Give Carlton a second round pick and either Batchelor/Astbury/Griffiths.

Far too much imho. 2nd rounder and no more.

If Lennon goes it will be the worst decision the club has made since the Tambling debacle and the many more including Pavlich... :banghead

We cannot let this happen, do we need a petition....??

Really
Only played 9 games this year

Whose fault is that Jack? Come on he should have played most games if we have a coach with eyes

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

I think Lennon is extremely talented. However, we cannot have the tail wagging the dog at the club. If he wants to leave because of that, let him leave. Sooks should not be tolerated. We can't kowtow to a second year player no matter how good he is.

If sooks shouldn't be tolerated then why are we bringing in Yarran? Who, btw, is not 19 anymore but 24, nearly 25 and still sooking it up.

Would also suggest that Yarran not trying in matches is a hell of a lot worse form of sooking it up than what Lennon is allegedly doing.

On that topic, I wonder who Ivan Maric is going to bring into the club this year. First Knights then his cousin. We're due

The club is in no position to trade out a kid with huge potential and untried.

There is 12 players who are older and less upside than Lennon.

No1 is untraceable but if Lennon is part of a trade involving Yarran it better be a top 18 pick as well.

Surely before Lennon the club would be offering up Grigg, Batch, Conca, Griff, Dea and as a very last resort Astbury.

Lennon cant go, he is 19 years old, a round 1 pick and he has shown his capabilities already, with a full pre-season this kid will be on fire come round 1.

Yeah but the supposed 12 have no currency

Lennon has currency

You are drawing a very long bow with Knights. Have you got any proof that Maric forced the club to get him? If you have, put it out there or all you are doing is creating vicious rumours that are false. With his cousin too, he may have suggested them to rookie him but I highly doubt that he blackmailed the club into doing it. Lennon is blackmailing the club from what the rumours are saying wanting more money before he signs. That is what I'm saying about the tail wagging the dog.

They are completely different situations. Yarran is a former number 6 pick. His club has been an abomination with sacking coaches. Despite averaging 16 possessions a game he was dropped to the magoos. He's also given them 6-7 years of service. Lennon is still in nappies. He has not given enough service to the club who took him in front of Cripps. He still owes the club for giving him an opportunity. He is not entitled to behave like this at this point in his career.

Look I don't want to lose a guy like Lennon who oozes talent. But if he is behaving like this now, I'm afraid he'll just walk as a FA to the highest bidder if and when he gets to that stage. I hope we are all wrong and he is happy and stays at tigerland.

I would trade Grigg, Conca, Griff and Dea before Lennon, make the Blues take our lower group of players for change.

What would you give for Yarran if you reckon those two players (who you always bring up as being spuds) are worth a second rounder
