Dermie's favourite Rioli moments

[@joshuaryan1125]

The greatest comment in AFL history. "You don't sell candy to the candy man." Rest in power Danny Frawley.

[@davidtoohey1147]

Thanks for pointing that out - I chuckled at the great comment while I was watching, but I hadn't realised it was Danny until I read this.

[@degenmoney1857]

Chills mate funny thing is I was telling the misses that you don’t sell candy to the candy man then the man himself said it 😂😂

[@ezyroller]

what a privilege to be able to watch this bloke play footy for Hawthorn. Watching these highlights you get the feeling he's possibly the best ever.

[@firstnamelastname1500]

ezyroller naaah there has been better

[@kavindaaa]

he was the best ever. No other player could have 5 touches in a game and be as influential

[@joshuaryan1125]

Yep

[@kaisneakerdeals]

Agreed

[@Biscuitabuse]

Never an accumulator, every possession was a masterpiece, never seen anyone work in tight spaces with such skill, power and grace. Forever Cyril .

[@This_RuthIsOnFire]

The man played football like it was poetry.

[@Pullyaheadin92]

He actually tackles like a lion catching a feed Cyril is a beast! Epic

[@Blurdage]

Shame we only got 189 Games out of him. He was a joy to watch

[@kaisneakerdeals]

Cyril is my favourite player of all time. He just did things that no other player has ever done in the AFL. It’s sad to see him retire but it happens with all afl players.

[@anastasiostapsas9902]

Stalked like a cheetah, ran like an impala, flew like an eagle, evaded like the wind. This man could do it all. An ultimate magician with endless abilities.

[@elliaisaacs]

I can watch this over and over again. I'm so glad I got watch his first game and live to see his last game with hawks! Also what an era for the Hawks in these vid... Cyril Buddy Gibbo Lake Sam Mitchell Luke Hodge Lewis Roughy... The list is endless

I still miss him. Still remember his game play like it was yesterday. He was amazing!

[@geletmote]

2:11 look at the ball kids reaction behind the goal.. HAHA

[@michaelmarshall1713]

WE have and will miss him and his Black Magic!

[@somerandomdude268]

To think the genius of this man only got goal of the year once, he was definitely up there with the most magical magicians. What a legend he was for the Hawks, God bless him and hope he’s having a great time in retirement.

[@htran0432248924]

Needed some inspiration during CoVID lockdown... instantly inspired

12:02 lmao 🤣 kane cornes. What a spud he was

[@reececurphey3623]

Man this bloke is my idol for real

[@coldark9972]

Fuck i miss watching him play there will never be another

[@matthewcooper3877]

One of a kind .... Cyril ⭐💯

[@richardm7181]

What a true star

[@jeffreycooper1336]

A pure legend and master craftsman

[@davidtoohey1147]

I sense an insight into his skills during the intercept played in slow mo at 6:11, his eyes have settled on 8 distinct options in more than 180 degrees of neck rotation in what was probably 3 seconds of play in real time. Skills is one thing but also reading the play to anticipate and to produce the best play for the team. You could expect Cyril could have only 10 possessions in a game, but remember how damaging they were.

[@RileyThorpVlogs]

It’s an amazing feelen seeing how many hawk fans there are

[@pauljenkinson2827]

And this highlights package has none of the 1% stuff he did, I’ve never seen a player positively influence 50/50 contests as consistently as Cyril did, little nudges, taps, knock ons bumps etc always to our advantage - he was a freak, the most enjoyable hawk I’ve watched

[@jackjo2377]

Cyril is my cousin

[@kavindaaa]

Well you're related to the maddest of dawgs to have ever played AFL brother

[@marnuscoreyempanadaslooseb6760]

Definitely with a name like Jack jo lol stop lying but if you aren’t you are a lucky bloke

[@aussiethelocossi7027]

We go for the Hawks ☺☺☺

[@water8635]

What a player, incredible athlete as well

[@dawgwithabone6826]

My two faves are, "you can't sell candy to the Candy man* "This kid has adapted to the pace & intensity really quickly" WRONG!! Cyril set the pace & intensity for all others.

[@donherley1811]

Correct! Cyril set a new pace.

