RIGHT from the beginning, the Geelong<\/span>-Joel Selwood combination made sense.<\/p>\n

That the hardnosed midfielder should break the\u00a0Cats<\/span>‘ games record and go down as one of the 162-year-old club’s greatest and most important players seems fitting.<\/p>\n

Selwood’s draft year was ruined by knee issues that scared clubs off.<\/p>\n

If he was fit, the Bendigo boy was a potential No.1 draft pick, but recruiters can go cold on teenagers undergoing significant surgery.<\/p>\n

Selwood played just three TAC Cup (now called the NAB League) games in 2006 – a year in which\u00a0Geelong<\/span>\u00a0had high hopes for a breakthrough premiership but ended in coach Mark Thompson almost losing his job following an underwhelming 10th-placed finish.<\/p>\n

As disappointing and chaotic as the\u00a0Cats<\/span>‘ season was, it allowed the club to pull off one of the all-time great draft steals.<\/p>\n

Concern around Selwood’s knee problems allowed him to fall into Geelong’s lap at pick seven.<\/p>\n

For all of the focus on Selwood’s body as a junior, his AFL career has been as durable as any player of the modern era.<\/p>\n

Discounting the shortened 2020 COVID-19 affected campaign, Selwood has played more than 20 games in all other 14 seasons at the top level.<\/p>\n

“I feel pretty lucky,” Selwood said this week.<\/p>\n

“It was a bit of a dodgy start but it’s a ride I would love to do all over again and experience the highs that I have.”<\/p>\n

\"\"
Despite early injury concerns, Selwood has made his name as a hardnosed midfielder.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Selwood’s resilience is even more remarkable when you consider he has played a demanding, battering ram role in a midfield that has played in 14 of the past 15 finals series.<\/p>\n

There have been periods when it seemed every second week the six-time All-Australian had blood flowing from his head and needed to be bandaged up.<\/p>\n

But in Friday night’s semi-final against GWS in Perth, the 33-year-old will overtake great mate Corey Enright’s mark of 332 games played for\u00a0Geelong<\/span>.<\/p>\n

A chat with Enright before the three-time premiership defender retired in 2016 set Selwood towards breaking the record.<\/p>\n

“When Corey Enright was finishing up, he actually pulled me aside a couple of days after the season and we sat downstairs where I lived at that stage and we were having a drink and he told me he was going to finish up,” Selwood said.<\/p>\n

“I told him to take a bit more time because I still thought he had some run in the legs and wanted him to keep playing on.<\/p>\n

“(The record is) one of those things that has come up and I am sure someone will break it (after me).”<\/p>\n

Few teenagers are able to make an immediate impact at a club, not just on the field, but off it, too.<\/p>\n

But Selwood was an exception.<\/p>\n

He debuted in round one of 2007, gathered a total of 404 possessions for the season to be a unanimous pick for the Rising Star award and played in Geelong’s 119-point smashing of Port Adelaide to finally end a 44-year flag drought.<\/p>\n

The arrival of Selwood at\u00a0Geelong<\/span>\u00a0saw the club embark on an incredible period of success, winning more premierships in 2009 and 2011, and losing another grand final in 2008.<\/p>\n

Cats<\/span>\u00a0hierarchy had already seen enough in five seasons to appoint Selwood as captain ahead of the 2012 season, aged just 23.<\/p>\n

His record-breaking game against the Giants will also be Selwood’s 223rd match as\u00a0Geelong<\/span>\u00a0skipper.<\/p>\n

It will put him behind only former Carlton great Stephen Kernahan (226) and Essendon’s Dick Reynolds (224) for most games as captain of any VFL\/AFL club.<\/p>\n

Praise has come flooding in from all corners for Selwood this week, with Zach Tuohy blown away by his skipper after arriving from Carlton.<\/p>\n

“He’s a legend of the club. He’s an icon of the club,” Tuohy said.<\/p>\n

“He’s one of those guys that I was fully aware of how good he was before I arrived (at\u00a0Geelong<\/span>), but until you see it live, I’m not sure if you can fully appreciate just what he actually does.<\/p>\n

“He’s an amazing leader on-field and takes that off-field as well, but however good you think Joel Selwood is, I can assure you he’s considerably better than that.”<\/p>\n
