Stevie J
Lennon wopuld have got more than four touches and been on the ground longer than 20 minutes.
I may have my head in the sand. But, I would like us to spend time on a skilled 21 year old who has been through illnesses and injuries to make it because of high end talent, he may have lacked passion, but that can change.
Considering the amount of list cloggers the club keeps. I'd give Lennon this year as a fresh slate.

Every year is a fresh slate for those that have not delivered. He has a year to do something. Let's see if he has the balls. I doubt it.I may have my head in the sand.

Excellent point, Gun. I wonder how many who post here have ventured to a VFL game and seen the lack of effort Lennon churns out.Im sure most on this board would agree with your thoughts Nantes, But the biggest issue with Lennon is not his ability or the fact that he has been on the list for 3 years and yet to show any sort of ability to work hard or to try and adapt to the team.
He does himself no favours when he asks for a bigger contract just when his club is trying to bring in another player and hands the upper hand to the opposition team during the trade period after being at the club for 2 years and spending most of that time in rehab with the club supporting him, Then he follows up the following year after "again being injured and also having an illness and not being able to show what he can offer he comes out and publicly asks for a trade and puts out a stupid interview clearly designed to garner interest without any suitors
Along with some of his half arsed efforts in the vfl where he simply does not do what he has been asked to do on the field,Which coaches willl accept this type of attitude and why wouldnt other clubs show any interest in a 1st round pick that hasnt really had a chance ?
Ahern,Freeman,Pickett were all in similar positions yet they all had suitors but there was zero interest in Lennon
Do you not believe that he has contributed to his own predicament ?
There is no doubt he needs to work much harder. People forget quickly that he played many of his 19 games as a sub. Pretty hard to dominate and get great numbers from there, so it's pointless just looking at stats.Excellent point, Gun.

An allegedly highly talented, highly skilful with spades of potential would be tearing the house down and thrusting his name in front of selectors.
It's the application that lacks. You can have all the potential in the world (a-la Geoff Heyward on The Club), but if you don't apply yourself and are always feeling hard done by, there's no hope.
DrMike was right in pointing out his best game was against Essendon in the wet when he clunked marks. Correct, it was a great game. But name his second best game? Or the other moment he impacted a contest? It's a battle!

It's also a little pointless looking at VFL games. Players like Vickery hardly did anything there and were promoted back. That was a poor signal to give youngsters like Lennon. It's part of the continued poor culture that Hardwick has created. Hope that changes next year.
2017 is his year. He either takes it by the scruff of the neck or he is goneski. Simple.
You saying Dimma is in the wrong?Not much will change until Hardwick walks out the door, guaranteed!
Is Geoff Heyward real? Now he was a player ...Excellent point, Gun. I wonder how many who post here have ventured to a VFL game and seen the lack of effort Lennon churns out.

Most on here know my frustrations regarding Lennon and think i have an agenda about this kid - I really dont and wish he turned into a gunston type foward or a Stevie J' type mid/fwdExcellent point, Gun.

Why would a coach pick on him and tell him he is lazy if he does the running, positioning and pressure acts expected of him?He probably busts his ass off every day only to be told he's lazy.
That would piss me off too.

My Christmas wish: Lennon to have a few ripper games at the start of 2017 and then see all the keyboard warriors criticising him scatter for cover......
I'll happily mea culpa, then mea maxima culpa if he pulls the finger out. I hope he does, he has a unique skill set on our list. Hopefully, the combination of a complete lack of interest by other clubs + working with new assistants will get his head right. Coz, that is where most of the problems are.My Christmas wish: Lennon to have a few ripper games at the start of 2017 and then see all the keyboard warriors criticising him scatter for cover......
