What's this nonsense about Lloyd leaving?

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl/story/0,26576,26046647-19742,00.html

EXCLUSIVE: MATTHEW Lloyd will this week demand Essendon coach Matthew Knights tell him if he is wanted in 2010. If the answer is no, Collingwood, one of Essendon's greatest rivals, will likely offer him a lifeline to continue playing.

Sounds like some pretty tenuous bullshit, doesn't it?

One thing I don't miss about Melbourne is the Herald-Sun.

Is there even a skerrick of a chance that Lloyd will be playing elsewhere in 2010?
 
Re: Collingwood could offer Matthew Lloyd AFL deal

Why does everyone think that Lloyd wouldn' t consider going to anothoer club if Knights tells him he doesn't want him? He is a footballer who wants to play football.

I dont want him to go but just saying
 
Re: Collingwood could offer Matthew Lloyd AFL deal

If Lloyd is unhappy with the role he plays at Essendon, then go. Club is by far bigger than the player.

I love ya Lloydy, but don't dare hold this club to ransom, you were given an opportunity to become the Matthew Lloyd that you are because of this club, the club does not owe you anything, you owe the club.

You have been a magnificent player for this great club of ours, don't end it on a sour note. play your role for the future, or retire. Dont do yourself an injustice of playing for the scum at the lexus centre.

Do your bit for the future, and when success happens down the track, sit in your lounge chair and take pleasure in knowing that you contributed to thier development through selflesness.....

Do the right thing Lloydy.

Re: Collingwood could offer Matthew Lloyd AFL deal

Absolute filth. Dont take any notice of this trash guys.

If the club tells him that he isnt wanted to play he is wanted as a specialst forward coach at EFC. Dont worry about it, he wont leave us.
 
Re: What's this nonsense about Lloyd leaving?

True Bullocks perpetuated by people that want to bring down our club.

If he doesn't play with us next year, he will be a specialist forward coach at EFC.
 
Re: Collingwood could offer Matthew Lloyd AFL deal

Who did who a favour?? Matthew Lloyd doesn't owe our club anything... Essendon have got more then they could ever hope for out of him. He is a champion.

This arogant attitude that he has to stay another year in a compromised role or retire is ridiculous. Would any of you do it in your occupations?? He has already put up with it the last season or so which has damaged his reputation. He may be past his best but he is still a lot better then he is given credit for due to the position he has been forced to play for "THE TEAM".

Have a look at yourselves anyone that is that hipocritical they would begrudge a man trying to get the most out of his last years in the game. He would be a focal point in almost any other forward line but ours next year. Why wouldn't he consider it. I certainly wouldn't blame him.
 
Re: Collingwood could offer Matthew Lloyd AFL deal

Why do all you essendon supporters think he will give it away rather than play for another team? I actually think it'll be win-win. the dons aren't going to win a flag in the next two years, collingwood might. It will also give guys like Neagle, Hurley, Gumbelton the chance to develop in key roles. I'm not sure Llyody plays great footy away from full forward, and it seems knighta isn't too keen to play him there 100%. I'd go if i were Llyody. It will break hearts, but everyone will end up a winner imo.

Exactly, no way would someone like Matthew Lloyd, a player who will be remembered, want to tarnish his career by doing something like that.

Someone like Mark Johnson or Kepler Bradley, (MJ might have been a great servant but let's face it he won't be remembered in history) would move on for a bit more money and a chance to play for a bit longer, but I would be shocked if Lloyd would do it.

Also, I would be suprised if we could even get a second round pick for him. Who would trade a potential 10-15 year player for a guy who has had poor form this year, is suspended for the start of next year, and has one-two years left max, not accounting for injuries.

Alright, you've convinced me. I'll do it.

Re: Collingwood could offer Matthew Lloyd AFL deal

as much as I hate to even consider it, if he wanted to leave, and you could actually get something worthwhile for him, you'd have to have it on the table as an option.

Either that, or you get one more year out of a club champion, then nothing.

I'm not saying I'd like him to leave by any stretch; but if it gave him what he wanted, and gave us something in return (some sort of reasonable pick - it obviously wouldn't be too high), then we'd also have the chance to start building the forward line in a post Lloyd/Lucas landscape...

So Matthew Lloyd is only Matthew Lloyd because we swindled him out of Fremantle??? I agree if he stayed at Freo then he probably wouldn't have gotten what he has out of his career. But to say his achievements could only have been due to him coming to Essendon is absurd. Great players are great players, we are the ones that owe him not vice versa. That ignorant comment makes me mad.

You will not get anything higher then pick 40 for Matthew Llyod i wouldn't think....
 
Re: Collingwood could offer Matthew Lloyd AFL deal

I honestly hope Lloyd remains a one-club player and Essendon can come to an agreement with him.

He is a club and AFL champion, one of the greatest goal kickers of all time and more importantly the club captain.

I would definitely be making enquiries into his availability because he easily has 2 possibly 3 good seasons left in him at FF. His experience to the young guys around him is invaluable.
