Cyril Rioli is still the most overrated player of all time.

AFL Member so all clubs I guess.
I don't know how you have such goo resistance but I dare say it's a super power
It was just a set kick from 55. It wasnt a buddy franklin run the ball down the wing then kick a goal, or the one when he jumped over the collingwood player to kick the ball from 65. Those are goo worthy goals

His game as a whole was epic. That's the reason why this thread exists - people think he's doesn't do much.

Last night was yet another example that he's a champion.

Andrew Phillips also kicked a winning set shot from outside 50 earlier in the year.

Champion :thumbsu:
Good context there. :thumbsu:

Cyril adds pressure to our forward line.
Kicks goals.
Takes great marks.
Has elite speed and skills.
Does many things that aren't 'stats'

And he'd walk into any club in the country.

But I'm rapt you've got Phil Andrews. I'm sure he'll be great. But I'm happier having Cyril. :)

So he's a glorified Dennis Armfield :D

Really though, the word champion gets thrown around far too easily and the use of it here just vindicates the thread.
