Over to you Legs Akimbo. Surely Lloyd's diving antics and zealous over-protection by the umps warrants Lloyd earning the title this week.

Re: Hack of the Week: Matthew Lloyd
When are the stupid umpires going to wake up to the fact that Lloyd in a marking contest leans forward so that when any contact is made, even a breath of air on his back, he falls forward like a sack of potatoes looking like he has been pushed.Originally posted by cruiser

He has been doing it for years now...WAKE UP UMPIRES!!Swannies for life! -
But Leo played dumb footy, didn't read the ball out of the centre, was caught dreaming, and held on. Rooster one week feather duster the next Leo.
Remains to be seen if he hangs on to the hero tag or gets on with playing decent footy. Hope Roosey grabs him by the ears and shakes his brain into shape.Comment

There was not much hope in the fisrt qtr for anyone on Lloyd, such was the ease with which the ball came out of the midfield.Comment

Actually, I think title of Hack of the Week goes to bloody Leo for not understanding that so much as existing was going to lead to a Lloyd free in that rampaging first quarter. I cannot blame Lloyd for being a showpony and a cheat, when that is the rational thing to do. Maybe Lloyd fellating the umpire before the game was a little bit too much, but no excuses to Leo, who obviously needs to consider his own strategies in that regards.Originally posted by ROK Lobster

Of the 18 free kicks paid to Lloyd, at least four were a direct result of Leo Barry having a first name with only three letters. Shame Leo shame.

Not sure the outcome would have been any different had Vogels, Richards or even Andrew Dunkley been on Lloyd during the first quarter.
At least Leo knows he is a good footballer and will get over it.Comment

I heard this morning that Brereton thought that Barry should have stayed on him all game. Malloy also didn't think he should be changed immediately.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Times like that, not much you can do as a defender. When the supply dried up, Lloyd was no-where to be seen, until the very end of the game when he was lairising and popping up for guest appearances at fullback to please his fans.
177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

Poor old Leo looked like he was scared to touch him by the end of the qr - who could blame him? However, as others have noted, the ease with which they were taking it out of the centre made the end result inevitable - it just happened to be whole lot easier when Lloyd knows he simply has to fall over to get the free kick he so richly deserves.
The funny thing is that when we play the Bombers the double standards with the treatment of BBBH are comical. Ain't gonna change anytime soon tho so no use getting suicidal about it.Comment

Also courtesy to a stack of dodgy frees mind you. Every time our player got creamed and sat on, the umps found a free for Essendon.Originally posted by ROK Lobster

Getting tripped and then shoved into the ground = free against you
Smacked in the head = free against you
Tackled without it, then had the ball pushed under you as they pile on = free against you
I will focus on how well we fought back, sans the need for ridiculous frees to do so. We won the game by 14pts from qtr time onwards, and thats plenty to get the confidence up for the est of the season.Our Greatest Moment:

Perhaps. Our pressure increased, but the dodgy frees didn't stop after 1/4 time. The Bummers received plenty of centre-square infringements. So they still got plenty of free-passes to load up and bomb it long to Lloyd. That's one reason I was really impressed with Richards' job on Lloyd.Originally posted by liz

How do you know the centre square infringements were dodgy? Probably just indisciplined play. Anyway, I only recall two and they were one each.Originally posted by Red
