Cyril Rioli Grand Final tackle

[cozasports33]

i go 4 geelong but great tackle cyril and max... just cause he is little does mean you can leev him in the dust

[damosimo11]

One of the many dreadful calls that day

[nugzyss]

thats just one of the most amazing efforts i have ever seen.... i agree with what one of the people commented down there, it was this moment where i knew the hawks were going to win, media next day said it was stuart dew that got the hawks going...bullshit, cyrils tackling effort and goal a couple of minutes later got the hawks believeing

[holl01]

intense stuff, grand finals are so good to watch, every player is just going all in fearlessly.

[zenmoon3]

I was sitting right in front of where Rioli executed that brilliance. It was the moment when you knew the Hawks had them.

[STONECOLDROCKS123]

thats what wins games

[TheHodgey08]

my brother from another mother.

[rossesc]

@TheHodgey08 uh no

[croady24]

Fantastic stuff.

[craigis123]

he's very delicious.

[darijoe]

We would enjoy it much more if the frame rate was higher.

[fizzaman7]

he is a fuken freakk

[cckrusty]

he's delicious.

[jako2918]

2nd effort pfffft, more like 3rd 4th 5th 6th and 7th effort boy, rioli is a fucking gun boy, go the hawks.

[harshvgaus]

he's going to be a monster player. only geniuses do that at any age, let alone 19

[sewelldog69]

SUPERSTAR!!!

[billyblanx]

free to enright u reckon.. a poofty geelong supporter are ya? great work from rioli to be honest

[4f7u6c1k]

that was a free to Enright.

anybody can see that.

[hhfcforever]

blind dickhead

[idliketoseethat]

LOL no free there.

[11scottjw]

u tool

[fabl1980]

@4f7u6c1k Enright free kick? You douche bag.

[Roddrummer]

Grand Final turning moment from a teenager in his first year at the top level. A-mazing!

[twinky075]

yep totally agree with ya on that. definetely THE TURNING POINT

[Roddrummer]

Like Bucks said later, it made the Hawks BELIEVE!

[spavds]

Think bruce summed it up perfectly when he said "you just can't teach that, it's natural instinct". He wouldn't care about the rising star, he got something Palmer won't get for a bit if he stays at Freo.

[Epicrisa]

thats cos he got lucky and got picked up by a good team. palmer deserved rising star even though he's not going to get a premiership for a while.

[wellerazorlight]

cyril rioli is a far better player than palmer

[Epicrisa]

no way, rioli is a good player. but he got no respect from opposition teams because of the of the stars from hawthorn that they had too concentrate on stopping so he played under the radar. Palmer was racking up big numbers, influencing games, even though he copped a hard tag every week because of freos lack of good midfielders.

[xb4n4n4x]

i agree

[raff23]

oh please rioli is 10 times the footballer palmer is, he cant kick for shit and the only reason he racked up big numbers is because they knew he had shit disposal so they let him go, how many junk possies did he get? rioli hardly ever has junk possies.

[lidda44]

your a fuckin loser. go fuck yourself. do you know anything fuck head.

you have the IQ of a monkey.

fuck you

[Epicrisa]

great work mate, showing the world that it is in fact you who have the IQ of a monkey.

[05011991]

i would seriously love rioli at the kangaroos, i would have him alongside with wells, what a midfield that would be

[moedty21]

superstar, we didnt need to draft another 30 something meaningless touches midfielder, instead we got Junior Boy who wins a grand final with 10 of the most devastating touches ever witnessed

[RiChMoNdYoUbEaUtY]

that effort by rioli got hawthorn fired up and won them the game!

[longy5]

i played with this kid and fuck he's amazing

[trashfilme]

love to see rhys palmer do that!

[zomeza123]

yeah same he wouldn't be able to

[jwatsontas]

I talk regularly to Hawthorn great Peter Hudson's father 'Bob', and he thinks this kid could be one of the best in the country in the near future. Cyril's determination on GF day was one of the driving forces behind this win. Absolutely inspirational play.

[gammu22]

1 thing the geelong players didn't have hunger for the ball

[izobealliia]

one word: GUN

[nikko032]

who cares that he didnt win the rising star! he won the flag!

[phizer666]

Thats the play that won the flag for the Hawks. He was my pick for the Norm Smith medal as well; he played inspired footy. That tackle, the crumbing goal off the long kick by Dewie, and the centre bounce free kick, when he was the only one who wanted the ball. A gun player, who will only get better! That's what I'm talking about.

[jackoejacko]

The look from the coach pretty much says it all - "Yes, this guy is going to play every game next year too". What a gun!

[ozhicman]

the fact that he didn't win the rising star is a joke!

go hawks

[idliketoseethat]

Any other year apart from maybe last year and this year, he would have.

[nvoya1]

that's what i'm talking about
