Joel Selwood

[Wedgie]

Did the Cats sneak the best pick out of the top 20 at no 7 last year?
Don't get me wrong, Im a big Bryce Gibbs fan and I know some kids take a while to develop but this kid looks a freak.

2 Scott Gumbleton (Essendon)
3 Lachlan Hansen (Kangaroos)
4 Matthew Leuenberger (Brisbane)

7 Joel Selwood (Geelong)
8 Ben Reid (Collingwood)
9 David Armitage (St Kilda)
10 Nathan Brown (Collingwood)

Yeah Wedgie Geelong have a beauty..the difference is that the Cats are winning, and they are letting him have a real crack through the middle, where as Carlton have been playing Bryce down back in the damn backpocket for most of the year which is giving me the sh##s and I cannot understand why Pagan doesn't get him in the middle and let him use his footy brain...BUT well done Geelong for letting the kid go !!

From what Ive seen of those players, (I haven't seen much of Selwood) but the two that really stand out are Andrejs Everrit and Travis Boak. Both of them will have very long successful careers.

Ive seen plenty of all 3 and as good as the 2 you mention are Selwood makes them look 2nd rate.

Maybe, I haven't seen much of Selwood.

Agreed

Only bloke who might pip Selwood out of the Rising Star award is Pendelbury who is in his 2nd year but it wouldn't suprise me if Selwood still beats him.
Compared to Voss, Judd and Luke Ball already by those in the know.

[Dutchy]

yeah very good....in the Cats last loss to the Roos he was the high possession winner in his 2nd game of footy!!!

Wedgie...you obviously havent seen REB's previous threads on this bloke....he loves him!!!

apparently there is a 4th Selwood coming!!...some AFL clubs might be asking if their mum is still old enough to child bear!

Ive heard that too and apparantley he's the best one!

[BJ Ernest]

selwood definitely the best of this lot. playing very good football in a side that has few injuries, and lost of pressure on spots. did some very very impressive things tonight, especially one grab and quick gives under pressure.
cats are playing amazing football at the moment. too early to peak?

Possibly

LOL. That old chestnut Wedgie. The one we haven't seen is always the best one. I don't think he'll go too low in the draft mind you. Apparently he's a 'bottom age' player, that is top ten in the 2009 draft but maybe a bit lower if he goes this year. The Cats would do well to invest our first pick on him with a view to future years.
