Is lloydy the most one dimensional full forward to play the game?

When he is on he is on but I have never seen him turn it on in any other part of the ground?

Generally if he is not kicking goals he is not doing anything else.

And for god sake isn't the first rule of Junior footy to " keep your feet"

Surely someone could teach him that.

He cant FFS! He's always been a Full Forward nothing else. That's the only position he knows. He has cemented the FF position at Essendon since 1996 how would he know to play any other position.

No, there was the greatest one in Tony Lockett.
 
Actually Lloydy played alright in a shithouse side. Kicked some goals and took a couple of good marks. Tried his hardest up the ground but I'm afraid he needs to stay at FF. We need Scotty!
 
What is the point in this thread???

He has only ever played Full Forward and will play FF for the rest of his career.

What are you trying to suggest "play him Full back!".
 
All I want from Lloyd is to keep his feet more in marking situations, its very hard to put on defensive pressure when your on the ground.

Yep agree-- leave him there and teach him to keep his feet. He is one dimesional and needs to be left in the square. Watch how many times a ball is cleared from a contested situation with LLoyd on a lead. if he doesn't mark it - 90% of the time it is cleared because he has that bloody habbit of going to ground. It is just not good enough!!!
 
OP here are some good ones for you

Wade, Peck, Hudson, McKenna, Donohue, Beasley, Dunstall, Lockett, Longmire, Cummings, Modra, Neitz (now), Gehrig (now), Fevola

PS They have all won the Coleman
 
Getting him rotated is absolute b ...shit leave him on the ground and in the square - DONT KNOW WHAT THERE TRYING TO DO BY ROTATING HIM, its got me stuffed:mad:

If we could actually kick the footy to him he may go alright. He has lost some of the zip he had on the lead but yesterday i counted 12 leads he made where he was clear but the kicks came in high and he had to prop and slow down which meant his opponent was able to jump over him and punch the ball away. If we actually hit him low and hard with just half of the kicks he would have had six shots at goal and kicks maybe 4.2 or 3.3 more.
Yes he is not as quick as he used to be and he is not as good in contested situatins since he broke his arm and yes he is one dimentional but the feed to him is terrible. We can't consistantly hit him when he is in the clear.
 
Lloyd + interrupted pre season + calf injury = Underdone.

I hate how media commentators and supporters jump on someone as soon as they struggle a little.

He is a proven performer. But look at the facts.

He has also lost the support of Lucas and no doubt the retirement of Hird has also had an effect on the team.

A predominantly youthful team. Bad delivery at times and not being 100% fit. Give him a chance.
 
Lloyd is full forward full stop.

Should never leave the forward area just stay there, but poor old Matty has to go up ground to get his cheap kicks so his stats look better, that sticks out like the balls on a dog, he is so dumb he can't see that, a new term for our captain.

Capitan kick it to me
Capitan I want a kick
Capitan I'm up the ground again

:D
 
I think he tries to "impose" (I say that very loosely) himself a lot more these days as captain by moving up the ground a lot more and taking a grab or two on the wing and getting into the play. This does not suit him. He always has, and always will be a Full Forward so he needs to stay down there. It also raises the question whether he can captain a side from Full Forward, especially when his midfield is regularly beaten.

I think his minor celebration as well yesterday after kicking a goal to reduce the margin to "only" 8 goals in the last quarter when the game was over was a little over the top. It was brief, yes, but he looked totally delighted to kick the goal as if we were going to win the game. Look, I think he is great and one of our most important and influential players, but whether he can captain a rebuilding team from Full Forward with a midfield that is struggling is going to be a constant issue.

Yep, they're were/are one dimensional... and they're also going to be the only 6 full-forwards to kick over 1000 goals. The only player to kick over 1000 goals that had the versatility to play in another position, arguably the greatest footballer in history, Gary Ablett Snr. Nuff said!

He kicks 3 and it's still not good enough? FFS. We were smashed today. If Lloyd not keeping his feet is of most concern to you than you need to watch the replay.

One was arguably a poster, one was a gimme and one was when the game was dead and buried. For whatever reason, he's not the Lloyd of old, who I would really fear whenever we played Essendon...

Well summed up linchpin. Pity some of our own supporters can't see this.
I have said it in a few threads, Lloyd said not to expect him to be his best before rd 6 - 8, because he was underdone. The loss of Lucas has compounded the pressure because he is the only target now.
Get off his back, and be more worried about the crap delivery. Low and in front of the lead. Or one out in the square he can still take marks, or create the contest. But not three on 1.

how about you stop staging for frees all the time ,and just get back to doing what you do best, and that is leading and kicking accurately.

No, You said Why don't you stop diving? Unless you know Matty Lloyd is on here, you were talking to one of us. Did Lloyd dive on ANZAC Day, no. You take the one little bit of knowledge you think you know about Lloyd and run with it. If you really watched him, you would know the dive is not that big a part of his game. I bet,, you are the sort of little kid, who reads what someone else has written, then just recycles their misinformed opinion because you know absolutely nothing about anything.
