[Daytripper]

To be honest I wasn't expecting much when I heard he was entering the media. As a player tended to speak in cliches with a fairly monotone voice.

However have been pleasantly surprised with his work on SEN so far. Offers some good insights and isn't afraid to speak his mind or have an opinion that goes against the grain. Has a good sense of humour too.

I thought the same of Buckley as well when he first started. Just shows how constrained footy players are with the media when they are playing.

Would have to agree with all of that. Now that he is at Ten maybe he can take over from Walls

 

[Slattery_20]

Smart and honest. Offers some good stuff.
Face like a ken doll.
Voice about as good.

On the field he was a diving, sniper.
On the radio and TV he's, surprisingly, very good. A 'breath of fresh air' you could say.

 

[Rack Watts]

The voice hurts, but the insight to the modern game via an awesome footy brain is great

 

[Lame User Name]

I wanted him to be bad but he's been bloody good so far.

 

[Hodgepodge]

He's alright on the radio. Sometimes he said something nonsensical like 'Nathan Bock can get 30 possessions a game on you, but he can also hurt you going the other way'. But you know what he's trying to say.

Has fitted in with the rest of the AFL media by having absolutely NFI what the new bump rule is all about.

Apparently he has a few brothers as well. I tuned in to the Morning Glory this morning for about 20 minutes . . . he must've made about five references to one of his brothers.

'My brother Simon, he's at Fremantle . . . '

'My brother Josh, he's in Las Vegas . . .'

Is he trying to get publicity for his brothers or something?

 

[davo ramone]

Going to be on the footy panel on Thursday Night Live on ONE HD with Russell Robertson too.

 

[RECORDS!]

Agreed, he has been fantastic. Pleasantly surprising.

 

[Silvagnis]

Lloyd will have to call it a day as a specials comments man if his brothers aren't there to give him inside info on Fremantle.

Makes Walls sound like Jeff Buckley or Mike Patton.

 

[2Sewell4School]

I have been very impressed with his work so far.

Keep it up you sniper!

 

[Faz 2000]

He didn't come across as the sharpest knife in the draw for most of his career, but I'd agree he's been quite impressive with his insight, honesty and choice of subject matter from what I've heard.

 

[always right]

Has turned out to be a better commentator than he was a footballer. Pleasant surprise.

This takes the cake !

 

[flamethrower]

Has turned out to be a better commentator than he was a footballer. Pleasant surprise.

Does this mean you think he is one of the greatest commentators of all time, because he was a gun full forward.

Thank you Flame !
