Universal Love Best Cyril Talent

[threesixpio]

This guy deserves another thread.

If there was one Cyril talent (you are not allowed to say more than one) which Cyril talent would you want

a) Supersonic acceleration
b) Lightning fast sticky fingers
c) Flying ability
d) Super strength and tackling ability
e) Stupidly good kicking skills
f) Spidey sense anticipation of ball in time and space (or otherwise known as 360 echo location)
g) cat like ability to keep feet/great balance
h) to exist in the moment with second by second thought procesess
i) fear factor/perceived pressure etc
j) super stealth mode

You are welcome to add powers

PS: I started this post in one mood and ended up sad by the end...

Anyway - I’d take the Super Strength and tackling ability

I smell comeback all over this. There is only so much turtle fishing you can do in the Tiwi Islands before the allure of a full MCG starts to draw you back in. he needs to spend some time with his Dad and family which is fair enough but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him back at the club in 12 months.

His 360 degree echo location

 

[Bumps"N"Grins]

The best super talent he had was Super Stealth mode when he would set of on a chase down tackle and the poor mug with ball had no idea he was coming.

 

[Yuley95]

His cat-like ability to land on his feet ready for his next move before the 8 opponents around him even realise he has the ball

 

[Roddy]

Watching a whole bunch of highlights today, what struck me was his ridiculously deft and clever little tap ons to players in the clear. Freakish, but didn’t get one single ‘stat’ for it.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Awareness. Nobody had his awareness.

1 vote for Spidey sense

 

[bumsonseats]

Can stand on one leg and juggle 3 balls whilst drinking a glass of water and still generate perceived pressure.
Even when he was having a spell on the bench

Aren’t they called 1 percenters now.....?

Cyril’s football brain processes things faster than everyone else’s. It’s like he sees the game in slow motion.

After watching the thank you & goodbye video it looks like that doesn’t it.
12 months away from the game...2020 return for 2-3 years back at winning premierships.
Cyril looked a little torn but making a family first decision. Good on him

 

[Flamin Joe]

No he's done. If he's going to be playing football again it will be back with St Mary's in the NTFL. He said this in a newspaper article a few years back that he would love to finish his playing days there and that's what I expect to happen now.

I dare say though that he probably planned this to happen after he hit 30 but his father's health brought plans forward. So that's probably the only surprise in all this that he's called time on his AFL career so early.

 

[Hawk Dork]

His ability to cause panic in the opposition based on past deeds

Too popular not to add in

 

[LuckyHawk]

Incredible balance.

 

[Wesley2]

Ability to make Tippet look like a massive spud, but to be fair Tippet had that power too.

It’s like Cyril has the added power of getting people to fully realise their potential.

 

[toomanysquibs]

Like many good superheroes, Cyril could freeze or slow time to escape the clutches of enemies, or break away from congestion.

This meant that sometimes he looked like Yoda circa the Episode 2 lightsaber duel, getting in repeat efforts at a contest before anyone else had a chance to react to what was happening.

 

[A Cut Above]

Ability to change his mind on the fly in a split second and react accordingly without ever seeming off-balance, in a way that makes the actions of other players seem laughably pre-programmed and rigid.

In other words, his ability to exist completely in the moment.

That’s a good one. Will add it

I'm not happy about the "cat" reference.
