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

I was at the round 18 game and I thought after that we had their measure.

We have reamed them ever since the 2012 GF, except 1 game when we were decimated with injury.

The whole footy world did not give the Hawks any credit going into the GF week, I think it steeled the Hawks to show not only the COLA who was boss but the entire footy world.

All we had to do was contain Buddy, because I saw that night in round 18 that our mids could match theirs and our backline was better than theirs.
Yep but I didn't pay enough attention to all that and underestimated your desire for 2012 revenge. Your team played very, very well. Great coaching by Clarko. Overcame real adversity during the year. But Swans did put in a shocker. 2008 we stuffed up with poor kicking etc but we weren't embarrassing like Swans were-so feel glad about that!
Be interesting to see if Swans can rebound-doubtful after such ignominious display.

I can see through to you apparent sadness far better than you can conjure mine into reality out of wishful thinking.

So how are things at your mob, mate? Can't see who you barrack for coz I'm on tapatalk but I'm guessing...
Geelong?
Life's good. Cats are doing way better then I expected. But Dawks win and the whinging continues .. Don't get it.

Mean to Rioli. We all love Rioli but he is the most overrated hack around. If he wasn't so overrated this thread would not exist. Can't defend the truth.

Bullshit. Who voted on that? Young was way worse. Rioli is the Shane Woewodin of the Davis.
If you didn't vote then your opinion now is irrelevant to the result. The masses have already spoken...
Why bother?

It's the theme of the bay to WUM us with Rioli-related crap. Meanwhile he's won 3 Premierships in his 7 seasons, and every single Coach bar none would take him in an instant.

But of course, the uneducated pillocks on the bay know best!
His achievements from other games and what coaches think aside, he is still not excused for putting in a stinker to claim his first Neon medal.
People are only human, people make mistakes, people can have a bad game from time to time.

2012 Leon Davis Medalist = Cyrily Rioli.

lulz. As pointed out there were worse players on the ground than Rioli that day.

Anyway I'm sure he can place his imaginary BF medal alongside his three tangible premiership medals.

Hey man don't shoot the messenger.
You guys asked for the roof and got it knowing full well the bay can be a very unforgiving place sometimes...:(

2012 Leon Davis Medalist = #33, Mr Delicious.

He didn't play well, but about 3 of our players did. Give or take 1. Probably take.
There is no way he was the Hawthorn player to contribute most to the loss. Without these threads and their barely explicable popularity, he wouldn't have even been in contention.

2012 Davis medal distribution was botched.
