Interesting "expert" comments from Matthew Lloyd

[Milan Faletic]

Don't know if anyone heard this but Robert Walls asked Lloyd about the emphasis of tackling from the start of his career to the end of his career. Lloyd correctly stated that the forwards do a lot more tackling now and have to, to hold their spot on the team.

Then he went on to mention that the Dogs have passed the Saints and WILL pass the Saints in this area. His basis, the NAB Cup Final. Big call before Round 1. Maybe he has been smoking the grass he used to throw up in the air before he used to shoot for goal. Anyway hope he swallows his words and that this fires our boys up!

very early to suggest that the dogs can not only equal but beat the saints in pressure and tackles. At least wait till both teams play at least one round of the regular season before you make that call.... hence why I am suprised....

I actually think Richo is the pick of the new ones.....comes across as himself and gets the game naturally....Loyd just wants to agree with TGim desperately which is sad cause Tim Lanes the most irrelevant tw!t in the box.....sad Matthew...but hes always been dumb lets be honest.......what moron would NOT tell his wife before she goes on national TV to make a goose of herself........... "darl.....you cant sing for shyte........"

I heard him differently..
Basically he sees the Dogs as having become as good as the Saints in tackling and pressure , but will pass the Saints as they use the ball better (ie this them gives them the edge in Loyds opinion)...not that they will pass the Saints becuase they tackle better.

Personally I'm very happy with this Dogs hysteria..reckon it will increase our chances no end..and watch Hall implode at some stage

..Lyon and the team would be very happy about the perseption its a lay down messaire before a ball has been kicked in anger in the real season..people so easily forget how long a season it really is

..even the last 3 minutes can kill you

Lloyd actually praticised the dont argue to the face to avoid being tackled.

Seem to remember Nick Riewoldt did not tell Steph before she went on the footy show.

Always used the elbow and forearm for the don't argue.
Much more damaging.

[Legendary]

Lloyd could play football, but he is a goose in the media.

[SainterK]

Interesting and Lloyd in the same sentence?

Nah you're right to use the abbreviation, I'm sure I have quite a few times. It's just that I was reading a television website a bit earlier today so the studio names were still in my recent memory

Yep, would be great to see all that hype and expectaton put to the torch

True....but Stephs made a record at least...not just queen of Matts home karaoke.

Besides isnt steph old news now??

Why do you guys refer to the FOOTSCRAY FOOTBALL CLUB as the Western Bulldogs.

Are you being paid by their media department to use their marketing name.

Try as they may they are Footscray and everything that entails.

[Waltzing St Kilda]

After the NAB Cup Final (on SEN) Lloyd claimed that the Dogs now equalled the Saints on pressure but their skill level was "phenomenally better" and he couldn't see the Saints beating them this year.

To my (partisan) ears it sounded like an inexperienced commentator getting swept up in the hype and letting loose with a thoroughly intemperate comment. Which hopefully comes back to bite him.

Hopefully.
