With big Ben going down with the shoulder, big opportunity for little Ben to play well tomorrow and play as that HHF. Bring it!
I thinks he's talented enough but sugar coat it all you want IMO he's either lazy or unfit if he's not dominating the twos or not hungry enough.



If he's playing forward in the twos

And the twos are getting pumped every week

What's he sposed to do?
WANT IT!

He could be Wayne Carey if the ball doesn't go there it doesn't matter how much be wants it

Ben Lennon
18 disposals, three tackles

Played wing most of the day. Still learning the role, which is going to add another string to his bow. Every time Ben gets the ball, something happens with our side. He didn’t hit the scoreboard, but he did contribute to two or three goals. Hopefully Ben can keep improving the wing role over the next two or three weeks.

Looks like he's playing on the wing so.........


Fair enough. From the little I've seen I saw him forward

How many games he played on a wing?

Good to see him in the best, again
Then he grabbed two chopsticks and stuck them in his mouth , pretending to be a walrus

Not just the touches but he is learning the craft of being a utility. Clarke was very hard on him in the reports earlier in the season in the areas of taking marks as a forward and seizing his chances. They want a player of his class getting a bit more contested footy. They are trying to get him to harden up, this is what he has to do if he wants to break into the team as a HHF as The Machine suggested. There has not been any mention of fitness or laziness, and Clarke does mention these things if they are an issue.

“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Don't blame him.. Hasn't had a run at senior level really. Hasn't done much to earn selection either though. Would definitely trade him if we can get something decent, feel like he's a nothing player
