I've never watched a Geelong game and finished and said, wow, Selwood made a massive difference to the game, what a great influence he is on the team and AFL in general.
I hate players who dictate to officials and look to the umpire (or ref in other sports I watch) at every contest they go for. Selwood not only expects a free, but expects a 50, too. Only have to see him pointing down the field on the weekend expecting a 50 when he took a contested mark that was fairly contended on the siren.
He is a pathetic blight to the game where the AFL have started to implement (FINALLY, they have actually started to try and stop, counter to what you say) regulations where he won't be awarded for dropping the knees. What other player has required rules to be re-interpreted due to playing outside these rules?
As I said previously, Sicily gets whacked for his playing outside the rules, but Selwood gets rewarded for it. Lets re-visit this topic after Round 6, shall we, and see how you feel? I know how I'll be feeling.
On CTE, I really do wonder how Paul Bevan is fairing now.
