Lloyd's media conference on now. He's officially announced his retirement.

No idea how he never kicked well over 100 goals in a season given the dominance of Essendon 1999-2001 and how he operated out of the goal square at that time. Just 120 or so more than Richo over the course. Won't be too many more FFs like him the way the game is going.

answer to that is Essendon never focused on Lloyd as the the only player in the forward line & had Hird, Lucus, & many others to kick the goals.

Lloyd kicked over 100 goals in 2000-1 and was regularly around the 90 mark when the Bombers made the finals pre-2004. As Essendon fell away so did the number of goals he kicked per season. One of the best kicks for goals in his prime but spoiled himself by diving for frees which the umps always fell for until his reputation for doing so eventually caught up with him. I can still remember him in a game in early 2000 just deliberately falling to ground between Gas and Chubba with no one touching him and he was paid the free  ::).

Lloyd obviously didn't agree with Knighter on his role and has quit. He wanted to play FF as captain and Knighter's most likely told him Watson will be captain and Lloyd would have to play across HF next year with Neagle and Gumbleton in the main KPP roles.

The Hawks may be looking for a ruckman as SEN news said Robert Campbell may retire due to injury (knee I think they said). He's been told if he keeps playing footy it could seriously affect his post-footy life.

Malthouse mentioned at Collingwood's B&F that Carlton's Nick Stevens will retire due to his neck injury....


"I don't like saying this about a young kid who will probably finish his career in the next week or so when he announces he's got a crook neck," Malthouse said in an obvious reference to Stevens.

"We will stand by our decisions, not other people's decisions to bring people into the football club. We were harassed, ridiculed and told we got it wrong when we didn't get Nick Stevens.

"He played one finals match and the bloke we were supposed to give up (Alan Didak) is an All-Australian, best and fairest here . . . I feel sorry for Nick that he can't play with his neck.

"But we know Alan has got many many more years in front of him."

Wheelchair threat puts Nick Stevens into retirement (Herald-Sun)

Wheelchair threat to Carlton star Nick Stevens
Tony Sheahan From: Sunday Herald Sun October 11, 2009

NICK Stevens says he is coming to grips with never playing football again.

The Carlton star, 29, has spoken for the first time about the recent recurrence of his neck injury, that he says could make him a quadriplegic.

"If I give it (football) away now and rest up, I'll be fine for later in life, but if I don't do that I'm a big chance to end up in a wheelchair," Stevens said.
