We usually had Corey Enright to nullify Cyril.
But it's still Cyril, in that company.

They had some good battles.

Think Cyril dropped six on him one time.
 
Not to dispute most of your points because they’re all true but Betts himself is ranked #1 all time in AFL history since the stat was recorded for dishing goals off to his teammates. He was fractionally behind Rioli for average per game but it’s not a major point of difference between the two. And Rioli had some pretty decent forward mates to spot-up
There were alot of other things Rioli did not on the stat sheet. Smothers, inferred pressure, forcing a neutral ball from an unwinnable position in a contest, knock ons to advantage to teammates etc. This happened weekly. Was amazingly strong for his size. Some of these don't go down as goal assists because your not gaining possession but it certainly helped us to score. Enright had it right when he labelled Cyril the hardest opponent to play against because he could get you in many different ways. Shows the elite ability of Corey that he was able to nullify him so often.

Can’t dispute any of that.
