Amazing player. Amazing leader. One of the greatest players of all time. Also, seems like a great person off the field.
As a player, I will also remember him for drawing high free kicks and so will many others.

I hope he breeds as much as Ricciuto
Cheap way out? Nothing about the way he's played has ever been cheap you ignorant muppet. Take the deluded, salty criticism to a thread that's not a toast to his retirement.

GOAT captain of Geelong maybe. But he can’t be ahead of multiple premiership captains with only the 1.

Good no more games at kp
Awesome career. I remember watching Selwood single-handedly will the Cats over the line in many matches, particularly earlier in his career.
Will depart of true legend of the game.

Welcome back bud. I've missed your well-informed and highly educated opinions. Bigfooty was lesser for your lengthy disappearance.
Undeniably the GOAT captain of Geelong and your lifetime! Can't disagree.

This is the main board mate, if you don’t want to face reality then stay on the Geelong board

Selwood stands with Hodge and Voss as the top 3 of the AFL era, all of them head and shoulders above the rest

Hard to imagine anyone else in the future who will break his finals games played record of 40 games.
It's easy to forget Selwood's first 100-150 games were almost as good as Judd at West Coast.

The disrespect of Cotchin is unreal. Triple premiership captain, Brownlow and AFLCA winner isn’t even close to Selwood apparently.

He was a solid battler.
Ollie Wines is forging a similar career playing wise, just not at a club good enough to win flags.
If rated on captaincy terms, maybe similar impact to Harley at Geelong.
Now that we have a coach in place I'm hoping Brad asks him if he's intrested being an assitant coach.
He would be fantastic for a club like Essendon make him the mids coach guys like Merret,Parish,Hobbs,Caldwell etc would be thrilled to learn from Joel

Look I’m not trying to pick a fight but Cotchin turned our club around from a laughing stock to a dynasty and Dusty around from being a trouble maker to the best player in the league at the time.
As great as Selwood is he’s never done that. His captaincy was straight off a dynasty and his first 3 flags he was in that dynasty. You can argue Selwood is a better captain or whatever (I don’t) but I think it’s a bit silly to say it’s daylight between them.

Nice post, but it needs more white space between sentences, and a few more commas.
Use <Return>, add some punctuation, and keep up the good work

3 x premiership captain to 1 plus Brownlow and Coaches award. I know which career I’d prefer.

This thread shouldn’t be on the main board if nobody is allowed to criticise. I’m out.

Yeah that’s crap.
This guy is as hard at it as all the famous hardnuts in history.
He’s in the Leigh Mathews territory for absolute commitment to crashing through walls of attackers and delivering sublime performances.
Courageous, quick as lightning with hands and a beautiful drop punt action.
His consistency is what makes him great.
In my mind, there’s JS, Bartel, Scarlet, Bairstow and lil Gaz who are way above the many many fantastically gifted players at GFC in the modern era.
Just all round skills of perfection and grit
Gary Jnrs brother could’ve been the best of them all. But that’s another story.
Joel ****ing Selwood will remembered forever as one of all time greats of GFC
