Promising signs early on last night where he did a couple of nice things but I don't see Lennon has the tank or defensive side to his game yet to be in our best 22 for round 1. Us supporters will have to be more patient with him and not think he has to be like Floss who played 20 games in his debut year.

I  think Lennons debut yesterday was a bit disappointing to be honest.

He'll be lucky to play 2-3 games this year

Looked like a Lemon more than a Lennon.

Conditions were very humid.  Tough first gig when the experienced players in the team gave him little support by playing like flogs.

Will wait and see....

He's also the slowest player in the comp

Lennon on starting over at Tigerland

March 20, 2014

The 18-year-old is set for a return to the field with Richmond’s VFL team, in this Friday’s practice match against Footscray at the Whitten Oval, following his recovery from a minor knee injury.

“The knee’s good.  Hopefully, I’ll play a half, and we’ll see how we go,” he said.

Lennon had a brief taste of AFL football, when he lined up for Richmond in the opening pre-season challenge match against Melbourne at Etihad Stadium.

“I found it very quick.  It was phenomenal how quick it was,” Lennon said.

“At times, I was just looking around and trying to find my opponent.  And then, on the other side of that, you’ve got to try and get the ball and attack.

“So, I learned a lot, and I feel as though it’s going to hold me in good stead.  It was a good experience.”

Be ironic if Lennon got picked for the Essendon match and copped a few shots from Chapman....

living the dream as a player at the club he’s barracked for all his life, alongside his boyhood idol, Brett Deledio.

Lennon had Deledio’s No. 3 on the back of his Richmond jumper, as a kid.

Lol who wrote that rot?

Ben did say on the talking tiger interview this week that he followed the tigers BUT..
I think the problem was with the interviewing on talking tiger.  they asked him who he followed before he was drafted to the club.  which could have been interpreted wrongly.

on all the media pre-draft, it was all "followed carlton as a kid, big blues family".
but who knows, maybe after his stint last year with us as part of the AIS academy, he developped quite good relationshiops with some of the boys and decided to follow tigers from then onwards whereas prior to that he barracked for carlton.

in essence, what he answered wasn't wrong in that case, he followed richmond just before being drafted to richmond but as a kid and growing up he was a bluebagger.

Best of luck to Ben on Saturday in his senior Tiger debut.
