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).

Congratulations and I hope I never hear BT call another Lloyd game.

Hasn't always been a favourite of mine, liked him more as time passes but 250 is amazing

Particularly coming off the rookie list.

I really liked him from his first game in the ressies.
I liked that he was on his man in defence.
And
As soon as we got the ball he was 10-15 meters away calling for the ball.
He did it with ease.

Always a fan.

Didn't like it when they put him in defence.

Cramped his style.
 
Better wingman than defender

If his best skilton years were when we were contending we’d consider him much more highly

Congrats 250
 
Not bad for a player that has been dropped from the side or traded to the Gold Coast multiple times by a few people on this board. Hope that he makes it to 300 games as it would be a milestone that would be well deserved.
I think he should've been dropped for Lachie Rankin a few years ago? Along with Hayward dropped for HHK? And of course Heeney traded.

Think we have really seen a drop off in Lloyd this year and don't really know why because he looked in the form of his life at the end of last year but wow the numbers don't lie. Sucks because it would be great to see him get to 300 but don't know if his footy will get him there, unless we see a big turnaround. Screenshot 2025-04-12 at 10.37.23 AM.png
 
Lloyd mark at half back, stop waiting 10 -15 seconds and then chip it backwards to a swans player. Doesn't fit our model moving forward. Time to move on. Cunningham replaces him.
 
I just think he's the only one where we don't know which position he can slot into him. It could be one of 3 and thats not necessarily a good thing. Juzzy and then even futher Errol back probably means he comes out. Because one of Roberts or Bice isn't going to come out for him and we have other personnel if we're talking Co Warner, Sheldrick, Cleary

Roberts looked really slow last night

Or he ends up just bombing in to the outnumber or spare. I'd rather he goes quickly and we loose it or win it and maybe lower kicks...his kicks are loopy and high. It was one of the exasperating things last night.
