Cyril Rioli - underachiever?

[HawkHeaven]

Every six weeks be nice if he could do something like that every week

It would also be nice if Selwood did not duck his head and beg for free kicks.

Please show me one clip of Selwood "ducking his head" to get a free kick

You don't watch your team play?

Shame on you !!

PS Another very powerful display by Junior Boy.

Cyril up and about.

Must have been a 10 goal win.

Yeah, because he has never dragged us over the line when we have been in a hole before. Keep swinging.

 

[MrFujiMoto]

I look forward to seeing Cyril make Lumumba or whatever his name happens to be this week, look like a little bitch in front of 75,000 people again, as is his want whenever we face your rabble.

Is his name Hererertiererererer....or.... hererereretierer...or... LaBumba oh f*ck it, we all know his real name is .... Harry Oooooo Shit, not Cyril again

Cyril Rioli is the Johnny Depp of the AFL. Looks good, lots of buzz around him, but only has 1 good performance in between lots of crap.

WTF? Your reply is to a post I made in another thread that was posted 12 years ago. Why is your reply in this thread?

No idea, probably a glitch in the Tapatalk app.

No one is saying delist him. Just that he is massively overrated. Like Johnny Depp.

Take out the massive Tassie wins and his stats are worse than Nahas.

Sounds more like he is underrated is you're saying he is overrated, given his performances which are outstanding both this year and over his career.

77% efficiency with such a high contested ball ratio is particularly amazing, especially since Rioli plays in the forward third of the ground. I don't think there are many football fans who appreciate this stat combination, too fixated on kicks, marks and handballs.

 

[SpangherHanger]

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.

You've got to be joking. Those guys are good but in terms of their value to the side almost none of them compare to Rioli. He's won us about three games this year. Out of the guys you listed I'd say Mitchell and probably Hodge add more to the side in terms of raw value, Gibson's absence is felt more because we lack those defenders, and Gunston has the potential to be more valuable but hasn't reached it yet. Other than that they're all replaceable.

You can't replace the ability to snag goals out of nothing, take high marks, chase down any player and tackle guys like Dustin Martin to the ground. You watch Cyril play and his presence alone stops the run of the opposition because they know he's the hardest player in the comp to take on. Hawthorn win without him because we're a good team, but we're a much better side with him in it.

The best contested players average nearly as many contested possessions per game as Rioli-Depp averages in total disposals

That has nothing to do with what I said, which was the combination of high contested ratios and elite ball use in the forward third of the ground. That combination is elite, is not singular in the competiton.

There's a bunch of guys averaging more contested touches than Rioli this year who are going at around 77% or better. Plus Rioli doesn't spend ALL his time in forward 50 and therefore isn't getting ALL his contested ball in the forward 50.

Irrelevant, was discussing the combination of contested possession ratios. These are what determines how much of a player's total possession count are contested, and what ultimately can affect disposal effective percentages.

Plus Rioli doesn't spend ALL his time in forward 50 .

Big deal, he's a forward third player about 90% of the time. Stop grasping at straws.

He's not a midfielder, he's playing in the forward line.

Yeah but if you have 10 possessions and 5 are contested it sounds good to say you had 50% contested possession but the reality is still that you had 5 contested possessions. There's multiple guys who get far more contested ball than Rioli and do it with the same/better efficiency.

Big deal, he's a forward third player about 90% of the time. Stop grasping at straws.

He spends 90% of his time in the forward 50? You must be thinking of Milne. He retired.

I can't do that dude because I am too busy pissing myself laughing at your username.

Oh I thought by now he was going to be a super midfield like Ablett Jnr..

 

[chefmeister]

So what happened to his breakout year in the midfield? Didn't quite work out or what? Tank too small?

 

[hench]

Lloyd still sniping Hawthorn players even after he has retired
