    I'll caveat this by saying he (Lloyd) is not one of my favourites.

    I'd be happy to let Lloyd go this year, as we can cover him.

    My belief is that he is over rated and only looks good because of the cheap possessions he racks up. Teams have started working him out by making him more accountable, getting a contested ball is not his game style.

    Isn't he on reasonable money $500plus? Freeing that up would help us retain a couple players or pick up a KPD.

    Is this the same Lloyd that won our B&F last year?

    Guess coaches must just look at stats and nothing else...

    I'd trade Hayward. Swans lose more games with him on the side than without. Offensive links just breaks down when he gets involved and his defence is woeful. In saying that, he made a good highlight reel in last week's game and happy to have egg on my face if he breaks out this year.

    That's the one. Last year was an anomaly.

    Boiled ofc. I'd throw in Florent as trade bait too. They both had enough time to develop and they haven't shown me they'll be missed if left off the roster.

    I remember reading an article on how he had a family friend that use to be in the army that used to wake him up at all hours , basically come into their house and wake him up and trained him within a inch of his life such was his desperation to give himself every chance of making the AFL .
    Since reading that some years ago he’s been one of my all time favourites

    Disgraceful comment. How can a TWO TIME Bob Skilton Medalist be an "anomaly" ? Won it in 2018 too - a year we made FINALS . Dismiss him if you choose but see how we would do without him. You dont notice the organizing he does on field.

    I think Sprite was being sarcastic.

    Sprite said that would trade Lloyd, that he is over rated, that hes not one of their favourites and now that his best and fairest was an anomaly ! What an insult to a servant of the club who for better or worst has laced up his boots and did his job every week since debuting !
