Lloyd v. Richo

[Selective Retention]

Just throwing it out there

 

[King_Tredrea]

Lloyd....

 

[Tranquilli37]

Lloyd...JUST.

 

[deledio7]

Hard one for me. Lloyd obviously had alot more success but purely as a footballer I believe Richo is better. Just my biased opinion of course.

 

[GrandBlue]

Lloyd as a pure forward, Richo for everywhere else around the ground.

 

[007Tigers]

richo easy, and not just coz im a tigers man, lloyd might have kicked 100 more goals but i reckon if lloyd had of been at the tigers and richo at the bombers richo prob would have got the 1000 goals....

its funny how lloyds best seasons were the ones here bombers did really well.... im taking nothing away from lloyd what he did was special but its at easier to look/be good with a good team around you

 

[DeanoT]

Lloyd easily. He could kick straight, which is the primary job of a forward.

Don't let Richo's popularity confuse you into thinking he is in the league of Lloyd.

 

[daniel2323]

richo. but as a hawks supporter i naturally hate lloyd

 

[Spluff]

Wow, the Essendon supporters are out in force.

 

[tubbis]

As a forward, Lloyd.
Every other department: Richo (He's a good bloke)

 

[thebigboy]

Inside 50 - Lloyd
Rest of the Ground - Richo.

 

[Hodgepodge]

Lloyd was a FF and only managed 100 more goals than Richo. Richo played on the wing in his penultimate year, also played FF and CHF throughout his career.

I think that says it all.

Lloyd at 50 was unreal. Outside 55 Richo was better.

 

[Jade]

I think this poll has been done a number of times.

Lloyd for me, however it is far from the "Lloyd Easy" statements I sometimes see.

Richo was a phenomenal player, and is shaded by Lloyd.

 

[DeanoT]

Wow, the Essendon supporters are out in force.

That's quite funny, because until you posted not one Essendon supporter had made a comment in this thread

Two Richmond supporters did post, and surprise, surprise, they think Richo is better.

Don't confuse a good popular player with a player of the calibre of Matthew Lloyd. The comparison is laughable.

I think it was intended to be funny. Thanks for confirming it with your in depth analysis.

I think that says it all.

And Lloyd played at FF consistently for his last 2 years did he?

Thought not.

Nice way of defending your co-supporter. His comment was clearly idiotic, not an attempt at humour. Typical of Richo supporters who can't possibly see why anyone would rate/like Lloyd ahead of Richo, unless they were an Essendon supporter.

 

['51 Bewick]

Both great footballers and champions of their respective clubs. No comparisons needed as any club would be happy to have either player.

It doesn't tell you anything..

If you want to pull out dumb one-dimensional stats like that then..

Richo: 17 years in the game, 282 games, 800 goals
Lloyd: 14 years in the game, 270 games, 926 goals.

Stupid comparison HP.

Probably. Gotta defend your own though.

Richo had a lot more possesions and marks. Also 43 more brownlow votes despite playing in a loser team his whole career.

That's quite funny, because when you take out all the Richmond and Essendon supporters votes, Richo is winning.

Don't confuse your opinion with anything actually resembling the truth. The comparison is laughable.

Where did you get this information ?

As said earlier, don't confuse popularity with success.

Not embarassing at all. I asked you where you got the info, and you provided it.

Now I will say it for a third time - popularity does not equal success. I would not expect a Richmond supporter to know anything about success.
