Re: Welcome Sam Lloyd
Really rate Lloyd, very very smart footballer. Knows where to get too and of course where the goals are.
Traditional footballer not an athlete but his smarts should see him hold his own.
Reminds me a little of Paul Medhurst

When you keep delivering you deny the selectors an excuse to drop you I guess

Re: Welcome Sam Lloyd
13 goals in 9 games.
That means in the other 5 games he's kicked 1 goal. Has to get out this inconsistency from his game and find ways to contribute when he's not hitting the scoreboard.

Re: Welcome Sam Lloyd
Can't remember exactly which games he played in last year, but for half a year we struggled to get the ball out of our back line unless there was already twenty players clogging up our forward line. Not much chance of anyone kicking regular bags during those occasions, let alone a beginner playing small forward.

Re: Welcome Sam Lloyd
How many goals do we think Lloyd can kick?
I think he could kick 35 goals if played the whole season. If he can do that with Jack kicking 60 goals and Griffths 35 that will go a long way towards making sure we kick a winning score that week.
With Morris in the team to create that extra pressure we can afford to play Lloyd.

Re: Welcome Sam Lloyd
Shakira's the rumpy one.
Edit:
Are you suggesting, TJ, that Lloyd is rumpy enough to be called 'Shakira'?
If we'd thought of it at the time it would have been ideal for Bejebus but too late now.
Damn it. It's so crazy it might just work. Shakira it is.

Re: Welcome Sam Lloyd
Not sure who those 5 games were against but did kick his bags last year against Collingwood, Geelong and Port.

Re: Welcome Sam Lloyd
In order:
Rd 5 Brisbane (0 goals)
Rd 6 Hawthorn (0 goals)
Rd 9 Melbourne (1 goal)
Rd 18 West Coast (0 goals)
Rd 19 GWS (0 goals)
The game against Melbourne was interesting. 13 touches, 6 tackles, 2 inside 50. That's a pretty decent return even though he kicked 1 goal. He got dropped after it (or injured) and didn't play again until round 17. If he kicks 3 every second week, and then has games like the Melbourne one in between, he should have a solid spot in the front 6.

Re: Welcome Sam Lloyd
First three of those games we were abysmal, any small forward would've starved. Last two Wet Coke was fairly soggy n would've thought he'd get a few against GWS, was he subbing or on all game?
Plenty of possible reasons why a first year at AFL level runs hot n cold. He's now got the second pre season under the belt n has a far greater understanding of how the team works n the intensity req'd. From the times he's shown a capacity for multiple goals you'd think a thirty to forty, full season is within his reach.

Re: Welcome Sam Lloyd
He may have, but I think the first time he got dropped, he had a good multiple goal game then followed up with a couple where he hardly touched the ball.Ice said:
