HAWTHORN livewire Cyril Rioli was the only Hawk to poll votes from the coaches in Saturday’s loss to Melbourne at the MCG.
Rioli finished with 15 disposals, four goals and 12 tackles, as well as a spectacular Mark of the Year nomination.
Max Gawn was given a perfect 10 votes for his impressive game in the ruck, his second half described by Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson in his post-match press conference as “one of the best halves from a ruckman I’ve seen in a long time.”
Demon midfielder Jack Viney received eight votes for his 39-disposal game, while Dom Tyson and Nathan Jones also received a nod from the coaches.
