And the Bombers will take a public vote via its website to identify another past great to have his name emblazoned at the other end.
The decision comes as Richmond, Geelong and Collingwood seek ways to honour recently retired stars Matthew Richardson, Tom Harley and Anthony Rocca early next season.
What a crock of sh!t!

Why don't they name the blades of grass after Lloyd. He seems to have a fascination with them.

I think you'll find it's Essendon's attempt to make the venue they play all their home games at, a bit more like home. Something the Power are quite interested in. It makes sense to me. The names Lockett and Coventry don't mean much to the average Essendon fan, so why should ends of their home ground be named after them? It's not a stadium with a great history or anything. As far as Lloyd being chosen for an end, he is our leading goal-kicker of all time, with daylight 2nd. And that seems to be the criteria for naming an end.

The name Coventry doesn't mean much to Collingwood either, hell ask their membership people....

The player who has kicked the most goals at the venue is Lloyd, so why not name an end after him?

Does that mean everyone at that end is obligated to dive as a tribute
