Agree with this but by the end of their career's i think MRj will end up #3 on the list and Daniel will become the Rioli to play the most amount of games

Now that's really stretching it

 

[Tiger2709]

People putting Daniel ahead of Dean, wtf? I hate everything about Essendon but even I find this ridiculous, Dean was a freak.

It might be because of the following reasons

Dean Rioli

AFL Rising Star nominee: 1999 WAFL premiership: 1997 Years Club Games (Goals) 1999–2006 Essendon 100 (91)

Daniel Rioli

AFL 3x AFL premiership player: 2017, 2019, 2020 All-Australian squad: 2022 AFL Goal of the Year: 2017 22under22 team: 2017 AFL Rising Star nominee: 2016 Richmond Jack Titus Medal (2nd RFC B&F): 2022 Cosgrove-Jenkins Award (RFC Best First-Year Years Club Games (Goals) 2016– Richmond 139 (99)

I rate Cyril slightly higher than Maurice at VFL/AFL level. Maurice was a sublime footballer for sure but Cyril was more influential on the big stage. While Maurice has a Norm Smith to his name it wasn’t a dominant, obvious choice on the day whereas Cyril has numerous finals and big games marked by game-changing performances/moments.

Cyril is certainly a great player but dont forget Maurice played 120 odd games with STh Fremantle before his VFL career where he carved it up when back in the day the wafl was in its heyday and a fantastic comp. Also his SOO career for WA was amazing. i saw him play for South Freo and he was untouchable. I reckon if those 120 WAFL games were converted into VFL he would be neck and neck with CYril.
