Sam Lloyd joins the Bulldogs for pick 64 [merged]

[TFL]

All this cleaning out gives opportunities to the next crop coming through, no issue with it.

They have no value.

Naish, Balta, CJ, Baker, Bolton, Markov

Combined with the new kids we bring in this year and still most likely have Moore and Menadue there pushing their luck too

Exactly. We are replacing our emergencies who wernt up for it at afl level with our younger crop who have it all ahead of them.

Hmm. I think we got ripped off though. We took Lloyd at 60odd. We developed him into a best 22 standard. They poach him in his prime. And we get more or less the same pick back for our work.

He got offered 2 year deal I believe we would have offered the same maybe less coin tho ,but he went cause of lack of opportunities.

[TFL]

You couldn't honestly say that you see Mile, C Ellis and or Lloyd in our best 22 in 2 years time if they stayed.

The young kids all have the potential to be, im a little disappointed we are going to lose Stengle but its just a consequence of having a strong list and good spotting from our scouts.

[Gracie]

Lloyd will be 29 at start of next season.

Not sure we were going to do any better.

Thanks for your service Sam and especially the after siren win v Swans a couple of years back. Good luck with the Bulldogs.

Time for us to renew the reserves.

Wacko pick 64 really going to be hitting the draft hard.....

...wouldn't say we've been bent over...sounds more like we were on our back with our legs in the air.....

Richmond’s General Manager – Football, Neil Balme, said Lloyd was a well-liked player at the Club.

“Sam came to Richmond as a 23-year-old and quickly became a popular person amongst the players, coaches and staff,” Balme said.

“He had limited opportunities at AFL-level this year and we respect his decision to seek a trade.

“We wish him all the best in his future at the Western Bulldogs.”

Lloyd has apparently got a two-year contract at the Dogs. He wouldn't have got that if he had stayed with us.

Its the fact he is a better player now than when he joined us. He might not crack best 22 in our team but he would in at least 8 others. I'm not saying he is worth a first round pick but at the very least a 3rd round pick.

pick 64 is not far from a late 3rd rounder when you add compensation picks in.

He’s also 5 years older and will be 29 before the start of next season.
