Cyril just received second BOG on the Sunday Footy Show, what a joke. Beyond overrated.
Nah. Most supporters think that there is a player in their team that 'does things nobody else can do'. Rioli's a really good player, but I haven't seen him do anything that I haven't seen other players do. He had a great game tonight, but I didn't see anything 'unique'.
What?
Go missing for big chunks of the match?
Roughead, & Gunston are good at that too.
I've been watching footy for quite some time too.
Cyril doesn't do what he does often enough & it costs.
Who would you have given the votes to in this game
It's amazing how many ex footballers don't have a clue when it comes to rating a player
mate, thats exactly wot i said, swans have yet to beat us off their own boot; 24-18 scoring shots, 54-36 inside 50s. Would hope swans fans would want to see them actually win one of these with some actual good footy... ya know, kinda like 2014 GFmate don't talk s**t. we lost that game ourselves, just like we lost the essendon game. This season is bullshit, how are we out 8th.
Parker, Mitchell and McVeigh. Probably in that order.
EDIT: Maybe replace McVeigh with Hannebery. It's close though.

It was based on the 6 replays of him playing on from a metre out of bounds & then proceeding to kick it out on the full.
The Channel 7l Hawk love fest was there for all to see.
What about the real match winner.
McVeigh!
Two goals once we were 12 points down & an assist for the 3rd that won us the match.
I would have had:I don't know who the votes went to but in a 4 point game, I really believe that cyril was one of the Hawks best And deserved votes - whether it was second best is open to discussion with those who are far more knowledgeable than me. I also presume by mitchell you mean sam not Tom and tbh While he was okay I think cyril had the bigger impact of the two
I would have had:
Hanners 3 vots
S Mitchell 2 votes
Parker 1 vote
The terms you guys lost (1st and 4th) Mitchell had little to no impact. He cut us apart in the 2nd and 3rd which you guys were well on top. Rioli did some fancy finishing stuff (like uncontested mark of the year) but he was more of the gravy you put on a roast, where Mitchell was the meat of it.
Fair enough. Not saying Riloi wasn't highly involved because he was, but just felt Mitchell started what Rioli finishedWe will need to agree to disagree - when the game was there for the taking cyril was in to everything and a major reason they got back into the game. The coaches votes may reflect that very differently - like I said, I'm no expert and the results on the Hawks board lean 50/40 rioli, but then again, we over rate him

Kudos to Sam Mitchell who wore his socks UP for the entire match! At least he looked like a footballer.
Good player, but not to the level the media seem to think.
Well, you have to wonder why players miss so many easy set shots at goal these days, perhaps if they pulled their socks up? I notice s**t like that and our players look like slobs out on the field. Still, it is the lazy generation isn't it?who notices that s**t
So how does your resume stack up against them and their lousy opinions
You probably missed all the off the ball stuff last night. We see things differently at Hawthorn. At Geelong it's all about the big hangers and big goals. Kept your supporters happy for 20 years through the 1980's and 1990's.
