When ever the camera zooms in on him right after a contest he looks stuffed. I don't think he's lazing about it's more that he is just sensationally slow and has been blest with very little athleticism.

The speed of the modern game means he won't make the grade, as he's not big enough to use his strength to out position opponents. The recruiters that selected him are clowns.

that is a breathtakingly scathing, and mostly likely true, 100-odd word assessment.

He is the in-between man at HF.
Spends most of the time running to the contest and not getting there and then when we win it watching it go over his head because he is too close to be the next hit up player.

Far better suited to be the ball handler at HB but still might not be athletic or tough enough to make it there. But it is his only hope IMO.

Let's be honest he's a bit of a spud.

was watching with my brother, when he had that shot at goal, I half-jokingly said, 'if he kicks this, there's a faint hope, if he misses it, he's a bona fide bust and its all over'.

But hold on! Everyone says what a great kick he is ... still waiting for the proof on that too.
 
Lumbers around like a ruckman. Had some opportunities to show us his marking proess but couldn't get near it. Play him next week for one last crack then VFL for the year

I was very pleased when RFC recruited Lennon. I thought he was going to be a very good player for the Tigers, Apparently the players at the time were keen to secure him in the draft. But as time has marched on it is seemingly becoming apparent, as posted by many others, that quite possibly Lennon just isn't up to AFL standard and doesn't have much vibe to offer the Tigers going forward.
 
He's going to have to work through the 2's again to get a game, you would think.

And that will determine his position on the list.
