Not true. Never considered going to Carlton last year.

That is actually 100% incorrect. Was also promised a minimum amount of games this year (in a row) and this was not followed through with
That's not what he told me!

Say what you like about Lennons apparent attitude problem but the reality is we lost this kid when half step chose a half done Conca over Lennon in last year's elimination final.

Then wanted a trade

Then promised a fair run at it

The shafted by Dimma and his orgy possie '16

People are shocked his disillusioned

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story - just soft and crap hey good riddance .

Don't think he wanted a trade so much as Carlscum started getting in his ear

"walk to us for nothing Ben"
Not true. Never considered going to Carlton last year.

Um, Carlton were certainly in contact with his management during last seasons trade period from various people/sources.

Whether he actually entertained the idea is a different story. As I said, I believe Carlscum were saying he could get to them via the PSD.

Lets face it he has never ever really wanted to be with us.
....
...Lot of angst over a bloke who does not want to be there and who is yet to produce a thing at the level.
Sometimes it is not all the clubs fault  and why there is SOME blame to lay at their feet their is probably more to lay at Lennons.
Lets just let him go and get what we can for him he will never reach what potential he has with us if he does not want to be there.

Really, never?

And you know this how?

If he now (and seriously who can blame him) then he goes but to say he NEVER wanted to be at the club is not true  >:(
Call it perception call it what you like. im just simply going  going by what has transpired in recent years. With out actually speaking to him about it, it  is about all any of us can go by.Yep i get the distinct feeling  his heart has never been in being at rfc and most certainly not the last few years.ANd your right who can blame him i am surprised more are not leaving in droves.
Hmm opinion not allowed around here nowdays.

Do you believe a mate who translates a vibe from his dad about his son or do you believe the bloke himself?

I reckon he concocted a cunning plan to get to Carltank and cracked it when he didn't get his way.  See Cam McCarthy wanting to go to Freo heave ho.  It happens.  Disclaimer:  Anything I propose here is purely my own speculation despite being probably right on the money due to my uncanny wisdom and intelligence and general awesomeness.

Lennon doesn't fit the Halfwit model.

Skillful.
Reads the ball well.
Strong Mark.
Highly skilled by foot.
Goal kicker.
Quick over the ground.
Smart.  Quick thinker.

The club needs more Moore, Townsend, Hunt types.

Had a crippling year with injuries after being stuffed around.  Could be one of our best players.

If he realizes his potential at Carlton, the tears from tiger fans will be flowing for the next ten years.

Would not trade.
