""It’s full of great people this footy club and you just play to the best of your ability. When something like this comes along I rate this with winning the 2000 premiership,"" Lloyd said. ""It’s a huge honour and I’m really proud to be part of this great club.""
""I knew that if you play senior football for 10 years that you would get life membership of the football club. I remember when I got here at the end of 1994 that I didn’t think would still be here 10 years later.
""At 26 years of age it’s pretty young to get life membership, I was thinking that maybe Tim Watson would be the only other player at Essendon that would have got it younger.
""I always say now that I don’t want to coach or anything like that but I always to see how the club is going (in the future). I would still like to be involved with the club in some way to help out with my knowledge.
""I’ve been really lucky to be part of such a strong club, successfully and financially who gives you everything possible to play the best footy you can.""
