You taking the p155. Most exciting player going around.


Has 10 touches, kicks 5 goals and gets BOG.

Dangerfield has 32 touches and burn 60% of them.

I'd have Rioli.

Danger has a better disposal efficiency this year than swan, wingard, ziebell, wines, Kennedy and franklin, and only slightly worse than Lewis, Martin, Steven bontempelli and Selwood. (Within a couple of percent)

So are you going to take Rioli over all of them, or are we going to get a bit of perspective here?

No, just Rioli over Dangerfield right at this point in time.

Nope, this was looking at Rioli v Dangerfield and at the moment I'd take Rioli.

If you want to compare Dangefield V Kennedy or any of the others you've mentioned I'm happy to give you my view.

Fair enough Boon. For another thread.

I was willing to give Mitchell the benefit of the doubt when he did it to Tex but this is the second time, for someone as smart as him it cant be accidental.

Anyone that's played a few minutes of football knows what Mitchell's intentions were and his completely transparent act in the post game interview gives it away. Not severe enough for any tribunal appearance, but a very unsportsmanlike couple of incidences for Mitchell.

It's no coincidence that he is one of the most unliked players in the league amongst players

Storm in a tea cup IMO, cant stand the buggers but Mitchell hasnt broken any rules. Until there is a rule brought in to stop it then its fair game

I'm sure they will soon. It got rife in the NRL years ago until they brought in the knee lifting rule

Well, that's why I said it wasn't tribunal worthy. Just a testament to his player character that he's done it twice in the space of a month.

I'd have Rioli.

Dangerfield's dozen clearances and dozen contested possessions beats Cyril's ten effective possessions.

It's a good contest. A mid who gets 30 or a forward who gets 10 and kicks 5?

Mids who get 30 = everywhere.

Forwards who have 10 and kick 5 = Not so much.

I'd have both, don't get me wrong.

Reckon Rioli in a worse team would look much worse.

I might get flamed for this, but you put Eddie Betts in the hawthorn team and it's possible he is spoken about in the same light.

If Cyril kicked 5 every week, then Cyril.
