40 minutes of Lloyd?

**Lucky Knickers** · 30th March 2010, 07:06 PM

All I can say is thank god I don't support Freo and I'm not going to be subjected to this on the weekend.

Although I am happy that

He will then take part in the unveiling of the "Lloyd end", which will replace the Coventry end for every Bombers home game at the ground in 2010.

. If they'd have given him the Lockett end I might have had to riot (ineffectually).

What LK said yeh!

The sheer freakin' arrogance of Essendon. I hope the Freo supporters throw wads of dirt in the air and headbutt their Essendon neighbours.

Lloyd replacing a legend? What is the place coming to?

Everyone there who isnt a Bombers supporter should dive again and again during the entire painful 40 minutes.

Knowing those Dockerland fans I wouldn't put it past them turning up in swimming caps and goggles!
What an awesome idea for our next STK game!

I just had to pop over to Dockerland. They are one bunch of very funny people.
Check out this thread and the alternate tribute to Jeff Farmer!

that is hilarious, god love the Freo supporter The Farmer "tribute" would be far more entertaining thats for sure. - honestly 40 mintues of Lloyd - Jesus!!! (oh god I just worked it out

- they are playing it over Easter

- does this mean that Lloyd might do a "Jesus" and rise from the dead and make a comeback?

Lord please NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

After the unveiling Lloyd will kick a ceremonial 300th goal with a lucky fan standing the mark.

Wouldn't it just be too perfect if he missed?

Coventry kicked 1299 goals at 4.25. Lockett kicked 1360 at 4.84. Lloyd kicked 927 at 3.43. The Machine and Plugger are in a seperate league to The Diver. I don't care that Essendon fans will bleat "he didn't play Full Forward at the end of his career" because that's irrelevant. Gary Ablett Jnr would be a fantastic Forward Pocket like his father, that doesn't mean you get to venerate him as a Full Forward of the century. You play were you play and history decides the rest.

Lloyd, put simply, isn't in the same league as Coventry and Lockett. I wish Essendon fans would stop pretending he was and return to thinking about Coleman - who was.

I actually have to watch a DVD on Trade Commodity Clauses as part of my studies - and if I had to chose between that and a 40 minute tribute to Lloyd - warm the set and cool the tinnies - Trade Commodities wins handes down!!! (god I really do have to get out more!)

Be better if an umpire actually did his job and called play on because he took too long as usual. I feel for any Freo fan that has to sit through this rubbish.

The "lucky fan" will probably give away 50...
