The Lloyds moved to Scotland for three years because of John 's work, and it was there that Matthew picked up rugby and soccer playing for his Currie club. Lloyd attended St Martin De Porres Parish Primary School in Avondale Heights before moving to St Bernards College, Essendon. He supported the Fitzroy Football Club when he was young because in the first game he attended, Fitzroy player Bernie Quinlan kicked nine goals. Career AFL Lloyd was drafted into the AFL as a 16 - year - old in the 1995 Pre-season Draft as a `` compensatory selection '' that was awarded to Essendon by the AFL in return for losing Todd Ridley to the newly formed Fremantle Football Club. The Bombers picked up what would be one of their all - time greats for a relative pittance in the draft. Lloyd was heralded as a future football star after his AFL debut in Round 14, 1995, where he scored a goal with his first kick in league football and three for the match. The key features of Lloyd 's game were his powerful marks on the lead ( particularly overhead ), his use of his body in a defensive capacity and accurate goal kicking, particularly from set shots on his left foot. He converted a large majority of set shots inside the 50 - metre arc and kicked further than 50 metres on a regular basis. Lloyd was known for his ritual when taking set shots at goal. Almost every time he took time to go far back on the mark, pull both his socks up, then grab some grass and throw it into the air to measure the wind and take a very long run up before kicking. In 2006, the AFL introduced a `` shot clock '' to limit the amount of time that players had to take set shots ; although Lloyd 's ritual was not the longest in the league its quirks made it so well known that the rule became commonly known as the `` Lloyd Rule ''. Lloyd adjusted his ritual to fit into the new rule, and still retained the most famous aspect ( throwing grass ) until the end of his career. Lloyd 's goalscoring ability enabled him to top the Essendon goal scoring every year from 1997 to 2009, except for 2006 when he only played three games due to a serious hamstring injury. Lloyd in the 2007 AFL season Lloyd was selected in the All - Australian team on five occasions ( 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003 ), won the Coleman Medal for kicking the most goals in the regular season three times ( 2000, 2001 and 2003 ) and twice kicked more than 100 goals in a completed season ( 109 in 2000 and 105 in 2001 ; on both occasions he reached the milestone during the finals ). Lloyd was a member of Essendon 's 2000 premiership team and was captain of Essendon from 2006 to 2009. He was recognised for his achievements at Essendon in 2002 when he was ranked the 22nd greatest player ever to play for the club in the `` Champions of Essendon '' list. Lloyd was appointed Essendon captain ahead of the 2006 season, after James Hird elected to stand down following the side 's disappointing 2005 season. Lloyd 's first match as Essendon captain resulted in a 27 - point win over the defending premiers Sydney, where he kicked eight goals ( six of them in the first quarter alone ). It would be the only win that Essendon would enjoy under Lloyd 's captaincy until exactly a year later. As well as being the top all - time goal scorer, captain and life member at Essendon, Lloyd was part of its 2000 premiership team. In 2013 Lloyd was inducted as a member of the Australian Football Hall of Fame and as a Legend in the Essendon Football Club Hall of Fame. State of Origin Lloyd had a successful State of Origin career, kicking 8 goals in 3 games. He first played for Victoria in 1997, against South Australia, kicking 3 goals, including a snap kick along the ground from near the boundary line, which went one way then curved back another. In 1998 Lloyd kicked two goals against The Allies, in Brisbane. Lloyd last played for Victoria in 1999 against South Australia in the second - last ever State of Origin game, kicking 3 goals and being named in the best players. Career highlights In Round 20 2007 Lloyd kicked a backheel goal whilst surrounded by opponents and was awarded the 2007 Goal of the Year. In Round 18 against the Melbourne Demons, Lloyd took a spectacular mark above five players to win the 2008 Mark of the Year. A haul of eight goals in that match gave Lloyd his best return since Round 1, 2006. Performances against the Sydney Swans In Round 3, 1999, Lloyd, aged just 21 at the time, kicked a record 13 goals against the Sydney Swans at the MCG, kicking the first goal of the game and breaking John Coleman 's record for most goals kicked by an Essendon player against the Swans. In his first game as Essendon captain, also playing against the Sydney Swans, Lloyd kicked eight goals ( six in the first quarter against his opponent, Leo Barry ) He kicked a total of 69 goals playing against the Swans, including the aforementioned 13 in 1999 and eight in the first round of the 2006 season. Injuries During Essendon 's 1996 preliminary final against the Sydney Swans in Sydney, Lloyd ruptured his spleen. He suffered a large amount of blood loss and spent 10 days in intensive care in a Sydney hospital. In Round 6, 2002 against Fremantle, Lloyd ruptured a tendon in his right ring finger when it was caught in his opponents guernsey. It required surgery to be reattached and he was out for eight weeks. Lloyd returned in Round 14 against the Western Bulldogs when Steven Kretiuk controversially targeted his injured hand. Midway through the third quarter of the Essendon vs Bulldogs match on 16 April 2006 ( which happened to be Lloyd 's 28th birthday ), opponent Brian Harris accidentally fell on Lloyd as he tried to mark the ball. Lloyd walked off the ground with the aid of trainers and did not return for the rest of the match. Following scans, a week later it was revealed that the hamstring tendon had been snapped off the bone. Surgery to repair the career - threatening injury took place which ruled him out for the rest of the season. Lloyd 's absence from the team was felt hard, as the Bombers finished near the foot of the ladder at season 's end. As Lloyd was captain of Essendon and was unable to play for the remainder of the season ( his first year in fact ), David Hille was promoted to team captain in Lloyd 's absence. Lloyd made a successful comeback against Adelaide at AAMI Stadium in Round 1, 2007. He kicked two goals while working further up the ground, putting to rest any concerns about his injured hamstring. Essendon beat Adelaide by 31 points. Brad Sewell incident In Round 22, 2009 Lloyd ended Hawthorn 's finals hopes when he hit Brad Sewell with a heavy bump that left him unconscious and with facial injuries, and led to a brawl between the two teams. In the bitter aftermath of the match, Hawthorn 's Campbell Brown called Lloyd `` one of the biggest snipers in the game '' and said that `` his time is coming '',. Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson threatened Lloyd and abused an interchange steward and had to be restrained by Hawthorn football manager Mark Evans as the teams left the field. AFL CEO Andrew Demetriou defended Lloyd 's reputation, Clarkson was fined for his comments and later apologised for the outburst. Essendon went on to win the match by 22 points after trailing by 17 points at the time of the incident, and in the week after the match, Lloyd was given a six - match suspension by the match review panel for the hit on Sewell. This was reduced to four matches after he decided not to appeal the sanction. Lloyd only served one match of his suspension, Essendon 's elimination final loss to Adelaide at AAMI Stadium, before announcing his retirement on 23 September 2009.

He also left SEN to join 3AW 's AFL special comments team. In 2013, he joined Footy Classified as a panelist alongside Gary Lyon, Craig Hutchison and Caroline Wilson ; as well as continuing his regular roles on The Sunday Footy Show and 3AW Football.
