Fair enough, I can see you lack the brains to have a proper discussion. Fine by me.
Wood is no doubt an excellent player who has really come on in the last two seasons but I think you are underrating Rioli a fair bit.
Rioli is a 3 x All Australian and Norm Smith Medallist. Rioli has been top 5-6 in the B&F (of a champion side) something like 7 times - including his debut year in a premiership side.
If not for injury cutting short some of his best seasons, Rioli would likely have been AA at least 5 times by now.
Wood only made the AA squad for the first time in 2015 (after 8 seasons)!
Also, stats are not everything. Breusts' stats are better than Rioli's for example (and Breust kicks 50 odd goals every year) and every single Hawthorn fan will tell you that Rioli is easily the better and more impactful player.
His ability to beat multiple players, get the ball when he has no right to, get out of outnnumbered and outpositioned situations, tackling, pressure and clever tap ons that don't count as stats all add up to a player better than a stat sheet suggests. He doesn't need to run around the back of a pack collecting extra handballs (or do dinky 1-2's) like so many others to be a star.
