I think you'll find that the vast majority of other clubs supporters couldn't care less.
This thread is more about bagging out Lloyd than it is complaining about the decision itself.

926 goals to be exact. If thats not legendary, then your a fool.
Correct. It's not the first time it has happened and it has happened more than once. Nobody cares. The media love to jump on any little thing that they can and even they are just seeing it for what it is. Unfortunately you will always get people on BF making something out of nothing.
Partly true. It is the clubs way of honouring two greats of our football club and giving the supporters a chance to celebrate their careers. Of course marketing comes into it but to be honest i feel embarrassed for you that you would be so embarrassed over such a trivial thing.
The Locket & Coventry ends have been changed in the past on more than one occasion but you probably didn't even know this. This is how trivial it is. It is just another reason for people to have a bitch on this forum. Nobody outside of it cares.
Firstly, Lloyd kicked over 900 goals. Secondly, Lloyd was not a good player. He was the greatest FF of his generation and one of the all time greats of the Essendon fc. Anyone outside of BF knows he was a champion but on this site you will always come accross people like yourself who will label him a good player just for the sake of a troll.
BTW you do realise that Coventry played for almost two decades don't you? I'm quite sure Lloyd would have kicked over 1000 goals if he had of played as long.

Re: The "Lloyd" end - WTF?
Careful if you get tickets up the Lloyd end.
The seats collapse and fall to the ground with the slightest contact.

great idea. More innovation from Essendon. You have to admire the efforts the club are making to truly make ES a red & black fortress, & a fitting tribute to the grounds highest goal kicker 
And I wonder who's fault was that?? Lloyd's body was holding up pretty well.
Personally, I think that if it's temporary and only for Essendon's home games, it isn't that much of a problem, though it is still disrespectful towards Coventry and Lockett. The reason you name something after them is for all 16 (18) clubs to honour them, not 15 clubs.
If Essendon wanted to do something to honour Lloyd, they could've petitioned to officially name him after something else which is unnamed. This is just a publicity ploy by Essendon disguised as honouring someone.

It will be at the water end, also known as 'Diver's Corner".

I'm hoping the other end is named after Madden, the second highest goal scorer.

Geez did you eally need to reply to this? I think it was pretty obvious that i was just putting the troll back in his place. We all know that Lloyd kicked more then 700 goals and was more than a good player.
Is this the same view you had all the other times the ends were renamed or are you totally unaware that it has happened in the past. I can't recall big Plugger kicking up a fuss.
Good idea. Maybe we should have the two main stands at our home ground named the Matthew Lloyd stand & the James Hird stand, for all eternity. Currently unnamed so it shouldn't be a problem. I'm sure nobody would have a problem with this.

Who gives a rats?
It will be an Essendon only thing anyway. The rest of the world will go on as before. Pretty stupid realy having different names for ends depending on who is playing.
I just hope people don't "dive" off the second tier.

Tell that to the King of the highhorse, Timmy.
I'm not on any highhorse. You really need to read threads properly before jumping to conclusions. Thanks for thinking of me though.
I have said that although its a bit disrepectful, that its not a big issue.

the taxi rank outside the ground will now be referred to as 'the hurley', the toilets will be called the 'NLM' because its a great place to score and the doughnut stand will be called 'the neagle'.
