    Some people have short memories, Lloyd has taken cheap shots all of his career. He is not bright enough to not get caught though, and has been suspended on more than one occasion because of it.

    IMO he is a thug and I hope this spells the end of his career.

      Yep, from interviews I've heard, you'd be better off talking to a house brick. He was a great ff, few years ago, and any ff has to have some mongrel in him. But I never liked him because he did take a lot of dives, and appeared to be the umpires pet, as compared to the treatment of BBH

        The diving was bad, but his moniker "velvet sledgehammer" came from the number of times he headbutted his oppenents. I just don't think that his past performance, in this instance, counts for much.

            @@@@ing hell it really wasn't that bad. For someone who is regarded as a tough player, Campbell Brown is really crying over spilt milk here.

              IIRC it was due to the times he was suspended for hitting opponents with the forearm, particularly when they were over the boundary line.

                I don't think the hit was any worse than Buddy's on Cousins. Sewell missed the rest of the game but so did Cousins. Brown's comment were silly: being made in the heat of the moment.

                  Lloyd will only get one week if he pleads guilty. Not malicious. He's not exactly out of underbelly.

                    I actually thought it was because he thinks he's the 'hardman' whereas he is actually a complete nonce.

                    Hope he gets a long holiday. Only collected the head so he should be out for 4+ weeks.

Sewell got there first and was collected by Lloyd. No doubt he will get suspended but Lloyd didn't line him up to bump him and there was a fair amount of "accident" about the contest.
                        Agree entirely. Very little in it. I don't like Lloyd much either but I can't work out what all the commotion is about. Everyone's gone soft.

                          Yes, good arguments in there, although RC's problem is that he's such an ardent Bomber supporter that there will be undoubted accusations of bias in his article.

                            Yep not a bad write up and can't fault anything he has to say.
                            It seems that Hawks are suffering WLF - imagine throwing Hall in the mix. He may end up being the voice of reason.
