#138 Matthew Lloyd - AFL Legend

from Life of Brian Hosted by Clubby Sports

This week Brian and Harrison intro the show by covering all the major topics in their lives and within the AFL, including; BT's current home project, Sydney Swans in turmoil, Robert Erwin's Logies performance, Legends Game preview, Rocky and CHAT-BT⁠ are back, and plenty more. Their guest this week is Essendon Football Club legend and one of the greatest full-forwards of all-time, Matthew Lloyd. With 270 AFL games, 926 goals, 3x Coleman Medals, 5x All-Australian selections and a captaincy at Essendon, Lloydy knows plenty about kicking goals. From his famously meticulous goal-kicking routine to the perfectionism that drove him to constantly refine his craft, there’s plenty of insight into what made him such a dangerous forward. The conversation goes well beyond football too, as Lloydy opens up about his transition out of the game, the challenge of finding his feet in the media, and what it’s like going from being scrutinised as a player to scrutinising players himself. The boys probe Lloydy on what life was like at Essendon during his time, including; what Kevin Sheedy and James Hird were really like behind closed doors, the pressure that comes with being a young footballer, and, separately, some of the lessons Lloydy has picked up coaching at young men (Haileybury College head coach). A fascinating chat with one of footy’s great characters.
