That's a very interesting theory to hold the very year after Cyril Rioli wins the Norm Smith in the winning side.
Quality players win Clubs premierships.
Michael Walters is BigTime and i would love him in ANY side. And just quietly, i'd have a fiver on him for the Norm Smith in a GF.
So how much impact did Cyril have against the Eagles last night?
13 possessions, 8 tackles and 0.0 score.
Eagles 18 contested marks Hawks 2.
Hawks closest player to a KP tall is Gunston and they are quickly coming back to pack without Roughead, Lake, Hale and Stratton providing size and structure.
Cyril is the cherry on top of the cake.
