Jake Lloyd

Player Profile
Jake Lloyd is a ball magnet, an endurance machine, a clean user of the footy and a calming influence on the Sydney Swans’ half-back line. The former rookie-listed Swan averaged 27.22 disposals per match between 2016 and 2019 and won the club’s 2018 Bob Skilton Medal. Lloyd became the quickest Swan in history to reach 100 senior games when he ran out against Hawthorn at the MCG in Round 8, 2018. He was then recognised as one of the best players in the league when he was selected for Victoria in the State of Origin match for bushfire relief in February 2019. Draft history: 2013 Rookie Draft selection (Sydney) No. 15; 2014 AFL Draft rookie elevation (Sydney).

No offence intended, but I think that 'vulnerable' is word used by supporters only... I'm pretty sure the club doesn't take that view. The supporters have bagged him throughout his career as being not much at all, just another B grader, but that just doesn't stack up with his actual games...

He's played 200+ games, been All Australian, won two B&Fs (18 & 20), plays the role he's asked to... and is totally reliable.

100% agree. He was "vulnerable" only in the sense that the team was playing exceptionally, had some great players to return and he wasn't making his typical impact - which made him fair game for people like us. Don't imagine his spot in the team really ever was at risk.
 
Bumping from page 4 of the forum.
Which in a way encapsulates Lloyd's understated unflustered under the radar game style.

Leading possession winner for us today, 14 marks, 4 R50s, 5 I50s, nice goal and game high 888 metres gained (only 1 other player from either side (Warner) had more than 500).

He's not a contested possession winner, but that outlet player who you sense he will tend to make the right choices with ball in hand.
I thought incredibly important for us throughout today. :thumbsu:

I like Lloyd as a player way more than the skilton medal winning years, Or my tastes just changed.

Loving the goals

Probably because we're putting his attributes to better use now. Has had a great career but could've had an even better one.
