What more can one say.
Umpires? Pfft… The Brownlow is a midfielder's medal.

lol @ the hawfs still bumping this in a desperate attempt to make a case for Cyrily...

Champion players usually let their actions speak for themselves, too bad little tic-tac legs needs all the armchair athletes he can get to back him up... :oops::thumbsu:

This just highlights another area where Wingard has Cyrily covered. ;)

Yes. That is what is being said by muppets who hardly ever see him play.
These numbskulls compare his number of possessions to midfielders. :drunk::thumbsu::thumbsu:

Meanwhile, the people who actually know what they're talking about - his teammates, his coaches, rival coaches, rival players, ex-players who work in the media and go to 50 games a year - these people all rate him as a dangerous force with or without the ball and one of the better players in the game.

Hopefully this year, Cyril can earn his 3rd All-Australian award, his 5th premiership medal, a 2nd Norm Smith and become even more overrated.

Too many encyclopaedia hawthorn dorks in this thread. :thumbsdown:

Nerds justifying why Thyril isn't overrated is getting embarrassing. :(
:D

Sure, I'm an "encyclopaedia hawthorn dork", but calling people nerds on Big Footy is a bit like a fish shooting other fish in a barrel. Let's face it: being a sad dork is a prerequisite to posting regularly on here. We all know this, even though we might not like to admit it.

Whether you're posting Cyril stats & gooey tributes, or adopting the troll persona and relentlessly taunting Hawk fans with "overrated Thyril" jibes, the end result is the same. Neither of these behaviours is going to lead to you becoming an A-lister, getting your dick sucked by some hot model in the back of a limo, with 100 screaming autograph hunters banging on the tinted windows.

What ever happened to the OP. ;)
What's gone wrong with Cyril! FFS I can understand why the Hawk Geriatrics have fallen off the cliff this year but Cyril is in his prime and still struggles to hit double figure stats.
Honestly, I'm not even trolling. Cyril should be getting 20 plus a game this year
