Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Sam Lloyd

That last kick for goal was a thing of beauty.

Another big win for Sam Power.

15 Games

25 Goals (1.7 per game, club leading)
18 Behinds
8 Goal Assists

Ranked 15th for total goals kicked in the entire comp
Ranked 13th for total marks inside 50 in the entire comp



Traded for pick 64

With Dickson a chance to retire at the end of this season - Lloyd needs to be held onto for the rest of his career, complete gun and much needed by our side up forward.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Sam Lloyd

Always looks dangerous and a chance to do something. Can outmark taller opponents in a Gia-like manner. Kicks straight ( mostly ). Valued.

His been a valuable money ball pick up . Could not get a game at tigers due to their depth in small forwards .
Can you believe he was behind : castgana , Butler , ross , Higgins off TOP of my head

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Sam Lloyd

Sam Lloyd is one of the best bargain buys of the year

There was little fanfare when Richmond traded forward Sam Lloyd to the Western Bulldogs last year for pick 64. Lloyd had played 15 games over the previous two seasons, but been overtaken in the Tigers' forward half. The Dogs saw an opportunity to land an opportunist. Pound-for-pound, Lloyd has been one of the better value pick-ups of the season. He was excellent again on Saturday night for the Bulldogs, when he booted three important goals in their come-from-behind win over Geelong at Marvel Stadium. It took Lloyd's season tally to 25 majors, and he's leading the club's goalkicking board. The 29-year-old is in target of eclipsing his career-high goal tally, when he kicked 35 majors in 2016, and has helped provide some polish to the Dogs' front half. - Callum Twomey

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Sam Lloyd

Mate of mine who is a Richmond supporter said to me when we got him, how he can be a bit of a last quarter specialist - which is certainly ringing true.
His capacity to run out games and kick a goal or two late has been handy and impressive.
Great pick up - for a pick we wouldn't have used anyway.

We were so lucky actually - he’d be in thier best 22 this year for sure.

I wonder if he ever learnt to handball 😁

Not that I mind 87% of the time - he clearly has goal instinct and wants to have a crack every time. Need players that have a shot every chance in a team that handballs in there so much.

He obviousl;y learned from Kevin Bartlett at Richmond. Sam accepts handballs, he doesn't give them.

Why would he? Have you seen our kicking for goal...

Yup. Sure have...

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Sam Lloyd

I'm just gonna say that I was all in favour of us picking up Lloyd especially for how little we actually paid for him. Wasn't so much for Duryea but Doc has been very handy when he's played so happy to be wrong about him.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Sam Lloyd

A bit of a quirk in Lloyd's stats, this is the now 15th time he's kicked 3 goals in an AFEL game. Having never kicked four. Surely it's just a matter of time before he gets to four or more.
