Well, you've obviously got some laundry that you'd like to air about Lloyd, seeing as you brought him up in a thread totally unrelated to him. There's been plenty enough said about Lloyd already in other threads. Suffice to say that i obviously give a f*** about NLM because he's one of our middle-aged players who's position on the list needs to be examined - our captain is clearly not in that position.BenDoolan wrote:Come off it Jimmy, Lloyd is the skipper, he's the focal point of everything going forward. Who really gives a f*** about NLM?

Re: Stamp NLM's passport
NLM gave us poise and grunt in defense tonight. This is his role.
It's what he does next week that matters.

I agree Tony...I thought NLM played quite a solid game, especially in the first half.tonysoprano wrote:Normally a very average player - but was excellent v Adel tonight - credit where its due.

Re: Stamp NLM's passport
I played at the same club as Nat Rat in Western Victoria and he was hardly ever at trainning and I was very surprised that he got picked for the Michael Long scholoship. very flambouyant when he played and looked like he could do whatever he wanted, but he seems lazy when he was on the track and not at all committed. These things I am sure that do not make great footballers. At the moment he looks like he is donig everything he can, tring to play to the team rules, but he just dosen't have a good footy brain under pressure.

Re: Stamp NLM's passport
Average again. Would drop him for Lovett/Winderlich/Houli whoever next week.
Re: Stamp NLM's passport
Thought he was good again tonight. Atkinson will have to make way for one of those guys next week Rob.

Re: Stamp NLM's passport
I didn't think he was great and I didn't think he was bad either. Houli and Lovett to return next week, Winderlich is still 3 or so weeks away they were saying, I would think that NLM survives the chop with Atkinson and Jetta the first two to go down. Jetta needs to go to the 2nds find some form, kick some goals, get some easy touches and come back to the side with some confidence.

Re: Stamp NLM's passport
It's all one way traffic with NLM. When we are going well, he looks ok. When we are not, he's ******* awful. He's like a poor man's Blake Carracella.
Re: Stamp NLM's passport
You're kidding? His disposal was poor and his opponents continually took easy marks, I can recall Hunter took two easy ones (as well as some soft free kicks).BenDoolan wrote:Thought he was good again tonight. Atkinson will have to make way for one of those guys next week Rob.

Re: Stamp NLM's passport
If you open your other eye Rosso, you might have also seen the good run he provided and the linking work from half back - not to mention the goal he stole when he drifted forward. f*** me some people just love bashing blokes no matter what they do. Even I can admit when someone like Monfries or Laycock plays well.Rossoneri wrote:You're kidding?

Those free kicks were ******* hilarious. If they were serious, Lloyd and Lucas would be paid half a dozen free kicks a game for the exact same infringements. And Hunter did take a couple of good contested marks from my memory. If it wasn't for the frees, I don't Hunter would have scored any goals.

Re: Stamp NLM's passport
Yes he provided great run, too bad he couldnt hit a target with it. He had an awful night, way down on his past two matches.BenDoolan wrote:If you open your other eye Rosso, you might have also seen the good run he provided and the linking work from half back - not to mention the goal he stole when he drifted forward. f*** me some people just love bashing blokes no matter what they do.

Re: Stamp NLM's passport
He's a natural forward, not a defender. Play him on a half-forward flank and he'll do ok.
Re: Stamp NLM's passport
Not sure how many goals were kicked on him today, I reckon it was 6.

Re: Stamp NLM's passport
Wasn't alone there - I reckon Henry got absolutely toweled-up today and had just as many kicked on him.

NLM and Lamecock the pair of them..........................pack your bags
It just fell out of the sky
Re: Stamp NLM's passport

Re: Stamp NLM's passport
I cant believe people are comparing NLM and Lamecock. NLM is a great footballer - very under-rated IMO. Can play tall or small, good in the air, can and does run the lines and has played on and beaten some pretty handy forwards over the last few years. Lamecock is a joke, unfit, and for a man of his size a real light-weight. I really hope we trade Lamecock...
