Dermott Brereton saying Chad isn't even in the same breath as Rioli. Yeah it's because Chad is miles ahead. God I hope he is taking the kids but I don't think he is.

Brad Johnson says that this game could decide who is in the forward pocket in the All-Australian team. Chad's 2015 >>>>>>>>>>>>> Cyril's 2015.

These media personalities need to take their Victorian glasses off every now and again.
That's alright Cyril in the pocket and Chad on the HFF. F

FFS how hard is it to pick 2 KPF's, 3 small forwards who actually play in the forwards line, not squeeze in a mid fielder and the other spot is either another KPF or a tall. stick your excess mids on the bench

Wingard overtook Rioli in his second season.

Rioli will never win an AFL best and fairest, he finishes off other players good work whereas Wingard has the ability to say "**** it" and do everything himself.
Even our old mate Gerard Whately is falling into the hype labelling him the best 12 disposal, 3 goal player ever. I don't know about you but I would prefer Chad's 18 disposals, 3-4 goals and 8 clearances.

Can't believe the 'experts' are even talking about the possibility of Chad losing his AA spot to Cyrrrrrill on the back of one game against a team he reguarly tears apart, like REH said there's room for both but I'd be picking Betts > Rioli for the other spot.

Wingard vs Rioli 2015 stats would indicate one is a gun icing on the cake pressure small forward, the other is the complete package & easily the best mid/fwd this year. All that looks even more impressive given how drastically different their respective sides have performed this season.

Rioli kicks 3 goals about 3 times a year. 4 this year when his team has kicked 15, 19, 23 and 24 goals.
Wingard has 3 nine times this year.

Cyril to have 15 clearances and kick 15 goals from 100 possessions then?!

Is it worth getting one's knickers in a knot over Cyril? He's an exceptional, damaging three-time premiership winner who applies ferocious forward pressure and kicks and creates goals. Only a select few Hawthorn boosters would take him over Chad, who is objectively better. I don't see any mass groundswell that supports the opposite.

No. I just like to point out people's stupidity. Anyway is there much harm in having a discussion about it?

What is going to get us excited for the rest of the season? I'm just interested in what other footy fans want to see. Magpies winning a flag? Blooding some new youngsters in the seniors? A smokey getting far in the finals? Getting the rods out and forgetting about footy?

NUFC, YES.
I'm watching League Teams as we speak and it's a Cyril jizzfest. Derm actually referred to Cyril as football porn.

Johnno did say at the same point in their careers that Chad would be better. Please. 4 years into his career, he's already better. Vics, I tell ya.
Just saw it.

If they'd had the same careers in switched guernseys Rioli would be Michael Walters and Chad would already have one foot in the Hall of Fame.

Chad's 18 disposals means that he can't be the leader in the exclusive 12-3 Club and must accept his role as the best 18-3 forward in the league...

lel. Barrett getting rekt.

That said - this could be coming from the players outside the 'cool group'. There is a reason no one wants to stay at Brisbane, and it's easy to see that there is a group there that party hard and footy is secondary. Funnily enough, Zorko, Rockliff and Beams all fit the criteria.

No one named Dayne Zorko is in any cool groups
