Biography
Matthew James Lloyd (born 16 April 1978) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Essendon Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
A highly decorated full-forward, Lloyd's AFL's honours include being the eighth all-time leading goalkicker in the history of AFL/VFL, including three Coleman Medals as leading goalkicker in the league, AFL life membership, and winning both the Mark of the Year and Goal of the Year awards. Among his representative honours are five All-Australian selections, three times representing the Victoria State of Origin team, as well as twice representing Australia in International rules football.
Lloyd has kicked over 100 goals in a season twice. He also belongs to the relatively small group of players whose first kick in the AFL resulted in a goal.
