Cyril Rioli - underachiever?

[El Dubya]

We all know Lloyd is a massive tool, but he brings up an interesting point here, Rioli has talent to burn but just doesn't use it.

Yes, he's had injuries, but so did Steve Johnson and he managed to have a far greater impact than Rioli, even while he played exclusively as a lazy half forward.

Why do Hawks fans get so excited by him, he's not even in the top ten players at your club? I can honestly say that Hodge, Mitchell, Roughead, Burgoyne, Breust, Birchall, Gibson, Lake, Lewis, Gunston and Hale are all significantly more valuable players than Rioli. I understand how kids get excited by his freakish moments, but we're grown ups on Big Footy, we know it's the accurate kicking and ferocious competitiveness that make Hawthorn the great team they are, not silky cameos.

This shouldn't even be on bay 13. It's not trolling, it's just truth!

 

[Tank Girl]

Lloyd still sniping Hawthorn players even after he has retired

 

[Nomore4s]

Even though I love Rioli and am glad he plays for the Hawks I have to agree with Lloyd.

Until Rioli delivers on a more consistent basis and especially in big games he probably has failed to live up to his full potential but he is still a pretty handy player to have in the team.

Wow what a break through topic. I can't believe it hasn't been discussed before

It's Bay 13 because a Matthew Lloyd article prompted it, he doesn't have the credentials to deserve main board billing.

Did you not see the game on Monday? Despite some horror mistakes Stevie J absolutely dominated and Cyril Rioli did absolutely nothing.

 

[I Rock]

How can you under achieve if all it takes is two lace out passes a week and the odd side step for the football media to praise you as a phenomenon. I would suggest the bar has been set so low for Cyril there is no way he can not succeed.

And they reckon EFC fans are deluded

Your views are biased, your desires to taste johnsons butt crack sweat blur your visions.

Steve Johnson was handy behind the wheel of a V8 Supercar, but I don't think it's fair that his football ability be compared to that of an AFL player.

Oh you've gone way past deluded. Extermination is now the only option.

At least I have the av VJ - while you have.... Senility?

Glad to see you trumpeting a 4 goal win in the magoos, cuts so deep

 

[Packedlunch]

Agree.....Lloyd is a flog

 

[HawkHeaven]

No articles from silly Matty about Hurley not fulfilling his potential.

I am shocked.

Your board seems cut up about it.......or so I'm told.

About a VFL loss? Missing a vast number of AFL listed players?

As is the norm, you seem to be misinformed. Did you see the game VJ? I was there - I did see an old, toothless, ragged looking coot struggling to contain a young child, couldn't have been older than 5.

Kinda reminded me of you for some reason

And you didn't come and say hello ?
How antisocial have dons fans become ? It's like they're insular these days.
It's how the world deals with total campaigners I suspect.

I have always made a conscious effort to not be seen associating with the dregs of society VJ, you should be used to being shunned at your age

Cyril '7 touches' rioli is twice the player johnson is.
