Jake Lloyd

Player Profile
Jake Lloyd is a ball magnet, an endurance machine, a clean user of the footy and a calming influence on the Sydney Swans’ half-back line. The former rookie-listed Swan averaged 27.22 disposals per match between 2016 and 2019 and won the club’s 2018 Bob Skilton Medal. Lloyd became the quickest Swan in history to reach 100 senior games when he ran out against Hawthorn at the MCG in Round 8, 2018. He was then recognised as one of the best players in the league when he was selected for Victoria in the State of Origin match for bushfire relief in February 2019. Draft history: 2013 Rookie Draft selection (Sydney) No. 15; 2014 AFL Draft rookie elevation (Sydney).

Lloyd: I have heaps of superstitions

In the next instalment of On the Mark, midfielder Jake Lloyd speaks superstitions and his late start in football.

Needs to be Okeefed, woefully out of form

Not getting 25 easy possessions, can't tackle, good but low penetrative kick, and lost like many wings.

I feel the problem for Lloyd is that if we execute our game plan well he basically gets bypassed especially if he is playing in defence.

If he is in defence that then means he has to play a proper defensive role which doesn't suit him and if he is playing off the wing he just won't get as many possessions as he needs to considering his lack of attacking weapons compared to the likes of Blakey, Gulden, Heeney and Campbell.

Of course he figured out how to be an important player for us over a number of years so it is always possible he will figure out how to be more effective in this current team.

I think it was noticeable that when we shuffled the positions in the second half he ended up on the wing. I don’t think we can afford to play Lloyd Roberts Florent in the same defensive unit as none of them are great defensively

Agreed. The defensive unit without Rampe and with those three isn’t gonna cut it imo. Rampe’s absence is always very keenly felt for me and it was so again today.

Interesting that McInerney and Fox ended up down back too in the 2nd half. McInerney only had 1 CBA this week too so indicates a shift we might continue seeing with Rampe out and Parker/Adams returning or already in the side. Would prefer McInerney in the middle and forward though.

When we originally moved Lloyd back from the wing after Malceski and Shaw moved on we needed a ball handler and he was it.
In the process we proceeded to build our defence around his shortcomings for years. That time is now past.
