ABOUT CYRIL 

Enjoyed a close-to-perfect debut season, playing every game as a dangerous and skilful small forward with stints on the ball. Reads the play superbly, has pace, exquisite skills and is deadly near goal. Second in the NAB AFL Rising Star award, sixth in the best and fairest and named the club’s best first-year player. Nephew of Maurice Rioli and Michael Long.

Draft history: 2007 NAB AFL Draft 1st round selection (Hawthorn) No. 12 overall.
