Roast Bit of a nothing thread.

I make up rumours on internet forums to help make me feel better about myself.

Make of that what you will.

Re: Knights-Hall

I'm not too shore if your telling the truth because I saw knights today at windy hill when I went to get a number on my top. What time did you see him?

 

[King Deledio]

Re: Knights-Hall

I just saw him half an hour ago. I work in the city and I know what I saw.

Re: Knights-Hall

That would be a bizzare move.

It would completely contradict Knights on everything he has said re Lloyd not being guaranteed full forward next year.

Re: Knights-Hall

Knighter has ulterior motives in place with regards to Lloyd.

I saw him in the city with Barry Hall today having a chat, he wants to retire Lloyd only to replace him with Hall.

They were having lunch at the Elms in Spring Street.

Solid replacement IMO

He may have been talking with Hall but there are no ulterior motives involved.
FFS don't you people listen or read.
The club has been very clear about what is going on and so has Knights.
They have told LLoyd they want him to play on but they have also said he can not expect to command FF or to expect to be a definate in the 22 every week if his form is patchy.
Knights has been very up front on the issue. He has told LLoyd what he sees is his role and he has said we are happy for him to play on so there is no grey areas at all.

The ball is in Lloyds court now. He has to decide if he is willing to go along with what the coach has planned.

Re: Knights-Hall

Leaving Uni today I also saw Knights today walking on LaTrobe St. Is this anywhere near the Elms Resteraunt?

Hall never played just FF. He played a roaming forward role a lot of the time which is what Lloyd has been told will with him.

U r delusional mate. Read between the lines, Knights wants to push out Lloyd. He only wants him to stay IF he comples with Knights' demands of playing on a HFF. LLoydy would be better suited to go the Dogs. Hall has more potential than Lloyd in the Bomber forward line. Replace a sniper with a thug!!

King Deledio, what kind of a horse's hoof name is that anyway. Lloyd was a star of our club, show some respect. He deserves a farewell game.
16 premierships mate...

Ant, you're yet to dismiss this rumour. Please don't tell me we are actually considering this???

Yep i know nothing about what is going on
Maybe you should check my record around this board as far as inside info on Essendon goes and then get back to me

Anyway you have said what i actually quoted peanut. Did i not say Knights is happy for him to play on if he fills the role that Knights wants and also that he was not guaranteed a spot at FF or even in the side ?

Do you have trouble reading ?

Clubs talk to a lot of players.
From what i am hearing Lloyd is probably 80/20 to retire.
I guess what happens after that is clubs talk to a number of players who are available. Personally if Lloyd gives it away i could live with Hall.

Re: Knights-Hall

OMG i saw him too, he was busking with a digeridoo on flinder st steps.

Wow, small world.

Do you think he has much to offer us? I just can't see the point in getting him (Unless he was to give Campbell Brown a few)

Agree Ant, well said. If Matty retires Hall would be a solid replacement. He's more the roaming forward anyway.

 

[crowsarethebest]

Re: Knights-Hall

No offense but this would have to be one of the most bizarre moves if true. Lloyd is a legend at your club and it'd be a massive slap in his face IMO if Hall was to replace him, who is basically the same age and also play the same position (although different styles).

Re: Knights-Hall

Would be a worse move then recruiting Ty Zantuck again.

Re: Knights-Hall

I saw Hall today in my city...

oh god, just when I thought our reign of picking up washed up players are over Mr Matthew Knights is having a chat to Bazza Hall .. disgraceful if he was our full forward .

Not a chance in hell I could see this happening. If by some freak occurence it did, it might be one of the few things I could think of that would prevent me renewing my membership in protest.

 

[saladin]

Re: Knights-Hall

there would be a revolution if lloyd retired and we picked up hall. seriously, irrespective of the genuine-ness of the dealings with lloyd, the public perception would be catastrophic. and god knows what the playing group would make of it all.


due diligence probably requires we check out all options. but i want it to go no further.
