Re: Knights: There is a playing role for Lloyd in 2010

Knights wants Lloyd to play on in 2010



“The coach told Lloyd he wants him to play on next year," Hamilton said.

Most likely true, But was there a BUT in the conversation somewhere???????Mmmmm that's the question.

I agree but it could also be more positive than negative.

Ball is in Lloyds court

Knights has said to him that its lloyd option now to play on or retire and he will support him in either way.

What are your guys opinion on what he should do?

 

[dapto]

This wouldn't even be thread worthy if Knights had of been just a wee more sanguine.

It should have been an in house issue and despite the fairness of Knights call earlier this year re Lucas and Lloyd deciding their own futures, he should have, could have and didn't pull on his management strides to cease this stupid debate and media wrangle over Lloyd.

Simply put Knights let the pressure build on Lloyd when he should have said he was required at EFC. Regardless of what he felt. That would have really given ML the time knights said he was wanting to give him.

Knights has hung ML out to dry. And it has naught to with ML's merit next year or not in the best 22. Just poor media handling form Knights.

And Matty Lloyd is in our best 8 next year not just our best 22.

Matttttttty K is the one who should be under the thread light here not Matty L.

Winning a final next year with him in the side would be poetic justice IMO.

That way he'll feel as if he's done his job as a captain to lead us to one definite step on the victory ladder and leave with a sound mind. A proper send off would be the right way to go. I'm sure if he knew 2010 was going to be his last year, he'd take a advantage of the pre-season and show some hard earned magic that'll stay with the boys forever.

He's produced some memorable and inspiration moments for the youngsters. And with Gumby coming in, he'll set an example.

Efforts like these cement his position in the side no matter how old he is...

Whatever happens, well played essendon

Re: Lloyd will make choice within week

I think if he wanted to play on he would have told them by now, I hope he does play on, but if he doesn't make him forward coach as Jay couldn't learn off anyone better.

 

[footycool]

Re: Lloyd will make choice within week

its good cause he gets to make his own choice,very little percentage of players get to do this

 

[Call Me Cake]

those videos date back to rounds 3 and 7 this year.

Ehem, it was Round 13.

Thanks for proving my point.

Didnt we already have this discussion? 2 good games does not make a good season. Dont forget that Lucas played a couple of good games this year too!!

 

[Call Me Cake]

Didnt we already have this discussion? 2 good games does not make a good season.

The main point of my original post was to give my point of view on his status in the team. My opinion of why I would like to see him play. As I see him as inspirational, not just a force on the field in a "couple games or so". He's the leader, as we do the charging.

The videos I put up were only subtle references to what I mean, as I was watching them at the time of creating the post. Gumby isn't ready to make such an impact, thus he needs to be guided by a champ.

Do you honestly think I would post every single game I could find, despite many of them being unavailable? - I posted 2 because I didn't want to overdo it. It has nothing to do with whether or not it's "enough" to warrant his position.

 

[bacon buster]

i think the point is, he needs to play second, or even third fiddle if he plays on next year, and he may not want to do that.

that's the main issue.

i'd rather throw our young kids in the deep end somewhat, and see what they are made of. buddy and roughead didn't have anyone to help them, and they turned out ok.

How the hell is this still going on. Get on with it Lloydy FFS.

 

[abers47]

Heard Matt was on the radio today. Did anyone hear it? What did he say?

 

[Fraz]

Heard Matt was on the radio today. Did anyone hear it? What did he say?

He did speak to the media today but didn't give too much away.

Said that he now has a bit of time to think it over and there will most likely be an announcement within the next week.

Also said that the Collingwood rumour was just that, a rumour, and his manager and him have only been in talks with Essendon.

 

[abers47]

Thanks for that!

 

[Wildrig]

Re: Collingwood could offer Matthew Lloyd AFL deal

I'd be physically ill if he plays for another club.

A club legend who is being absolutely shafted. Play him ff next season and he'll kick 50 goals no problem.

Absolutely agree - cant shaft him, play him out of the goalsquare and there only, stuff this wing and HF crap - relieve him of the captaincy, out of the goalsquare, make Neagle run a bit over preseason and see how things pan out.

Absolutely ridiculous people are saying theyd be happy if he left. Champion of the club, play him where he is best - when Hille is back Paddy can join him in the forward 50, throw Hurley in there if needed and play Neagle at CHF.

Neagle is the key - get the big fella running cos geez he has good hands...

Good post Dapto.

Knights when asked by Walls twice do you want Lloyd to play on came up with the bull crap weak as piss, " whatever he decides we will support him". Well Mr Knights Matthew Lloyd is a gun, is only 31 yo, captain of the club, club all time leading goal kicker and could arguably be in our top 10 to 15 of all time. How about you pull your head in and give a proper answer like yes we would love him to play on or no we don't (which would be ridiculous). Weak as piss like you were as a player. Funny how that trait carries over.

What about when hutchy caught up with him after their little meeting. He says ' THE CLUB has asked matthew to play on'. Can't seem to bring himself to say that he wants him to play, he realy doesnt want him to play i don't think..

Agree.

Piss poor. You're the coach of the side. Show some balls and take some ownership of what's going on.

Pathetic.

 

[Ed Deline]

Here, here. Knights is a rude wigged goose.

For goodness sake play the guy out of the goal square and get some onballers who can hit him lace out!

I'd support him going to the bulldogs, imagine that midfield hitting on the lead, he'd bag 70 easy.

 

[rusman]

I just rekon knights like everyone else in the world hates Hutchy and didnt want to give him a story to make any $ from. However Hutchy still made a story out of it
