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

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.
Yeah those 4 time premiership players just grow on trees... :rolleyes:

Well they do down at Hawthorn...

What's with all the arse sore Carltank Flogs?

You would think the way they all "Hawthorn this Hawthorn that" we have been raping them for 10 years or something.

Oh wait. :)
My son is 11 in October.

He's seen 4 Hawthorn flags and never seen us lose to Carlton.

What a time to be alive. :)

We took Stevie J instead of cyril.
More goals and more liked by the crowd,also more hurt he creates for geelong fans.
Also Hawthorn tend not to discard our champions with such disloyalty as the handbaggers so you had zero chance of getting Cyril.
Stevie J is a good consilation prize though.
Kudos too on the buttpain for the Geelong fans :)

Cyril is a good player, but his not the player the media will have you believe he is, and it's a ******* nightmare listening to the commentary on channel 7 and fox footy whenever his anywhere near the ******* pill, I don't think anyone really deserves the over exposure he has, but what you've got to remember it's not his fault Bruce has a wank whenever his within a 20 km basis and just because someone is overrated it doesn't make them a bad player, Chris Judd for example, champion at West Coast and deserved the praise he got, but after about his 3rd year at Carlton, the amount of undeserved praise he got was ******* insane, even the umpires new he wasn't at his best as our own Brent Moloney beat him easily in the brownlow, and we all know how good the umpires are when it comes to judging the best in the competition....:p but to say Chris Judd was bad wasn't actually because he was bad, it was because you hated how overrated he was at the time, same with Cyril (except Cyril is definitely a better player then Judd was at that point). To say that Cyril is not good doesn't make sense, if I get you to tell me all of his career highlights you'd sound like an idiot. Anyone who knows anything about football will be able to tell you that you can't be shit if you're a 4x premiership player and a Norm Smith medallist, because if you've been selected in 5 grand final teams and were judged best on ground in one of them, you've gotta be a bloody good player. In summary, is Cyril overrated? Shit yeah, is Cyril bad? **** no, always been a key player for Hawthorn since he first came into the competition and often stands up when his team needs him.

Reigning premiership captain kicked to the curb just days after winning a flag -



Then to add insult to injury, son of premiership captain thrown in the gutter -



And another favourite son also unceremoniously kicked to the curb -



Exactly how long have you been following your club..? o_O:huh:
