It says a lot about Joel Selwood as a person that Geelong coach Chris Scott chose to reflect more on his selflessness than his career achievements after the Cats skipper announced his retirement on Wednesday.
Selwood's decorated career across a Geelong-record 355 senior matches includes almost every achievement an AFL player could enjoy: four premierships, six All-Australian selections (including three as captain), three club best and fairest awards and a Rising Star nod to name just a few.
Captaining the Cats to their 10th premiership this season simply added icing to the cake.
