Scored on three separate occasions in one day. Definitely a young Lennon.

I thought he was great. I was surprised to see he only had 12 touches. I suppose it seemed like he had more because his possessions around the ground are good quality. I'll take less defensive pressure for more class. Keeps his place, much more effective than Madonna.

Re: Welcome to tiger land Ben Lennon
The goals were good, albeit one gifted via an umpiring decision. Still needs to attack every contest. Was disappointed with a few half hearted efforts today. Still give him a couple more games to see what he can do.

Re: Welcome to tiger land Ben Lennon
Got into better spots, offered more and finished better than Morris, Newman, Gordon and Lloyd have done all year.
I've been critical of him, but he is clearly so far ahead in terms of class compared to the aforementioned that he must play every game to end the year.

Talent......tick . Needs a tank,one or two more preseasons.
Sort of player who doesn't need lots of the footy to impact a game

Re: Welcome to tiger land Ben Lennon
Pretty decent game from Ben which was good to see.
Certainly made the most of his opportunities and had the skill to finish off.
Still think his work rate isn't great but does have natural forward sense which is what we have been lacking in recent weeks.
Plenty of improvement left. It was more a Lloyd like game. Needs to work hard both ways and he'll be a decent player.

Re: Welcome to tiger land Ben Lennon
Yeah went about a few 50/50 contests very half hearted and his chasing and tackling pressure is non existent.
Has got the skills but really needs to lift in a lot of other areas.
Would've done dimmas head in.

Re: Welcome to tiger land Ben Lennon
In fact it might be seen than as having been a smart move back in the day and to have actually contributed to his long career.
Yep. And if and when he does play 150 plus games (and I'm backing him in for it now) it wont matter that he might have been held back a bit way back in seasons 2014-15.Bullarto Tiger said:

Re: Welcome to tiger land Ben Lennon
There's very, very few youngsters can step up as eighteen year olds n perform with any consistency in their first year or two at AFL level. Kids get a sniff n a taste, then go back to VFL n work on specific requirements as they build up to the seniors.
Yep, no harm in letting our young players do a proper footballing apprenticeship in the magoos, as they should. Get the fitness, develop the bodies, learn the positioning n running patterns, gain the experience n work ethic required to perform consistently at senior level. All in a competition that has other youngsters, some experienced AFL players and a bunch of handy part timers all mixed in together. Rather than shoving them straight into elite level n hoping they survive.Tenacious said:

Re: Welcome to tiger land Ben Lennon
Agree, Morris imho does more harm then good running around in that forward line, Lennons smarts produced those goals, all one on one wins not dragging his opponent into a contest with Jack...pretty clear that everyone sees his talents and his weaknessesSt Kevin said:

Good small forward= needs to be closely guarded all game, as can heavily impact scoreboard with only a few touches.
Morris = Can be disrespected by an opponent. Opponent can assist his team mates to nullify a more dangerous forward/s.

Ben Lennon may have arrived in that game. Let's hope that is the case.