[@jude305]

I have this recorded on Foxtel

Can’t believe they didn’t include Cyril’s goal to win the game vs the swans in Sydney

[@VisionToWinYT]

GO THE HAWKS

[@sammy_dog]

well the footys back but watchin my hawks wont be the same without Jr boy my favourite comment from spud frawley " you dont sell candy to the candyman" pure gold

[@firstnamelastname1500]

Sammy Dog rip spud

[@jeffreycooper1336]

The magician, may always rein

[@cryptic6917]

I’m not a hawks supporter but seriously any key forward would love to have Cyril crumbing for them, he’s a magician.

[@ajkraz9855]

It'll take some time before anyone comes close to Cyril. Not only a Hawks fan am I lucky, but also as a footy fan in general to have followed footy whilst he was playing. Come back Cyril!

[@jerseyforhawks]

Please 🙏.

[@tommygunrz]

Rioli is one of those players who dont need a lot of touches to influence a game

[@shanewall4470]

"You don't take on Rioli. You just don't" ~ Dennis Cometti in commentary (May not be his exact words)

[@mrporkchop-lx6ed]

The best!!!!!!!!!!!!

12:44, who else is doing that

[@MasterDoncs]

GO HAWKS YAY

[@jazalessandro3094]

Delicious 😂🙌

[@cammorgan7849]

4:40 I've never seen someone execute a tackle like that

[@jimmyriddle5246]

I reckon the smartest thing he used to do while tackling was to lift his legs off the ground so that whoever he tackled was also carrying all of Cyril's weight. Very clever, great technique but it also helps when you have a vice like grip like he did.

[@VenusSnow23]

Cyrup Rioli. Because he's that sweet to watch

[@justintilmouth2517]

[@xkanga6524]

I wish Hawthorn were like this in 2020

[@clarksonklopp7078]

"You'd pay to see him train." Wow

[@donherley1811]

It is my view that Cyril is the best indigenous player to have ever played the game. I know this will draw comment but he played at a speed that was unrivalled. His thinking was lightning fast and he could perform all facets and skills of the game with apparent ease. I'm not even a Hawks fan but always loved watching Cyril. He is the Pele of Australian Rules Football.

[@mabiorcholappreciationpage]

Cyril wouldn't even hold a candle to his uncle Maurice

[@donherley1811]

@@mabiorcholappreciationpage Can't agree there. Cyril is even the best Riolli to have ever played ... and that's saying something.

[@mabiorcholappreciationpage]

@@donherley1811 you obviously never saw Maurice Rioli in action. Quite easily the best Rioli and Indigenous player ever

[@donherley1811]

@@mabiorcholappreciationpage Can't agree there. I'm a 64 yo west aussie ... probably saw Maurice play before you did for South Freo. Cyril still the best.

[@480bc9]

We were all privileged and lucky to have seen him play live…

[@357HFC]

Loved Cyril, 10-12 good touches, Hawks win, super player. His uncle Maurice, was better. Yep I said that. Have a look at Maurice, you will know where Cyril got it. Its in the genes Cyril, Snr, Snr. Godfather of a dynasty.

[@tahliataylor]

Maurice was good, but cyril is just better.

[@357HFC]

@@tahliataylor you must be too young to have seen Maurice.

[@PhilipShand]

The Hawthorn team of this era was a great one,but often the difference between them being very good & great was....... we had a CYRIL ! ! This man was on another planet.So often he seemed to be doing nothing when,suddenly,thered be a handpass from nowhere or a short kick or an impossible mark for a man his size. It was always Cyril. A quiet game from him always turned the match & when he was "on" everyone just watched in awe as he took a game from his opponents. Just ........CYRIL. Sadly players like him are generational. I was lucky to have been in the generation that had Cyril Rioli. I won't live to see another like him. There is a large Rioli family of footballers all through the AFL world & a commentator once yelled "And Rioli does what Riolis dooo......." Genetics ? maybe,but Cyril was the best if them all.No contest.

[@firstnamelastname1500]

It’s funny seeing dermie looking neat

[@donherley1811]

At 10:22 it really could have been a kick against Cyril for a hand on the opponents shoulder in the marking attempt. Don't get me wrong .... I'm a massive Cyril fan, too.
