CYRIL ANNOUNCES SHOCK RETIREMENT

Hawthorn four-time premiership player Cyril Rioli has made the decision to retire from AFL football, effective immediately.

Rioli, who travelled to Darwin last month to spend time with family, informed his teammates of his decision this morning.

“The decision to retire from football is something that I have thought long and hard about over the past 12 months. I’ve weighed everything up and I am confident the decision I’ve made is the right one for me and my family,” Rioli said.

“Football has been my life but it’s always been difficult being away from home. Now is the right time to go home and spend more time with friends and family.

“I love the Hawthorn Football Club and I cannot thank them enough for the opportunities they’ve given me and the way they’ve embraced me and my family over the past 11 years.

“I can walk away from the game having achieved everything I could have ever dreamed of and I’m forever grateful for the opportunities I have received.

“I’d like to thank the Hawthorn fans for all their support over the years, it has been an honour to play in front of you each week.

“I’d also like to thank my manager, Adam Ramanauskas from TLA Worldwide, for all the support he has have given my family and I throughout my career.

“Lastly, thank you to my wife Shannyn and all my family, whose support and sacrifice has made it possible for me to live out my childhood dream.

“I’ll always be a Hawthorn person and I look forward to seeing what the boys can achieve over the rest of the year and beyond.”

Was hoping he could squeeze out enough to get to 200, but that's me being selfish!

Brought me some of the greatest joy over the past 10 years.

JJ - 1.96 goals per game.... by SAFooty logic that makes hims twice the player that Cyril was ;)

I'm sure @Corona Man would agree.

Booney earlier rounded JJ's tackle average from 1.9 down to 1 to make a point so assumed that near enough was good enough?!

Either that or i was in and out of my desk too fast and misread the figure whilst trying to be a smart arse and f**@ed it up spectacularly?!

Personally, I like the use of my following Booney rounding down excuse a little more but i'll let you guys be the judge... ;) 8)
