I'm not too shore if your telling the truth because I saw knights today at windy hill when I went to get a number on my top. What time did you see him?
King Deledio
16 Sep 2009, 14:43
I just saw him half an hour ago. I work in the city and I know what I saw.
That would be a bizzare move.
It would completely contradict Knights on everything he has said re Lloyd not being guaranteed full forward next year.
Knighter has ulterior motives in place with regards to Lloyd.
I saw him in the city with Barry Hall today having a chat, he wants to retire Lloyd only to replace him with Hall.
They were having lunch at the Elms in Spring Street.
Solid replacement IMO :thumbsu::thumbsu:
He may have been talking with Hall but there are no ulterior motives involved.
FFS don't you people listen or read.
The club has been very clear about what is going on and so has Knights.
They have told LLoyd they want him to play on but they have also said he can not expect to command FF or to expect to be a definate in the 22 every week if his form is patchy.
Knights has been very up front on the issue. He has told LLoyd what he sees is his role and he has said we are happy for him to play on so there is no grey areas at all.
The ball is in Lloyds court now. He has to decide if he is willing to go along with what the coach has planned.

Leaving Uni today I also saw Knights today walking on LaTrobe St. Is this anywhere near the Elms Resteraunt?
That would be a bizzare move.

Hall never played just FF. He played a roaming forward role a lot of the time which is what Lloyd has been told will with him.

U r delusional mate. Read between the lines, Knights wants to push out Lloyd. He only wants him to stay IF he comples with Knights' demands of playing on a HFF. LLoydy would be better suited to go the Dogs. Hall has more potential than Lloyd in the Bomber forward line. Replace a sniper with a thug!!

King Deledio, what kind of a horse's hoof name is that anyway. Lloyd was a star of our club, show some respect. He deserves a farewell game.

Yep i know nothing about what is going on :rolleyes:
Maybe you should check my record around this board as far as inside info on Essendon goes and then get back to me;)
Anyway you have said what i actually quoted peanut. Did i not say Knights is happy for him to play on if he fills the role that Knights wants and also that he was not guaranteed a spot at FF or even in the side ?
Do you have trouble reading ?
Ant, you're yet to dismiss this rumour. Please don't tell me we are actually considering this???
Clubs talk to a lot of players.
From what i am hearing Lloyd is probably 80/20 to retire.
I guess what happens after that is clubs talk to a number of players who are available. Personally if Lloyd gives it away i could live with Hall.

Do you think he has much to offer us? I just can't see the point in getting him (Unless he was to give Campbell Brown a few)

Agree Ant, well said. If Matty retires Hall would be a solid replacement. He's more the roaming forward anyway.

16 Sep 2009, 15:15
No offense but this would have to be one of the most bizarre moves if true. Lloyd is a legend at your club and it'd be a massive slap in his face IMO if Hall was to replace him, who is basically the same age and also play the same position (although different styles).

there would be a revolution if lloyd retired and we picked up hall. seriously, irrespective of the genuine-ness of the dealings with lloyd, the public perception would be catastrophic. and god knows what the playing group would make of it all.
due diligence probably requires we check out all options. but i want it to go no further.

pretty sure they are twins. and not an iq point between them.
Possibly a mentoring role. Knights may see some similarity in the way Neagle plays and could be seeking Barry to help with his development.
This is a much more likely scenario than Barry being asked to play for the Bombers next season. There is no chance that this will happen.

Focus on commenting about your own club unless you've got anything more than fictional rumors about our recruiting.

Fair call SDR. But don't you think Hall and Jay would be a daunting prospect in the one forward line? Opposition coaches would tremble at the thought. Bring Barry in I say (but only if Lloyd retires).
Bullshit. I saw Knights have coffee with Damien Peverill at 1:45 in Colac.

Well I noticed he keeps off Keilor Rd and takes the back streets (I assume he's going to Windy Hill).
Interesting stuff to say the least.

Close to his use by date, prone to brain fades and more expensive than a very high class hooker.
Although his dukes rival NLM as being the best in the league right now, I doubt he'd be worth the gamble.

As for the whole Hall coming to essendon I don't want him!

But were Knights and Hall in the back seat? And was Hall hunched over a bit of paper, as though he were signing a contract?

Heh, yeah but that wouldn't stop people from linking the two together and somehow arriving at the conclusion that Lloyd must, just MUST, have been forced out and replaced with Hall.
I believe jsd09 would be one of the leaders of the revolution Saladin was talking about.

i saw hardwick running the tan on monday lunchtime...i reckon he was having a secret meeting with lloydy who runs the tan quite often.
Hall never played just FF. He played a roaming forward role a lot of the time which is what Lloyd has been told will with him.
As much as I'd hate to watch Lloydy hang up the boots, I don't think he has as much to offer (coaching/development aside) if he can't play @ FF. Barry Hall is a much better roaming forward and like you've said in a later post, I'd be happy to pick him up for a year. Both quality premiership players.

Are you kidding?? I've been thriveted to all the motions in the CBD today.
Although the suburban segue by LeeArm was choice. :thumbsu:
Would it surprise anyone though that Knights had to meet with him anyway. Either out of duty or just to provide Hall with some perspective.
It means naught... although the PR will not bless Knights despite any fairminded intentions. And he is not my favorite bloke atm over the LLoyd issue but keep it real.

17 Sep 2009, 08:39
Hall to the Bombers to replace Lloyd , there would be a revolt against that .
Lloyd has been played out of position for 2 seasons to give the kids a go however its not been a good decision .Lloyd must play next year .The kids are not as " game day smart " as Lloyd is .

With respect Ant55 your post clears nothing.
Firstly Lloyd has known for 2 years that he wont command full forward in this side so there is nothing new there. He won runners up playing half forward.
Secondly as football is a multi million dollar business no player in the AFL thinks they will get a game if they don't deserve it/form is patchy so nothing new there.
Knights is weak as p i s s - the club wants him to play on/if he decides to play on we will support him blah blah blah. Yes or no from the horses mouth would be sufficient thanks Matthew Knights not the beat around the bush crap that you feel inclined to deliver.
Ant55 there is nothing new from this time last year to Lloyds position in the side so what's changed to make him be considering retiring at age 31 and within site of the 1000 goals that we know he would love to reach. There is more going on 100% than we know of.

Maybe he was asking him to help our Forwards over the pre-season? Why do people jump to such conclusions, replacing a Legendary 31 year old with a 32 year old... not going to happen. I think Neagle has a lot of Hall's qualities, maybe Knights is going to ask for Hall to mentor him?

Sorry mate, you should have copyrighted it :D. Good to see someone who sees Neagle as a similar player to Hall, I really didn't want to wade through the crap on the first page that was being posted to post my opinion. :P

ha ha. Not having a go at you mate. Just commenting on the fact that no matter how much common sense get's made, people will still believe in and post utter rubbish.
Definetly see similarities with Neagle and Hall. Especially in the way they lead up. It would be great if he got close to being the player Hall is.
similarities between Jay and Barry???????
Would like it if it turns out to be, but sorry Im not seeing it at the present in Jay apart from frustration being his ruler.

It would be an absolute disgrace if Hall was to come to Essendon. Not sure who hacked into ant555's account but anyone agreeing this would be an ok move is an absolute fool.

It's a good point, Lloyd has been playing that roll for 2 years so there's nothing new there.
I think what's changed is probably the inclination Lloyds got that he won't be getting a game for alot of the year and will be playing at Bendigo which understandably, wouldn't be ideal.

I thought Lloyd had been told that he would be spared the humiliation of playing for Bendigo, instead he would be rested if out of form.
