still makes me angry that lloyd was painted as having done something incredibly outrageous akin to a grinter v wallace incident.
fark me, two guys going hard at a loose ball, sewell got there first and lloyd followed through, didn't through an elbow or do anything particularly untoward but caught him high because had his head down, lloyd has about half a foot on him and lloyd was pushed into the contest.
there was a time not so long ago where he wouldn't even have been suspended for it.
lol. come on. two blokes going hard at the ball? haha
he lined the bloke up from 50m away and knocked him into next week.
i never saw it that. was at the game and thought he had eyes for the ball right up until the last moment. I know lloydy has said he thought he needed to stand up and make a statement but i don't think he came of the line to charge at someone.
He had eyes for the ball until the last moment....unlike certain Hawthorn players in the infamous "line in the sand" game who never deviated from the man.

Yep.
And the idea that you can 'line up' a player from 50m away in the modern game is laughable.
It was an accident, pure and simple.
The only problem with this is Lloyd insists on telling everyone he totally meant it.
Again, Lloyd was a very, very good player.
Has been a good player for them but he's just about past it now.
Just a random thought, but after watching a couple of replays of last years GF he was generally seen as their best but his poor kicking/turn overs just about cost them the game.
Sewell is exactly the type of player GWS need. His experience & tough body is perfect for helping develop their young mids. As much as they don't want to become a Bears type retirement home, they still need some more experienced heads. They should have plenty of cap space & with Buddy turning them down they possibly have to spend extra somewhere.
For us he doesn't really fill a need. He's maybe an upgrade on Howlett or a possible replacement for Hocking (if injuries hit) but we need better disposal & some outside class - that aint Sewell.

so lloyd just decides to lie about it? its just coincidence we needed to make a statement after half time, and our captain just accidently ran from full forward, inside the centre square off the first bounce and "accidentally" laid out a opposition player?
ffs. im not sure whether you lot are serious. of course he farking meant it, you only need to watch the replays to figure that out.
and it was a awesome hit. it did exactly what he wanted it to. unsettle them

History shows Hawthorn trades blokes when they're shot, so no way. I'd have thought we would have learned from the Mark Williams trade to be very wary of trading with Hawthorn.

I think it's you that needs to watch the replay.
Lloyd runs from CHF, not FF, which is still a hell of a long way.
The ball bobbles and bounces so much that the idea of lining a player up is just stupid. It's not Matthews/Bruns or Yeates/Brereton.
Lloyd runs towards the contest hard, hits the contest with his palms face up (ball or man, you tell me what that suggests?) and hits Sewell with his non-leading shoulder, which is ridiculously difficult to do deliberately.
I honestly can't say what Lloyd is thinking when he says it was all part of his wily scheme.
He was a very, very good player.

Agreed. Moved Jono Hay on knowing he had issues as well. Do not trust what Hawthorn offers. Would take Savage though.
