Essendon goal kicking champion Matthew Lloyd is excited about working with young forward’s Joe Daniher, Patrick Ambrose and Jake Carlisle in his new role as a specialist coach with the club.

Lloyd will begin work with the Bombers on Monday as the club’s goal kicking coach after agreeing to a new part time role with the club.

“I am really excited about it having retired five years ago now and being out of the AFL club system for a while,” Lloyd said.

“I have watched players kick for goal over those five years and saw that there was a hole in that area of the game in terms of routines and techniques.

“It is an area I have always wanted to assist with at AFL level so I sought out a few clubs.

“Essendon offered me a great opportunity to work with their young forwards to help develop them so looking forward to starting with the club early next week.”

The three time Coleman Medallist said he was looking forward to returning to the club he forged a successful AFL career at along with current coach James Hird and assistant Mark Harvey.

“Being the club that I was fortunate to play for over 15 years, having relationships already helped and appealed as to why I decided to fill the role at Essendon,” Lloyd said.

“The opportunity to work with Joe Daniher and to see the young player that has the capabilities to be the best forward in the game in time but has a few slight flaws in his kicking.”

Lloyd said he was looking forward to working not only with Daniher but key position star Jake Carlisle to improve his consistency in front of goal.

“The opportunity to work with someone at 19 years of age plus Jake Carlisle who is in his early 20’s was a great one for me,” he said.

“It is great to get guys at the start of their careers to help formulate a solid routine and help with a few technical flaws early in their careers, so they can have ten years of doing the right thing when kicking for goal.”

The five All Australian has indicated he will not be making dramatic changes to the routine of the players he will be working with.

“The key to kicking for goal is firstly ironing out any technical flaws, number two building a routine that you know rain, hail or shine will work and then if you do have a bad moment of two you know what you can go back to,” he said.

“That is something that I will be instilling with the younger players I will be working with at Essendon on a fair bit.”

“I realized that what worked for me might not necessarily be what works for everyone and it is about working with each person’s technique.”
