Lloyd Goal of the Year!! WTF???

I agree, Lloyd career wise is the best forward. At the moment, I would say a few are ahead of him.
I can relate - we've always kicked to Fev even when he was triple teamed instead of looking for better options.

If youre an unco like Keppler Bradley maybe. For the rest of the civilian population that goal is a piece of piss.

congratulations to Lloyd for a great effort
everyone can sup on sour grapes if they want. Sure, there are other goals that were good, and possibly subjectively better; but it's just poor form to have a sook.
Congratulations Lloyd
Its not sour grapes. Realistically it shouldnt even have been close to goal of the week at the time. Neon Leon kicked a pearler from the boundary that Friday night. And what do you mean 'possibly' subjectively better?!?!?! Anyone who has ever played footy at any level would have kicked a better goal than that at some opint.
Oh sorry must be that Essendon bias rearing its ugly head again

Wonder if they have accepted the fact that Judd wont be playing for em next year. They still hold onto the off-chance that the other 3 teams fold.

poor snake, don't blame you for holding a grudge mate after all the touch ups we've given you over the years.

Exactly. I mean, you see at least 3 or 4 of them a game, since it is so easy
Back to your english homework young fella.
8^O --- heel kick --- oblivious Carlton players parading as defenders --- clever goal.

Sorry I couldnt make it to the round 22 game because I was too busy arm wrestling. Any updates on that game??

Great goal by Lloyd, quick thinking and a well deserved winner of goal of the year. If it was anyone but Lloyd none of you would be sooking.

Thats fine. You still got Winderlich.

Because he is really good. Maybe the 'new' Judd.
Anyway I know what your original point was. That he'd rather play for you guys than West Coast. Whats the point of that if he never does play for you? He did captain us to a flag you know. Its like saying id rather shag Jessica Alba instead of my missus. If it never happens who cares who id rather shag?
Winderlich will be fine, we'll leave it at that.
You're example is a bit off. I'll give you a better one.
Say you were one of 3 candidates for a job. You miss out on the job, however you are told that you were the next best applicant. That way, you at least get to take solace in the fact that you're better than someone.

Actually saw a free kick paid a couple of weeks ago for a "drop kick".
"No, that's incorrect disposal, the ball hit the ground before you kicked it.
I don't think there's actually anything in the rules that prevents a drop kick as a legal form of disposal, it used to be all the rage.
Unfortunately I can't remember who it was that was penalised, but you'd have to be pretty jacked off that you gave away a free kick for a proper version of a drop kick, when a lucky through the legs and back heel one gets goal of the year!!!

It's because that player was tackled before he dropped the ball, Lloyd was never tackled, when will the dolts on here get that through their thickheads.
I don't think Lloyds had a case. It was clever, deserved a second look but not goal of the week, nevermind goal of the year.
Didak would have had it in the bag if he hit that bicylce, that was ridiculous, point of the decade for sure...
Motlop was a clear winner for me though. That kick was about as close to impossible as you can get. I can guarentee that I could go out in a park and spend the entire day trying to replicate it and not. Not just that it was from 50 but to kick the ball in one direction and have it go the other is basically impossible when it comes to physics. There aren't more than 5 players who I have seen play the game that could kick that goal.

Ya gotta admit though, that, as a cliche, it has long stood the test of time and public opinion.
Lloydie should do the honourable and manly thing by publicly awarding the prize to someone that he considers more deserving. Don't imagine he will however.
"It's arguable that any of us might have kicked the Lloyd goal, yet who other than the most gifted athletes can kick banana goals from 50 (Motlop)"
Glad to see Mike Sheehan agreeing with me in the Herald Sun today.
