As the title says. One of the few people I admired outside of EFC.

Not only a champ on the field, but a humble bloke off it.

Shame that his back injury curtailed his ouptut recently. A quality player, and close to unstoppable at his best.

Ricciuto was always one of my favourite non EFC players. He played hard but fair and was a class act.

Pity injury killed the end of his career. Great player....if only we could find a few players with his hardness at both the ball and man with the ball.

Ditto, by far my favorite non EFC star player.

Yeah definately one of my fav's outside of essendon. Went about his footy in a great manner, and is quite an under-rated player for what he does on the ground.

A great player at his best. Probably Adelaide's best player in their short history.

one of the most deserving of recent brownlow medallists - super player in every respect - skill, hardness, leadership etc

Big loss to Adelaide. Big loss to football.
Another one bites the dust. God, what a year... Ricciuto, Hird, Kouta, Archer, Darcy, Buckley, Grant, Sheedy, Pagan, Connolly, Daniher........

Fantastic player, will be missed by Adelaide, hope he gets one last shot for a farewell game. Champion.
My second fave player for the opposition after Arch.

That is one thing which cannot be argued. Great player.

Had a lot of time and respect for Ricciuto, the way he went about his business on and off the field.
His presence, around the club and the league, will be missed.

a champion of the modern game thats for sure. Sad to see another career of a champ end in injury though.

His bump on Dean Kemp in the mid 1990's will live forever. It was fair and brutal.
