I don't see him on the track so can't say whether he's lazy or not. I can say from what he's delivered on the field that he lacks intent and when you already have questions over your pace it comes across as looking a bit lazy..

"He's lazy"
I mention this in regards to his output so far in his career & especially this year.
Ellis and Menedue have already surpassed him in the minds of the selection committee and that's a concern in light of our knowledge of the fact that Ellis didn't have a preseason and the clubs expectation of Menedue was only long term ie...."3 years away"

He was lauded at draft for his ability in contested footy, his versatility, overhead marking and precise kicking, question is, when will we get to see this consistently at senior level? And is he working hard enough to achieve this?

....I hope I'm wrong though because I have high expectations for this kid.

Won't achieve anything at senior level if he doesn't get a game

He shouldn't get a senior game unless he earns it.

So it's one rule for Lennon but another for the likes of Newman & Vickery then?

Do the like of morris and Chaplin earn a game every week?

Or are they given it without merit?

I don't think any player should get a game unless they've earned it.

Go and watch him live and see for yourself his improved work rate and willingness to run both ways. Improving every week, my belief is he needs to be played in the senior team for the rest of the year as he has class.

The clubs expectations of Menedue after his great pre season was selection for round 1. This changed after the pre season games but believe me, he was expected to play this year and to his credit, he has.
