Title: Sam Lloyd content to remain a Tiger if no opportunities arise elsewhere (Fox)
Post by: one-eyed on October 12, 2017, 07:10:47 PM
Teammate Sam Lloyd is another Tiger who may find a new home next week, although he still has one year left to run on his current contract.

Lloyd, 27, managed eight senior games this year and foxfooty.com.au understands he is keen for more game time at another club in 2018, although he has not received the same level of interest as Miles has attracted.

Lloyd, who is holidaying in the USA with his partner, has no ill feelings towards Richmond but is nevertheless keen to re-establish himself as an AFL player elsewhere if the opportunity arises.

If not, it’s believed he has told teammates he is content to remain a Tiger and fight for his spot in 2018.

Like Miles, could well be used as a sweetener if we go for a big player, salary cap permitting...

Sam Lloyd is likely to fulfil is contract for 2018 at Richmond, according to the Herald Sun.

Lloyd was considered best-on-ground in the VFL Grand Final but couldn't find his way into the team that won the AFL premiership.

It's interesting that no other club has seriously considered him given his form both at AFL and VFL level. I'm more than happy to have him as insurance and depth in the VFL. If he can force his way into the team based on his defensive game then he'd of earned it.
