Rioli wizardry

By Geoff Slattery

HAWK Cyril Rioli's wizardry was on full display early in the second quarter, when he grabbed the ball at the 50m mark, sold a dummy in superb style, then slotted a bullet pass to his captain Luke Hodge.

Hodge booted truly to notch his second goal and put Hawthorn 25 points up.
