The Vision is now on the website. A couple of decent grabs, a couple of handball receives and some very decent snapping for goal which is one of his strengths.
Nice. Thx.

Very very good goals.

He got his goals playing the same game style he played JLT which is really encouraging.

Goal 1 - He makes the marking contest, recovers snaps.

Goal 2. Marking contest - mark - goal.

Goal 3 - snap

Goal 4 - marking contest - follow up second effort - pushes the ball forward - third effort snap goal- exactly what you ask for in a forward.

Goal 5 - contest - mark goal - beautiful kick 45 out on angle.

Goal 6 - Contest mark (up teh line) goal (50 metres helped)

Goal 7 - Ben goes to make the contest - sees we have numbers - holds back - handball receive - beautiful snap under pressure.

Don't know what DLR was smoking but Ben played as the coaches would want and then some. He plays rd 1 for mine.

Reminds me of your finest McBean goal descriptions :hihi

But seriously, he did nothing in the JLT games - what forward would you drop for him? We have a vacancy at CHF given the non-performance so far of Griffens, but just can't see Lennon doing anything in that role either. I'd keep Castegna, Lloyd, Rioli, Edwards etc in the team ahead of him at this stage.
 
Only Lennon could snag 7 in the VFL against the reigning VFL & AFL premiers and have them downgraded. ::)

Could not have gone back and responded better. I am still buying real estate on Lennon Island.

Zen for realtors and speculators?

I dont like to run a bloke down, but they looked pretty underwhelming, as far as sausage rolls go.

Leysy was the founder of Lennondud Island located opposite the bay way back when.

Made a fortune selling off parcels of land. The No vacancy sign is now up.

Don't expect that to change.
 
Scoop, I am not as bullish on Ben as you are but I am flabbergasted by the cynicism on here.

There were no over the top goals or sagging into empty space goals which Len was noted for (which aren't that bad because it means you can read the play and fall of the ball)

Five goals came from marking contests Ben made. Three he marked and goaled. Two he contested and recovered to kick the goal. Two nice snaps to round them off.

As for Antman's where does he play. Pretty easy if you dont play Hunt, Houli and Ellis

Nope, get in at full price now. I'm sitting on a goldmine. It's boom or bust. ;D

Ahh, the same company that went out of business on The Collins Cove project. ;D

Scooper I still own a thatched hut on your Lennon Island.

The storms regularly flatten it and the plumbing is non-existent but I dug a nice latrine.

Missed it last night after two bottles of the local v-juice, but it's still a nice latrine.

Lennon is too sublimely skilled to write off at this point.

His kicking is well documented, but his marking is also elite and he is capable of backing into heat.

Abandon Lennon Island at your peril, folks.

I think you'll find Lennon played CHF in the JLT games and I thought did OK, is we are talking playing his role.

What I liked was that he played the same role as far as I could tell from the clips and kicked goals.

Said it before but I don't think there is room for both Lennon & Lloyd.
We can carry one slowish, specialist half forward flanker but not two.
Very similar players and at this stage Sam gets the nod.

Lloyd has been playing wing. You can play Lennon as chf if you have Rioli castagna and butler down there as well.
 
Not writing Ben off yet, just struggling to see where he fits in. We do have the underperforming griffins to worry about at CHF as well.

I reckon he has been playing wing to build endurance. Won't be that far from goals in the real stuff. He has a decent tank and has also been clearly working on his speed. Lloyd all day over Lennon. Don't think Lennon is going to make it unfortunately. Not quite a standout at anything I'm afraid.
