Stephen Hill v Cyril Rioli

[robertg22]

wonder if any of the people who voted for rioli before the brisbane game would like to change their mind now?

You'd hope not, these are 19/20 year old kids who have 10+ years of footy left in them, I don't think we're using their week to week performance to rate them on their future potential..

hill is what the media claim rioli to be

Delicious?

 

[skelly12]

Excellent comparison.

I love Hill's penetrating kick, probably the only way i'd separate the two.

Hill by a whisker

Rioli.

Love Hill, but Rioli should he ever build the tank will be the best player in the comp.

I've not even seen enough games of Freo's to make a judgement on Hill, but I'd not give Rioli up for anyone in the comp.

Should be rested this week and given a chance to get himself fit.
Hopefully in 2011 we can see more of him in the middle, because at the moment his efforts are being reduced by the poor preseason he had and the continuing groin complaint( Op? or not).

If Rioli gets his fitness to Ablett level he'll be like Ablett. But I doubt this will happen.

Hill is a speed demon but with a raking accurate kick... how often does that happen

 

[druid11]

the obvious choice is hill only hawks supporters would take rioli......

Agreed diablo........ i have been telling people all season and most of last he is Andrew Mcleod but he works both ways.
He could win a Brownlow within 3 years if he keeps progressing.

Unfortunately for Stephen he was born in the same year as a bloke by the name of Nic Naitanui who'll win every brownlow on offer for about the next 7 or 8 years. You gotta feel sorry for him in that regard.

Tell me someting. Who was the last person to win a Brownlow from a bottom 4 side?

Don't worry, I'll wait.......

I would go with Hill purely because he has shown he can run out entire games in the midfield.

 

[Desmodromico]

Hill has exceeded my expectations. I think he is a good player that still has a lot of upside.

Rioli is not 100% fit at the moment. I think Rioli has more skill and will be the better player over the distance.
