claw, do you rate anybody at the club highly?

He's played five games, and I think he was the sub quite a bit yeah?

Once he puts more weight on (in the right areas - IE LEGS) and develops physically (properly develops, not just slamming on summer-muscle) he will get quicker. Just needs to build some strength in the quads etc.

Don't need to be quick to be effective. Realistically the HBF/Wing should have been Matt White's. Epic F-U by RFC.

No it wasn't, bit part player who makes a token appearance in highlight reels

Need a bloke who can run and carry. White did a good job of that when told to do so. Wanted 2 years, offered 1, left.

Hampson, can tap in the ruck. Otherwise great for staring blankly and blankly staring. Offered 3 years.

Perspective...

On Hampson we agree, massive f up by RFC

I never realised they televised all the VFL games into WA?

IMO If in time he cant play thru the midfield as an almost permanent fixture  he wont make it. oh stuff it ill call it as i see it. slow, cant find enough of his own  ball,  soft. three major concerns. those of you who will come on here now and defend him,  tell me what attributes he has to offset these things and what role does his attributes allow him to play.

ffs the kid had knee surgery at the start of last year..

he avg 25 possies a game in TAC,  so he can find the pill. during the carnival he avg 28 with 60% contested.  plays a very similar game as goddard.


 im starting to think you just make stuff up for the sake of laying into players or coaches or anything at all concerning richmond..

gotta say these over the top reactions are hilarious.i take it from this reaction ben lennopn has no weaknesses and if he does we should not be discussing them.
for me hes been a very disappointing first rnd pick to date. in saying that im more than happy to jusdge him in 3 yrs time but in the mean time i will criticise him and voice what i see as his weaknesses.

over the top! sh#t    i would have thought writing a kid off after 7 games, 5 of which he started as sub, as over the top!

AND yes of course hes got weeknesses, he's 19yo ffs. 

i try to ignore your posts mostly, but occasionally you say such idiotic things that you need to be corrected. i have read your choices of players to draft over the years, on here and other forums, and i would rather trust FJ

Jeez

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Not your best work Craw. Bengal just pwned you good and proper. Best you put tail between pegs and move on

They'll give him a contact extension too, 80% due to protecting arses of those who drafted him in the first place and 20% out of blind hope that he comes good

[Diocletian]

Lack of pace notwithstanding, at worst Lennon will be a better version of Mitch Morton.

[georgies31]

To early ,but must say not convinced on him considering pick he was a pick 12. Looks to casual and one paced.

I agree with you, he won't make it. Has no standout attributes for mine

i said if his game cant translate to him becoming a mid he wont make it big difference to saying he isnt good enough and wont make it.
i would have thought that was as plain as day yet there are some around here who read into posts what they like. it makes one wonder about their intelligence at times because they clearly have no comprehension skills.yet they have a hide to have a go at my gramma.

you have my apolgies wp. for myself i was just returning fire. i feel i would not have had a need to if some things were nipped in the bud a bit quicker.

Goal sense?

Yes - he plays his best football up forward.
