Lloydy - The games biggest CHERRY PICKER...

[Macpie]

What a very poor thread.

an analysis of how many of Lloyds goals are soft would be interesting. bit sad to see him run behingd the pack yesterday and not get in the contest. sure he got the goal but if the ball had been defended would have looked pretty gutless

 

[macca33]

While Lloyd has been handed a few goals this year, he has also assisted numerous goals instead of kicking them himself. Triple M said a few weeks back during the Carlton game that he is perhaps the most unselfish full forward of all time.

So all you haters out there give it a rest... He's a great player who leads hard and fast and converts well, earning his goals. Only doing the best for his team. If Fevola ever wants to be captain maybe he should take note of the way Lloyd goes about it and dish off a few goals every week as well

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Its now starting to get quiet amusing at how many goals this bloke is kicking with a soft handball over the top in the goal square or 20 metres out when his man has left him to help out his team mates. Ive probably seen it maybe 6 times this year already. Come on Lloydy pull your finger out and do the hard work yourself mate. Soft puncy goals dont stack up in my mind.

They do stack up on the scoreboard, and that's where it counts.

Lloyd is an Essendon champion, he will go down in Essendon's history books as a legend of the game, but for everyone else, he will mainly be remembered as a diving cheat

Hey I never said he wasnt a champion, as I respect him very highly. I just wish he could work for his own goals sometimes this year.

In a way i agree, His contested marking tand leading this year has been well down for him.

On the other hand, he has many goal assists this year, so iin that sense he has done better.

Lloydy has already represented his country with distinction in diving, after yesterdays performance, he could be Australia's next Jai Taurima and win a medal in the long jump. His thrusts and leaps forward anywhere with there is a contest or umpire nearby are amazing

gold

Bruce McAvaney said a few years back that in 2000 Lloyd got 42% of his goals in the last 1/4.

As Essendon won all but 2 games by more than about 6 goals, the inference was that Lloyd helped himself to plenty when it was all over.

I don't know about the Melbourne game but Lloyd didn't kick a goal in the last 1/4 v Dogs, I know he missed the sealer from right in front

Sounds more like a stat the Robbie Walls would make up.

 

[clogwearer]

Lucky for Lloyd he landed at Essendon. Sounds like he'd be eaten alive by his own supporters at any other club.

None of you guys would be happy seeing him play for your team?

 

[The Kipster]

Lloydy reminds me of those old war movies when they are surfaced in a sub and a torpedo is coming there way..."Dive dive dive", I wonder if anyone calls this out in the forward line for him or it is a natural thing for him?

Strange person who slags a guy (Personally I hate the diving ****#r) for kicking goals!!!!! Its similar to you blokes who probably dont play, refering to some one who runs to receive or sits of the off the contest a sea gull.

Look at it this way: If Lloyd was running along with his teamate where would Lloyds man be? He would be right there ready to tackle Lloyds team mate. I am President of a big Ammos club and The hardest thing our coaches find to teach is to stop guys getting sucked into the contest, not letting your man take you to the contest and not taking your man to the contest.
Go back to half time of the Eagles Collingwood game and Voss during his half time technical talk said exactly this. He said the reason the WEagles are so good around the contest is that they dont get sucked in.

So clown shoes Marc Shmurf, who probably doesnt play any higher than D7is probably the player who gets sucked in and his player sits of and gets the hand ball recived over the topf or an uncontested no pressure possesion.

 

[Blue Dawn]

Couldn't give a stuff if he 'cherry picks', what gives me the absolute s***s about Lloyd is his habitual diving! It's gotten progressively worse over the years to the point of being pathetic. Will it leave a distinct stain on an otherwise stellar career? You bet it will.

 

[Chewy]

I daydream about Chewy's sexual organs.

I think you need to find something else to think about.

How about another singalong?

See the Bomber dive down! Down!
To con the umps for a free
Of all the boys who play this grand old game
There's none like Lloydy to wallow in shame!
See the Bomber dive down! Down!
He's falling down to the ground,
His fans, they all protest
But there's no contest
As the Bomber dives down.

[MrAaron]

Why is it that Hawks supporters always complain about umpires and Essendon?

Still bitter about 2001 are we?

boo hoo

what were your thoughts on Brown acting like a little bitch?

only 4 behind your "superstar" can't wait until he actually plays FF instead of the wing

 

[KnockOut]

only 4 behind your "superstar" can't wait until he actually plays FF instead of the wing

And 14 Infront on the 'soft goals' tally. Wait till Fevola finds some form, hasn't had a good game this season he'd be close to 50 in form. Yes you should be scared It's only a matter of time.
