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).

[The King!]

arent we discussing how good he has become?

 

[BloodySwan]

Would love for Lloyd's brother to be drafted. I know nothing about the kid (outside that article above) but always like seeing two brothers in the same team

Yeah it worked, signed a rookie who broke into our 22. We just couldn't retain him

 

[Wolftone]

Lloyd's possessions aren't that damaging and he isn't the quickest player, but he runs all day - I notice he covers a lot of ground during games - and our coaches seem to rate this.

I disagree with the assertion his disposals aren't that damaging. In fact I'd say, other than Newman, he would be our most damaging player as he sets up the defensive movement structure. He disposes at an average of 74.2% career and over 79.5% this year. Sure he makes some fluff ups that make us wince but the good far outweigh the bad. Ant player with those disposal efficiency stats is hurting the opposition. The other thing is his about ability to get free all the time is causing opposition coaches nightmares. Newman is proving just as illusive and is hurting opposition with a 78.2 DE.

I can't believe we are actually discussing Lloyd.
For the first six rounds this year we had very little to be pleased about, with the improvement in Lloyd and Jones the only real bright spots.
He's no superstar for sure, but for a low pick in the rookie draft he's pretty bloody good if you ask me.

He's our leading possession winner so far this season at 79.5. That is pretty elite if you ask me. If the umpires have noticed him, defended often get overlooked by umpires, he would be leading our Brownlow count as well. Best player for us all year and still racked up a quiet 35 on the weekend.

Article on Jake Lloyd in Fairfax.

"In what will come as a surprise to all but the club's closest watchers, Lloyd leads the Swans in stats such as effective kicks and disposals, handball receives, uncontested marks and uncontested possessions. That's some performance from a player who was taken with pick 15 in a rookie draft."

Elite disposal by foot & a future A-grader. Or so i've been told.

Reality:

1. C-grade footskills
2. D-grade football player
3. Pea heart who gets physically outmuscled in 99% of 1 on 1 contests

Have I left anything out?

Not only is he not elite but he is decidedly below average - which is saying something in a watered-down 18 team comp.

So for the sake of my own sanity, can we please put an end to the mindless comparisons between him & players like Jetta & McVeigh?

Things can and do change...

Yes, he now turns the ball over on kick-ins as well.

Hes improved (hard not to) but still a bottom 6 player.

Lol you jest. Should be leading the Bobby Skilton by a street up to this point

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Lloyd is the new Fosdike. So boringly consistent that no one cares.

He's top 10 this season.

He needs to be signed up long term quick.

Most consistent player all year Buddy excluded.

Been a rock.

He's the most consistent player all year Buddy included. Lloyd's done his role every week and done it bloody well

Big call. I'd be really interested to know who else is in your bottom 6 players along with Lloyd.

Wow!!! Did he run over your dog on Bondi Rd or something???

Or rather, which 16 are better for that matter.

No, but I don't have his poster on my wall either. No doubt there will be a few who get theirs signed and framed.

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

Geezus........takes all types I guess.

 

[MF]

Haha. This thread reminds me of my great uncle who used to slag off Grundy every chance he got. He went quiet for about 6 years until Grundy had a couple of poor games earlier this year before declaring "he's still s**t"

My Dad used to do that with Mark Waugh.
