelaugh :rofl :cutelaugh :hihi :rofl

I think he means at the start of pre-season while Yarran is still 10 kg overweight.

If you can bother to pick yourself off the floor, read the quote above, I was talking about O'Hanlon.

Your comment didn't read like that at all. Im not the only one who misread that

The quote was referring to "O'Hanlon MKII", sorry if that flew over your head.

This quote reads that your comparing yarran to lennon, as you mentioned both in the same sentence. Not a big deal but just saying it does read like that
