Matthew Lloyd 2000

Another thing i noticed after watching the BomberBlitz2000 DVD, is that He did Did Dive for a Lot of Free Kicks When he marked. Looking back it is so obvious lol

agree

if he didn't dive so much & kicked straight this year (2007) as well as in 2000 he would have kicked more goals & gotten more frees

If he did as above in 2000 - could have got close to 150 goals - I think he kicked 109 goals 60 or 70 odd behinds from memory

guys he has done it it his whole carrer and i dont think he does it to get free kicks either, look propelly he does it to try and get away from his openent, he lunges forward, i wouldnt call it diving

Na you can tell, The facial Expressions followed by the look to the umpire. Now dont get me wrong Im a Huge Lloydy fan, But i gotta call it as i see it, and its something he has definatly improved on. Go back to a game from 99/00 and have a good look at his marking attempts, you will know what i mean lol

I know exactly what you mean, It shits me to tears when he dives the guy is full of talent he doesn't need to do it. And the worst part about it is he doesn't have a second effort because he's always on the ground.

p.s can we somehow hide this thread from outsiders

whether you call it diving or something else I reckon most times he was accentuating the free kick rather than faking it. I remember in afl and basketball we were taught that when you feel that hand in the back to fall or lean forward a little. Lloydy probably just did not do it as subtly as others have.
