Happy with Lennon

Now for nicknames

John, Lenny, Len, Vlad

I'm sure others will have better ones

I think Beetle would be a good nickname
 
Re: Welcome to tiger land Ben Lennon

I don't know much about Ben Lennon - people are saying he can play forward, play off the hbf, have a run in the midfield, is a booming kick and is a nice mark. Based on those characteristics sounds a bit like Lids MII. Is that a fair comparison?

Yeah good comparision, but Lennon isn't as quick.

But Lennon sang the song!
It's a line from Looking Through a Glass Onion, Smasha. Lennon said 'here's another clue for you all, the walrus was Paul'. I read he was just messing with everyone's heads for his own amusement. I think he still is.

Anyway, I'm done hijacking. Back to Ben, our very own Stevie J, apparently.

A Lids with a touch more defense and slightly slower?
I'll take him thanks.(FJ)

Yep, forgot that too. He's not nearly as athletic as Lids.

Thanks TT

Happy with that. FJ kicking goals with pick 1 over the past few years. Hopefully will step up with the later picks.

BTW, is Lennon also comparable to Lids vis a vis being more outside than in?

BTW II I reckon Lids is less reliant on his pace these days than earlier in his career - that said, was certainly very quick in his first few years at the Tigers. I remember fondly a breakout game of his in the mid to late 2000's where he matched it with Judd and Cousins, and we came very close to snatching a memorable win against a very very good WC team.

Very very happy with that (as long as he doesn't come with the Stevie J attitude).
