Gotta sell newspapers s'pose Pt 2

Nothing much new there besides the meeting with Hamilton. We knew the rest already.

As for Lovett, if it is true that he is asking 500k, he needs to take his hand off it. One good year, with 4 useless games in the last four rounds doesn't earn a player that sort of cash.

Have heard that Lovett's manager is a cock, so wouldn't surprise me if he is feeding the media the info to boost his value.

Aren't they all?... They're essentially pimps in my humble opinion...

"Lloyd is adamant he doesnt want to play VFL matches".

Says it all. Lloydy is scared of being dropped. With the form he displayed this season one can hardly blame him. He is no different to any other player now that he is non captain. I think Lloydy trying to make sure some how he doesnt get dropped is ridiculous and also indicative of him having no confidence in his game week in and week out.

If he wants to play then play, but Lloydy mate you have to earn your spot. Yourve been a champ but you not above being dropped for stinking it up for consecutive weeks.

You complain when we're not in the paper but now you complain when we are. Filthy.........

Nah I see what you mean buddy, but controversy sells. So I guess they gotta create some where there isn't. :p

I don't think it is unreasonable for someone of his stature to say he doesn't want to languish in the reserves.

It was good enough for Simon Madden and Terry Daniher who were better players than Lloyd (imo)....maybe Lloydy should have a chat to those two legends of the club.

If it was a case of playing at 12 instead of 2.10 for an Essendon team at Windy Hill then I doubt Lloyd would've had such an issue with playing 2's. Things are a little different now Swoods.

Sismis, it is unreasonable.

Lloydy became a champ based on performance. Performace is what gets you games. If Lloyd is playing like crap, like he was for much of this season, then why should he be selected week in and week out???

This isnt about Lloyd, its about the future of the EFC. Something which Lloyd isnt bigger than.

Sismis, why should Lloydy be exempt from being dropped now that he wont be captain next season??? If he has, say, 4-5 shockers in a row, Knighta should keep playing him??!! No he should be dropped to find form and when he does he should be selected again.

If I was a player I wouldn't want to be picked unless I was deserving of being picked. And you cant get games based off yester-years performances either.

You gotta earn your spot, Im surprised he has a problem with that.

Sounds a bit precious to me Sis....Scotty didn't like it but he was a true professional and it was good enough for him to go to Bendigo....is that a better comparison for you?

maybe Lloyd doesn't want to travel for an hour to get pumped by 21 goals every week by lining up with the abomination that is the Bendigo Bankrupt Bombers?
