Rate a Tiger's year - Sam Lloyd?

[Hard Roar Tiger]

6. Just a player, some like G Freeborn win you flags but most play 80-120 games with the odd highlight to reflect upon.
Pleased for him individually but I believe as a club this type of recruiting of rookies is flawed.

lol

Actually, if I overlay your theory of drafting probability then I'd say very few ever get to 50 let alone 80 games which is a testament to his application

Agree with comment by BT one of the few shining lights this year. Definitely improved on last year. Is a good kick for goal and is a proven goal kicker including under pressure. Developing into a clever small forward. Hope his improvement continues into next season.

Decent year but would look to trade him while his perceived value is high.  Doesn't have the speed and intensity to take his game to another level.  Top 25 pick and I would trade.

Absolutely correct. Wont get any better or more valuable. Doesn't get enough of the ball but is a classy finisher. He has been the perfect moneyball player. Could get a low second rounder or high third for him right now.

rubbish guys, Jeff garlett in his prime and a proven 40+ goalkicker multiple times went for picks 60 and 70. We arent getting a 2nd or 3rd rounder for lloyd.

[Stalin]

You easy get a third rounder for Lloyd.

Garlett > Lloyd, precedent set, hed go for a 4th rounder

In ability yes. However, he had other "issues" that devalued him significantly.

[Penelope]

I love the notion of swapping a player who just kicked 35 goals and was clearly our second best forward for a pick that will most likely be a bust.

sound logic indeed.....

Dont let the facts stand in the way of a good story hey Tony? Lloyd's year was clearly better than Garletts:http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?playerStatus1=A&tid1=12&playerStatus2=A&tid2=15&type=A&pid1=3189&pid2=3976&fid1=S&fid2=S

aren't you ignoring facts yourself?

Are you for real or taking the pee?

In his career to date garlett has kicked
48
43
40
39
and twice in subpar years kicked 29

and youre going to sit there with a straight face and say lloyd would fetch more than him?

 ridiculous isnt it?

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

Surprised me this year. Showed he's got more talent than I expected. His game against Adel this year especially highlights this.

I have him a 6 because I felt he went missing at times but he's got good forward qualities. Knows where the sticks are and knows how to find good position.

Still, if we're going to be a better team he won't be getting a regular start.

Good work Sam!

Or we can trade hunt morris elton or batchelor for a second rounder.  Easy.
