I was watching Cyril Rioli on Friday night and pointed out to tigersnake, that given that black fellas kinship is totally different to white fellas, shouldnt we have an uncle/nephew rule? Cyril was BOG and has got it all, including the rising star in the bag. I reckon he'll get himself a couple of Norm Smiths before hes done. What pick was he and why didnt Maurice tell us about him?

Then he'd end up at Essendon.

Its only a silly hypothetical dip of my hat to Cyril's ability, but for the record BT

'Cyril Rioli is the nephew of former Richmond great and 1982 Norm Smith medallist Maurice Rioli and former Essendon stars Dean Rioli and Michael Long.'
 
Why stop there - we could have the Good-Neighbour Pick, or the Sat-Next-To-TonyFree-On-The-Plane Pick. Let's milk these picks......... ;D
