Matthew Lloyd 'would have plowed straight through' Luke Parker after he appeared to taunt Dylan Shiel and said the lack of retaliation towards the Sydney star symbolised Essendon were now seen as a soft opponent.
The Bombers' dismal campaign took a fresh turn for the worse at the SCG on Saturday, when they lost to the Swans by 58 points - a gap which could have been far bigger had Sydney been more accurate in front of goal - to remain 16th with just two wins in nine games.
Disappointing as the result was, the manner of the defeat left Lloyd incensed, with the former Essendon great particularly disgruntled by the lack reaction following Parker's goal in the second quarter.
