It’s actually what makes him interesting as a prospect. He has unusual upside for a 23 year old player because he has never really been professionally trained before.
 
Re: Welcome Sam Lloyd

Late pick in a weak draft - I like this pick and encourage the methodology that thinks outside the square. Happy to wait and see

Yeah, like that thinking - our 2014 season certainly doesn't rest on whether Sam Lloyd makes the grade.
 
Re: Welcome Sam Lloyd

I agree, this guy is think outside the square, smart risk at pick 60-odd.

Looks like Jon Dorotich in his highlight package.

He's a wanker?

:hihi

I should have clarified - just in his footy skills. Although if he gets the opposition supporters thinking he's a wanker, that can't be a bad thing either.
 
Re: Welcome Sam Lloyd

I am going to have to give him a nickname. I have a problem with seeing someone kick a goal or lead and mark and yelling out " Lloydie !!". Feels dirty somehow.

What do you mean "no fitness base"? Of course he has a fitness base and in comparison to most it would be pretty good. The VFL guys train pretty hard these days in the confines of part time professionals. He will need to knuckle down and work hard but if he is prepared to do the work he will be fine. The one area he will be lacking is all the gym based fitness.

Yes, so you would think Gordon will be well ahead Lloyd in fitness terms then ;)

Yeah same, i think I'll just stick to Sammy, that's if he gets a game of course which I think will only happen if injuries happen.

Denny 1sts was a while ago he has played for Mt Eliza 1sts in the MPNFL & then for the Dolphins I the VFL think Bagley & Hibbard have done ok. Pretty sure Milne came out of the VFL also.
 
Re: Welcome Sam Lloyd

How bout Floyd?

for some reason 'pink' or even 'pinky' sounds like your trying to be, subtly, rude ;D
