Matthew Lloyd kicked 926 goals across 270 games with the Bombers. Twice he reached the century of goals, in 2000 and in 2001. At the age of 31 famously retired from the game at the conclusion of the 2009 season and moved into a role in the media.

In this special edition of Centurions, Lloydy tells Damo how he ended up playing in the AFL as a school kid in the mid-90's, and how his career almost came to an end before it had even really begun.
