40 minutes of Lloyd?

Crash helmets for the next St Kilda game.

It surprises me that Essendon would place Lloyd above John Coleman.
In Coleman's 6 year career from 49 to 54 he kicked more than 10 goals in a game 12 times. He kicked over 7 in a game 30 times in that period.
Lloyd, on the other hand,managed more than 10 just 3 times, and more than 7 only 24 times...yet he played 6 more years than the famous number 10!
Oh, and Coleman played in 18 game home and home seasons, not 22.
The argument over whether Lloyd should replace Coventry is just silly..he's not even in these guys' postcode!

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.

They probably will put him at the top of the Square and directly in front.

It's happened before.

Hope the final qtr goals that smashed Essendon were all kicked to the princesses end...

Well done Freo. After eight consecutive losses, their first win ever at Ethihad over the Bombers. A day for breaking hoodoos.

[Trickster]

I'm in. Especially as it will be in the finals - right?!

I'm in-I will also redeclare my vendetta against Nick 'the thick' Riewoldt

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!

They are brilliant. I remember their hysterical barracking for us prior to the 06 grand final, even after we knocked em out the week before. I wish I could find that link
