Geelong captain Joel Selwood becomes a club immortal tonight when he breaks the Cats’ all-time games record, previously held by premiership teammate Corey Enright.
Enright retired on 332 games at the end of 2016, but he has only been able to hold the record for five years, as Selwood plays game No.333 tonight.
And what a remarkable career it’s been. Not only has he played in three flags, but he has only been involved in 90 losses from his 332 matches – that’s a winning percentage of 72.6, if you don’t mind!
The 33-year-old also has six All-Australian jumpers to his name (three times as captain) as well as three best-and-fairests.
He will be lining up in his 36th final tonight, placing him second all-time in the VFL/AFL behind only the great Michael Tuck (39).
