Lloydy is about to share with you some of the craziest moments of his career, untold stories, the characters he played with and a whole lot more.

Matthew shares the insane injury that almost caused him to lose his life! A seemingly innocuous bump that quickly turned deadly and the immense physical pain he went through.

We hear about some of the great rivalry's withe North Melbourne in the 90's, the Brisbane Lions of early 00's and the Hawks later in the piece including the line in the sand game and the famous Sewell hit. Plus, what Clarko said to him on field and the day Campbell Brown, Luke Hodge & Jordan Lewis bumped into him in a pub!

Hear about the lengths he went to become one of the all-time greats, why he felt he was too harsh as a captain and the time he spent with Tony Lockett which shaped his career.

Plus, the player he physically hid from at the tribunal, some hysterical Kevin Sheedy stories, the night Sam Newman was dacked on the footy show and so much more!

"On the Spot" returns with a story from one of the most famous days in Essendon Footy Club history amongst many other laughs and jaw dropping moments.

This episode will become an instant favourite for any footy fan, so without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, the legendary, Matthew Lloyd.
