Training 2024 Preseason reports and discussion

[matey]

Well, at least that's a step in the right direction...


(Please come back into the fold, Cyril )

Still hurts after he called it quits one of my all time favourites. Only a few players in my lifetime that regularly got me off my seat when near the footy and I’ve seen some good ones ….. he was one

I was like Dermie...just giggling watching him.

Also this. Very strange posts but you know what they say where’s the smoke there’s fire

If Ciz came back in ANY capacity that would be a magnificent win for club and fans alike

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[SSSSSS]

Jnr warming up to the Hawks again is a win no matter what capacity. He's always family.

 

[Baz_hawk]

You wouldn't find a hawk fan anywhere in the world that wouldn't have loved reading this. Cyril is a Hawthorn legend, having him back at the club in some capacity would be amazing. Brought so many people to the footy just to see him make great players look foolish.

Cyril Rioli has sent AFL supporters into a frenzy

Sure, Superfooty...sure...

Just helicopter him down for one game at the end of the year when we need to win to make the finals ala Huddo in 1973.
I was at that game, Huddo kicked a lazy eight, unfit and after doing his knee. He never moved more than ten metres from the goal square.

As Sam Kekovich says, "You know it makes sense".

Cyril would make the perfect sub to just pull off some freakish play late.

 

[peetoo]

Hammy's wouldn't last a qtr. But gee it'd be fun.

Heli ride in booked

 

[Sixpence]

Sam's and Sleepy Mark's phones would be going off at the moment!

 

[H00t]

Chol is the one. If he fires we will be very dangerous.

The big thing for Chol and us is keeping him involved in the game. If he’s providing an option and working hard the goals will come.

 

[TheFourPillars]

If he produces to his full potential Chol coujd almost be as good for us as Buddy was for Sydney.

He has the football and athletic talent.

If u truly believe this then i'm sorry you have no idea

 

[TheFourPillars]

Is Rioli talking about the issues with the club. Perhaps the courts?

 

[eldorado]

That was the other, less positive, interpretation, yes...

 

[Hodgey 15]

Is Rioli talking about the issues with the club. Perhaps the courts?

Maybe but a bit out of context with what was originally posted by Hawthorn Zone and also why reply at all.
For the record I don't think he's coming back at all. If anything he may be getting back involved with club as we enter a new era.

Or playing with Lions to win another or those who he has had issues with at the club are now gone ……..

 

[GinniAndTonic]

Won’t go to the lions with fages there

 

[Roddy]

JUH.

Would not surprise me for a second.

 

[Adebisi]

Has he ever had a game at AFL like that; where he's broken out?

Like a bog game mojo?

 

[I got the outside word]

Hammy's wouldn't last a qtr. But gee it'd be fun.

Super sub.

 

[GinniAndTonic]

There’s something in this.

 

[earthworms]

Off topic but could Cyril announce he's returning on xmas? Hinting at it on ig saying "I've got plenty left in me"

 

[rei154]

Remember a month or two back Quartermane posted about a favourite Hawk returning to the nest??
Would be insane if he came back as a mentor/got involved in our off-season

So that wasn't Gunston?
