Lionel Messi emulating our hero Joel Selwood has really riled up the off-topic shitposters. Our two 2022 world champions deserve nothing but the utmost respect. Please keep it tidy, first and last warning.

A Tiggie melt and a mod melt. Just like any world champ, Leo and Joel's success seems to have put a few offside. The detractors won't stop the comparisons from flowing in though.
A picture of two players holding a cup in the same year after you typed joel Selwood Messi in a search engine doesn't quite cut it, what did you think you would get
.You Cats are worse than we were back in 2017, Messi is the GOAT, Selwood was good but not even close to being the best.
Enjoy your flag for what it is an AFL Premiership not a World Cup, as for the players, yes they're both ageing, yes they both won something this year, yes they both wear blue and white, the comparisons pretty much end there.

...just like he retired after the World Cup.
Maybe you can shoop some more flags for the Pivotonians? Get 'em up around 11 or 12.

In what way? I've literally trained Google to link the two immortals together. I've left a mark that will be passed down for future ages. You could mount a case this has been the most successful thread in Bigfooty.com history.

Messi has more talent in his foreskin than all of Selwood.

So you're telling me Google is lying? The link is there now, Joel Selwood and Lionel Messi forever intertwined - remember the moment when a humble Bigfooty.com poster manipulated and conquered the world wide web's algorithm....theres literally no link aside from you ranting "OMG same".
Are you going to say Geelong are the Avengers next?
Lionel 'Joel' Messi. Joel 'Leo' Selwood. The collective unconscious is already having trouble differentiating between the two.

Don't follow basketball. Who's the GOAT there? I might be able to work them in with Joel/Leo.

How many of those insta accounts are yours?Even Brooke Cotchin has 45k insta followers
Here's a couple of pics you can use with similar tenuous links to Selwood and Messi.
That last one is especially relevant it's one of Chris Scotts used ones.

Its just you, yelling into the void.
Sadly you feel the void has answered you.
Its a little sad you need to link Joel to Messi.
