6 years out of the game, mid 30's, unkown training in between. Yea that would be some actual magic if he played again.
so he's well rested.

As I said, assuming he hasn't let himself go and would be passed medically fit to play, I reckon he's worth the punt.
Arguably the most skilful player I've ever seen.

Are we all suddenly forgetting he was one of the claimants in the hawthorn racism saga?
What's that go to do with him potentially playing with us?

It's the HFC he has beef with, not the NMFC. If he believes that they were systematically racist towards him/his family, it's his right to go after them.

Alistair Clarkson was coach at the time & one of the main alleged culprits.
It’s irrelevant anyway…. Cyril Rioli isn’t playing AFL anymore!
 
Looking at players and positions we finally have some degree of lost balance, still to work on but with the young age of these Rooboys the list finally has some exciting potential. Almost like last year was ground zero rebuild. Anyway, looking like Clarko and boys have something to get stuck in to and turn into something like gold. Apologises to any Joeys I’ve missed.

Back pockets: Archer, Drury, LMAC
Hbf: Scheez,Hardeman, Goater, Bergs, Tucker
C: Stephens, Scott, Ford
Hf: Ford, Duursma, Hansen, Sleevo, Chommy, George Sausage, Cooper
Fp: Curtis, Bull, Souv
Onball: Warlord, LDU, Tarryn, Jy, Colby, Phillips, Laz, Powell
Keybacks: Logue, Goad, Pink, Corr, Biggy, Dawson
Rks: X, W Dawson, CCJ
Old heads: Shiel, Greenwood, Corr
 
We discussing this?

Would we want him? Clarko get in his ear?
If he passed a medical, and was in reasonable shape, I'd be up for recruiting him. Imagine some Cyril magic in our forward line, even if just for a year or two. The type of player we've been desperate for!


Clarko was in his ear, he would have been in our program but for Rusty and Lucky Phil's bullshit.

Suspect Gowers and co have lured him back to Hawthorn though, good way to Jeff proof themselvess.

He would have fit in well in the past few seasons...

Little known fact but prior to the racism story breaking Cyril was set to be playing for us or potentially in a mentorship capacity with Clarko.

Probably playing though.
So there you go. He doesn't have an issue with Clarko

Playing? At 34 and 4 years removed from AFL? An off field role would have been plausible though.

Yeah, I'm not sure if anyone's seen any recent photos of him. It takes a fair bit of effort to lose that sort of weight

Other ideas of equal merit:

Throw money at Sam Darcy because he didn't cement a senior key forward spot in his first 6 months, might be up for a change.

Trade for Clayton Oliver. Quality premiership players don't become available too often.

We could certainly use some white line fever in this at-times lacklustre team

No chance he returns to Hawthorn
Yes it seems implausible given Cyril and his wife's disdain for the club and the way things ended as well as their own apparent feelings about the broader experiences of other first nations families that were revealed in the leaked report. However, their concerns may well be targeted at certain individuals and they may well feel that a powerful statement can be made by supporting the new regime. The only thing we know for sure is that we know nothing in terms of what Cyril and Shannon are thinking or planning.
 
Cyril made claims against Kennett and Hawks but was still close with Clarko. Then he has backed the other claimants who were targeting Clarko.

I don't know where that puts him and Clarko but I don't imagine that he'll be playing footy at an elite level again, anyway.

He and Clarko will come face to face to discuss all this at the AHRC.
