Cyril Rioli Retires

[Wedgie]

I'll miss his 23% win rate against Geelong.

For some reason Cyril rarely played well against the Cats.

Except in games between the two sides that mattered.

His performance on GF day in 2008 isn't justified on the stat sheet.

He did score 2 goals as opposed to his normal 1 goal against us but yeah, 10 possessions, wasn't outstanding, there was a lot better players that day.
Clarkson BOG that day by a mile.

Don't get me wrong, great player but never turned it on against us, usually went missing and as I mainly watch Geelong games I'll never hold him that high, I prefer watching Betts in full flight.
Cyril's not alone, Buddy rarely plays an awesome game against us too.

Exactly. Seriously overrated footballer but good to watch when he turned it on. Buddy a much better player of course it's just we normally match up well on him thank you Tom Lonergan in particular.

Everybody saying he's overrated ask yourself the question.

Would he be in your clubs best 22?
If you answered no you are kidding yourself.

I said for years I’d prefer his 15 touches rather than Kane Cornes having 35

i agree, however someone's gotta get it down there.

I still think Betts is a better forward, but clearly Rioli played in a better team.
