In a thread like this.
What you do, is to ignore the votes and comments from the affiliated clubs.

And all the Neutrals are voting for Cyril.

There is the answer.

Edit, With special mention to Brisbane Supporter Bucking Beads , who also voted for Cyril

Is it? It’s an opinion poll, it’s not a scientifically binding outcome.

Cyril Rioli was an amazing player.
He also played his whole career in one of the best teams in modern footy, and retired before he had time to decline.

Eddie Betts spent most of his career in mediocre to atrocious teams with a bit of a stint in a good one. He had better attacking output than Rioli and is the all time leader in AFL history for goal assists.

He isn’t the defensive presence that Rioli is, but in finals he actually had the same tackle numbers as Rioli and his goal and assist output went UP, suggesting two things - basically that in better sides he probably would have had even better numbers (and his numbers are already outstanding but they go up a notch in the years he had good teams to play in) and that he lifted in finals which is always a mark that Rioli is graded on highly.


Had he not played those last two seasons with Carlton his overall career record would look even better.

I don’t think it’s as clear cut as what is being made out.

Geez, you're really doing Cameron a disservice here. A brilliant footballer, but nowhere near the other two.

Any club would love to have any of them but Rioli and Betts are ahead of Cameron.

It is hard to compare based on stats alone given Rioli played more mid time and Betts played for teams that were pretty poor. Overall would put Betts slightly ahead as the better and more consistent fp who could still do the amazing
