I went to school with a kid called Ray Allsopp.
I assume it's not him.
Well done Lloydy!!! True champ of our game.

Congrats Lloydy, well deserved. But I'm a little confused... it says he played his 300th game last year but he's only played 270? Are they counting pre-season games as well?

Yes, also includes games for Victoria and Australia for the International Rules.
I cannot remember him playing his 300th career game...
Oh well - Well done Lloydy

Ok, thanks for clearing that up.:thumbsu:
just reading this article on the HS it would seem Lloydy made a lot of other fans Jealous of him over the years!! Hopefully theres a kid on our list that can make other teams hate us again!!!
Most of the comments are about Lloydy!!
But i guess we will remember him for the Great contested marks and great goal kicking accuracy!! other people remember him for what they post in these comments, which i honestly have no recollection of!!
