The earlier the better. I know they say these thing shouldn't weigh on you, but they if only sub consciously do. It's like when a cricketer gets to 90+ then takes forever to get the tonne.
 
He has planned it all summer to make his 900th the first goal of the game on anzac day. He has just been pacing himself the first 4 rounds. Lloyd will go nuts from now on. just u wait n see :cool:

Like when Warney took forever to get past Dennis Lillee's record of most wickets by an Aussie.

I think he was thinking about it today and it may have got to him a bit.

In case anyone wasn't sure, Lloyd now has 899 career goals. He will become the 3rd youngest of the 8 players to kick 900 career goals. Tony Lockett was the last player to reach 900, as well as the last player to reach 1000 goals. He achieved both of these feats in 1996.

Lockett's 900th - his 1st goal v Freo, R2, 1996 - http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/games/1996/081619960407.html

All of 10,965 fans were there to see it at the SCG. And they lost to Freo!

Lockett's 1000th - his 4th goal v Essendon, R21, 1996 (MCG) - http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/games/1996/051619960824.html

A few more people this time - 69,237 at the MCG.
 
While Lloyd is 8th on the career goalkicking table, he's 6th on the career club goalkicking ladder, having passed Lockett this weekend. Can Lloyd pass Lethal against Hawthorn in 3 weeks time? Note that Richo has a milestone coming up too.

The players really need to use this milestone should it happen and get around him. I expect all the 18 on the ground to get around him and the crowd to really get up for it.

lockett kicked his 900th goal in his first game for sydney in r1 1995, he kicked his 1000th v freo at the scg in r21, 1995.

i think you'll find ablett kicked his 1000th in 1996.

184 lockett
188 dunstall
220 ablett
224 coventry
226 wade
*game number 257 for lloydy this week.

yep. Lloyd to get it in the 2nd minute of the first quarter, going on to kick 17 to surpass Lethal Matthews on the all-time list, and club record list
 
Interesting to note Matthew Richardson about to join the 800 club as well.
Congrats to Richo as well. Probably does not have enough years to reach the 900 club, but he is playing great footy.

Has Lloyd got enough in the tank to get to 1000? To do so I would think he needs to play closer to goal for the rest of his career.
