With 6 goals to go for ML to hit the 800 mark and join the other 10 Elite players in the history of the AFl/VFL to achieve this - who will he kick his 800th goal against....???

Wouldnt it be great for Lloyd to kick it after the siren to beat the Eagles by 2 points.
games to reach 800
165 lockett
168 mckenna
171 dunstall
199 ablett
200 wade
203 coventry
*220 lloyd
lloydy will be the 4th youngest at 29 to reach this great milestone though.
lockett was 27 (amazing considering how much football he missed, mckenna and dunstall were 28)

He's a chance I reckon, and that's no disrespect to Glass.
Id say Port also. Hope its WCE though.

I highly doubt that Lloydy will kick 6 on D.Glass.
So far this season he has kicked 2,4,5,3,3,4,3,3. The 5 came against Carlton and let's be honest Setanta is still learning the full-back role. Against a quality opponent like Glass I would think he has his work cut out for him.
West Coast.
He is well over due for a huge bag.
bring it on
6 Jun 2007, 10:14
i say port.. he will prob kick 3 or 4 this week b ut against port he goes off....

In All seriousness, probably port.

yeah once again would be fantastic to see him kick a bag and beat the eagles but unfortuantely will prob reach the milestone in South Australia. With how many years lloyd has left? what 5 or 6. How many do you recon he will have at the end of his career and where will this put him in regards to the greatest coventary and lockett
I have a sneaking suspicion that Lloydy's going to have a good one on Friday.
I'll back him to kick 6 and bring up the 800.
As for the total at the end of his career, I'd hope he cracks the 1000.
Essentially, all he needs is 50 goals a season for the next 4 seasons to crack a 1000. Wouldnt imagine he'll get close to the lofty heights set by Ablett, Lockett & co. but top 1% of goalkickers is one mighty stat to add to one's resume.

Next week he should get it, he should be able to kick 3 on Wakelyn shouldn't he? I think the Port game will be the game where he bursts into some good form and kick's a bag, well, so im hoping!

9 Jun 2007, 01:17
lloydy will kick his 800th againts port
hird+lloyd=legends
9 Jun 2007, 01:22
he can kick 3 on wakelyn easy.
Meanwhile Lucas kicked his 400th tonight.......
Lloyd will do it next week no doubt, how good is it to see him taking contested marks again?

true in bombers eyes, remember lockett missed 11 games in 88, 12 in 89, 8 in 1991, 9 in 1993, 11 in 1994.
would have kicked over 2000 if played all games.
we can all be pressumptuous at times.
the would haves and could haves.
be happy with what he what he truly has done.
He was an angry man tonight. Had my heart in my throat that he was going to get reported at one stage.

he has to get to at least 350 games for that feat and even then wouldnt do it.
loydd is a star, however in all fairness his best is behind him, nesxt year will be 30, no way has he that long left in him.
he isnt buckley, harvey or hird and can never measure to any of those guys that are up there.

come off it, the bloke will be 34, by the way u want courtney johns to fire up, he looks promising, go vic sides, go sheeds sign him up, a nice bloke that sheeds.
peter1979
17 Jun 2007, 22:20
i hope the dons sign sheeds for another 5 years, break mchales record and stick it to the pies, onya sheeds a nice bloke.
keep up the hard work, a true champion on and off the filed.

Well, if our midfield stocks continue to improve and hopefully, our delivery, he's going to have more opportunities to kick bags of goals. This isnt as good as it gets for him, we still have stock to turn over come post season/draft time
peter1979
19 Jun 2007, 12:28

ropey comment there, considering that he averages 3 goals a game.
thinking that he missed 6 games in 02, 4 games in 01 and missed 19 last year.
thats 25 games, if he is on target for 800, and he played all 25 games and kicked say 80 more, he will still be a long way of 950.
secondly ur not thinking aboutb the games he would have played and his average for goals wouldnt be too crash hot.
to be going for 950 as u said proves ur defintion of not understanding a 4 goal average from a full forward.
he has 223 this weekend, had he played all last year and the other 8 games, he would be going for 250 games this weekend.
again he would have needed a record breaking season of 150 goals.
he cant be compared to the greats of the game, easily because he has kicked double figures 3 times in his career, and a century of goals twice.
both during grand final years, also never actually gott those centuries during the home and away season but rather through playing finals.
unlike ablett, modra, dunstall, mckenna and lockett, who all did so during the 22 games.
lockett and dunstall were on target for their 1000th career goals by game 200, and missed 3 times the amount of games loydd has.

222 games, double figures kicked 3 times in his 222 game career.
2 centuries in back to back grand final years both of which were powerful teams.
his best has passed him, he is alot older, had injury finally catch up with him.
the season u had in 2000 u can never againrepeat, which means that loydd cant do any better than when he was 21, 22, 23.
get johns to fire, i like him.
peter1979
19 Jun 2007, 12:33

no way, the poor bloke has put his body on the line, has played alot of footy, its unfair to expext so much from this man.
let him wait and see how his body holds up in the next 5 years.
come on bomber fans, be fair to ur champ, seriously he isnt james superstar hird.
peter1979
19 Jun 2007, 12:38
bombers for ur sakes, get off the loydd band wagon, and look to johns, he isnt getting enough support, its always about loydd, come on dons poor old loydd needs to relax abit, before ashole teams start harrowing him down in his twilight football years.
remember some ******** teams started targetting hird the last couple of years.
he is ur captain, look after him and have players always fly the flag for the captain.
dont put so much pressure on the man.
i liked the youngster dempsey, he looks great for the future.
Well if he doesnt kick a bag soon (I mean big bag) then my $50 for the Coleman will be down the drain.

i dont mind the bombers, its only when u supporters have un necessary cracks at carlton i throw shots back.
but hey fairs fair i like the bombers coach sheeds, who i have met a couple of times by chance meeting is a genuinely nice bloke, has a nice personality, why else have the players over the years had such a great and noble respect for him.
gotta give credit where its due and i would be a little sad for the game if u dont resign him.

Lloyd's 800th was fantastic and should reach 1000 by the end of his career, easy. One of the greatest forwards, and we are lucky enough to have had him in our side.

lloydy 811 and has superboot bernie quinlan in his sights (815) which will put him as the 9th greatest goalkicker in the game.
just looking thru the list he's only 246 behind wade which would put him in
4th spot. surely thats achievable and perhaps more depending on how many games his career spans.

Was his hero growing up so that'll be a big moment for him.

if essendon got everything working right next do u think Lloyd could kick 100 again or was sheedy right when he said we most likely wont see a forward kick a ton in a season again?

course we'll see it again. just don't know when with no out and out superstar full forward going about at the moment.
anyways he's passed superboot. well done lloydy!!
only 8 guys in front of him.
i don't have a prob with him passing 7 of them (or for that matter lockett as well as long as he does it in the same amount of games or less) ;)
the equation for you lloydy....543 goals in 53 games.
Not that he'd read this but congrats to Lloydy on passing Quinlan!
As Darealrath said, Bernie was Lloyd's hero growing up (the player that made him want to be a FF) so I'm sure he'll be chuffed. :)

bernie retired when lloydy was 8.
how much footy do we all remember before we were 8 ????

True but he's said before that the reason why he wanted to become a FF was because the first game he ever went to Bernie kicked 9 goals.
