Ben Lennon

[spook]

The important measurement is less how Ben compares with the rest of what is a very athletic group of young players, and more how he compares with his own past.

Presuming it's players drafted from 2012 onwards, that's Vlastuin, McIntosh, Lennon, Lloyd, Miles, CEllis, Menadue, Drummond, Butler, Short, Castagna, Lambert, Soldo, Rioli, Markov, Broad, Chol, Seymour. Miles and Vlastuin and maybe Lloyd are the only ones who are not significantly superior athletes to Lennon.

Let's see how he's moving in March.

The reports from training are worrying but is what I expected. It would be hard for him to fall in love with the club again after telling them he wants out. Would be worse down at Carlton with Bryce Squibbs....I'm sure he's going to love every minute of pre season

Not always. Who was the Sydney bloke that wanted to move back to Melbourne but couldn't get the trade. In the end he stayed and played as well as he ever did. Was it Ted Richards Ryan O'Keefe ?

Ryan O'keefe, I think he might have gone on to win a b&f there

 

[Mr Brightside]

Not a fan but I'll give him till the season proper...these training reports can be very misleading

I still personally blame you for my love of McGun. those training reports were Booker Prize candidates

You know what really Irks me the most about this bloke !

Its not that he's unfit , Sure he may have had injuries or other things etc - Can be fixed
Its not that he's upset and not getting games and thinks hes been hard done by - Can be fixed

But the way he prances around as if he has already made it and has the choice to demand what he wants, The self entitlement and the sheer lack of effort in just about everything he does. Body language is shocking

If you have a look at the clip, Lennon with hands on his knees or on his head or on his waist as if he was the hardest trainer out there.

Looking forward to Lennon hopefully proving some people wrong on here. We need class in our forward line badly, massive opportunity for him.

Fair enough but Gibbs knows that Adelaide put up a fair trade offer and Carlton turned their nose up at, so it wouldn't feel great knowing that he could have been starting pre season in his home town.

Hopefully its a question of maturity.
Often it takes the humiliation of falling flat on your face to make you realize

But how's he going to use his weapon if he cant be arsed working hard to get the pill to start with?

Not once but twice!!!!!!!!!

Well, Ben trained today.

Its up to him whether he wants it enough or not.

Has shown he can play.

Last chance saloon.

I must have blinked at that moment

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

Yep, Lennon needs to put in a mighty pre-season if he is to be on the selection radar for season 2017.

This whole site was lit up with indignation on the friday evening before the elimination final in 2015. There was post after post slamming the selection of Conca and Griffiths replacing Lloyd and Lennon. Then over the weeks after that post after post about how we had to keep him and that he wanted to leave because the club had mishandled a young promising player by dropping him for a final.

The world has changed and now suddenly he can't play at all

Nobody said he cant play , Eberybody is just saying that he is lazy and undiciplined

with a massive sens of self entitlement , If you watch him at training and during games when the ball is not in his area

you will see what the issue;s are

 

[Sintiger]

Nobody said he cant play

You did.

At 8.12 this evening

 

[Feeling Tigerish]

his defensive efforts, when either chasing, tackling or applying pressure is just weak as *smile*.

his attack on the ball is also weak as *smile*, and he doesnt work anywhere near hard enough during games

fix that up and we've got a player

easy
