Cyril would have kicked about 40+ goals this year if he didn't go missing in so many games...Considering he gets quite a few assist aswell it's not that bad.

How dare you speak with common sense!Funny how people can call Rioli and Naitanui overrated. Surely all the hype is they are just young players showing a ton of potential. They are not rated, particularly not Naitanui. They are never talked about in with the top players of the game. Overrated - They are not. Exciting - Yes they are.
There is a difference.
My Top 10
3.Watts - Got plenty of accolades for his improvement last year yet was playing a soft role accross half back instead of getting valuable KP development time in a Melbourne side that didn't have many KP forwards.
5.Zeibell - Gets talked up a lot by North supporters as a superstar. He will be a good player but when i watch him i just see him reaching those heights

Rioli is moreso overrated by Hawthorn supporters than the media, make of that what you will.
Yet if he was playing for the Dees he'd be Captain.
Make of that what you will.
He and NicNat have the most upsaide and athletic prowess of all young players in the comp, this is why they are hyped.
Come on Dona they just named two 20 yr olds with less than 100 games between them, as if Cyril wouldn't have been a chance.No he wouldn't. Why even throw that out there?

Probably got on my goat a little as the supporters do get excited when he gets the ball but wouldn't you? Bruce probably pumps him up a little to much.You said it matter of fact. He might have been a slight chance, but Cyril doesn't really show much leadership, Grimes and Trengove do. You're just potting at the Melbourne players because someone called Cyril over rated.
5. Lindsay Thomas - too inconsistant, has a big bag against a bottom 8 side and goes missing when it counts
Thought i might have a crack:
5. Dyson Heppell - he is a decent player but mike sheahan has put him in the top 50 and he was put up as one of essendons 3 nominees for MVP. Hasnt had the experience yet to be a top quality player and in a few more years he could be a terrific backman.
4. Jake King - he is a hard nut but his footy skills do not live up to his reputation. he doesnt do game-breaking things that he needs to do and barely racks up more than 20 touches.
I have included a lot of young players but i think that they are all rated way too highly for their skill and ability

for this statement made you sir are n complete dingbat
First of all Sheahan didnt put Hepell in his top 50 and he is going to be a midfielder
Jake King is barely rated at all and just seems like an honest battler
1. Chris Dawes - he is huge, and like Tippett should be using his size to full advantage but he doesnt. should be at least a 35+ goalkicker but consistently doesnt produce.
He played the first 12 fit & healthy, and only kicked 21 (1.75 a game). For a 25 game, full finals campaign season, that gets him to low 40s.He kicked 27 goals last year, despite only playing 18 games. He missed 7 games leading into the finals, which really ruined his season. If he can have a full season, he should kick 50 goals.

This time last year he was Cloke, Ablett, Jesus, sliced bread and the wheel all rolled into one.
Personally I very much doubt he'll be more than a 40 goal player, at least while Cloke's still there. Good, and certainly important, but just not *that* good.
Football misconception number#1 right here. Just because someone comes into the system with a body that is far more mature than your average pick 32 long term draft prospect does not mean that they do not have a lot of improvement left in them. To be able to hit targets at angles, handle pressure situations, become more defensively accountable and most importantly, run out games of football consistently, take years and years of development even for kids the size of Dusty. He's ahead in development but has a lot of improvement left in him prior to his arrival as an elite midfielder. Richmond fans should be frothing at the bit.IMO he is one of those players who enters the AFL with a developed body and everything and I don't think there is that much improvement left in him
