Sam Lloyd arrived at the Kennel during the 2018 NAB Trade Period after five seasons with the Richmond Football Club.
The clever goal-kicker began his AFL career as a forward after showing excellent form in the VFL, but also displayed his craft as an inside midfielder.
Lloyd was a member of Richmond's VFL Premiership team in 2017, claiming the Norm Goss Medal as best afield in the season decider.
Lloyd was initially selected by Richmond as a 4th round selection (No. 66 overall) in the 2013 NAB AFL Draft.
In his first season in red, white and blue, Lloyd played every game - including the Elimination Final against GWS Giants - and finished as the Bulldogs’ leading goal-kicker, kicking 38 goals for the season.
Lloyd kicked multiple goals in 13 matches in 2019, and went goalless in just three games as he established himself as a key member of the Bulldogs’ developing forward line.
