With all the talk of reviving Harley Bennell’s controversial and injury-riddled career after only 2 games in the last four seasons, why not look at Cyril? 

Turned 30 earlier this year and yesterday, on his comeback at NTFL level, he booted the winning goal for the Tiwi Bombers. Perhaps his Bomber teammate Austin Wonamaerri or Palmerston Magpies opponent Aaron Davey could convince him to make the move back south?

Fairytale finish for Cyril's footy comeback in the NT

    You could have gone on.

    Cyril Rioli: 4 premierships

    Jeff Garlett: 0 premierships

    Jeff got most of those goals as the last man in a chain.

    Cyril invented his goals out of nothing, plus he gave away plenty.

    Jeff's a seagull, Cyril is a jet.

    Cyril has retired.  Why a thread?

    Possibly because that “retired” player took part in a game of football less than 24 hours ago and, at the age of 30, it’s not inconceivable that someone that age might be convinced to make a comeback?

    Fair enough.  Not inconcievable..

    Never understood  the 'overrated' calls - you'd never find a hawks supporter who thinks so. One of my absolute favourite non-demons to watch, even though he tore us to shreds a few times. That said, I reckon the chances of an AFL return next year are about on par with Jurrah.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
