Richardson vs Lloyd

This was posted on another sight, with results of what I would call a bit alarming.

But who do you rate higher, not just now, but over their whole career.

I chose Richo, because if they banned players from diving in a match that would put Lloyd out of business

They are the 2 best forwards in the AFL over their careers.

Lloyd top 10 goalkickers of all time.

Richo needs about 100 goals to finish his career as one of the top 10 goal kickers of all time.

Both are champions.

Lloyd is the better player by a comfortable margin. He is a league leader for kicking accuracy, and fitted well into a premiership team. Richo will never achieve this, because although he is a tremendously hard worker and loves his club, every time he sprays the ball into the stands it saps the Tigers resolve and kills their momentum.

Richo, for obvious reasons.

Lloyd has him covered.

Hmmm he has had 181 frees in his career so even if he dived for all of them and kicked goals with those shots he would have still had over 600 "legitamate" goals to his name.

Lloyd easily

I think if Richardson had the Bombers midfield delivering to him over the years and Lloyd had the Richmond one then this result would be considerably different.

For pure talent Matthew Richardson shits all over Matthew Louganis.

Richo is a better mark, but Lloyd craps on Richo for accuracy. So in this factor i'd rather a forward who can kick goals than mark and spray from the goal square.

I do agree that if Richo had better delivery over his career he'd be highly rated compared to what he is now.

And what talent is this? Hitting the post from the goal square or turning on team mates when he doesnt get the ball spoon fed to him?

Richo on his day is nearly unstopable. These days are extremly rare.
Lloyd has the consistancy and does the most important things well for a key forward, Kicks Accuratly.
Also a much better leader, Richo's on field displays when things aren't going his way are Disgraceful.

Lloyd by a Mile.

 

[andypie]

lloyd.
richo's best is better than lloyds, but lloyd is more consistent. on a bad day lloyd will get 2 -3 goals, on a bad day richo will get 1 goal 6 and 3 out on the full.

Lloyd is a better kick no doubt.

Richo is mobile, i think hes quicker, and theres no doubting hes a very good mark.

Richo's best is at Centre Half Forward, Lloydy is easily best at Full Forward. So they would play a slightly altered role if we are comparing their best.

 

[Dj Chriss]

How many other CHF have kicked over 700 goals? als how many games has Richo played in? around 250? still a 3 and a bit goal average, and with a better midfield he would've had near 1000 i rekon, absolute star

i agree with you but i chose lloyd, far more accurate

 

[Kerrby]

I had to go Llyod, because Richo kicks them on the full, right in front .
