1.Cyril Rioli (Hawthorn)
Games: 175
Goals: 262
“I couldn’t go past Cyril,” Brown said when ranking Rioli as the game's best small forward of the past 16 years.
“He’s got the premierships — the four premierships, mind you — and it is very difficult for small forwards to play well in big games and grand finals.
“Small forwards have a poor record (in those) and Rioli has a Norm Smith medal so that tips him over the edge.”
4 PREMIERSHIPS AND A Norm Smith says it all ……Delicious!
