Great Selwood article..

Found this story on Joel Selwood and it makes great reading. Especially like the bit at the end about taking pay cuts for the sake of success...not sure how to cut and paste it as it is a few pages long, so here is the shortcut.

I love it where he says he hopes his brothers will eventually come and play for the club, and that he will always be a cat and would be willing to take a pay cut if necessary for the players to stay together.

Looks likely since they play inter state. WCE can keep Adam... we'll just take Scott and Troy from Brisbane.

Pitty Geelong didn't hold out a few years and give Selwood the great number 5!

What are cockles?

Chambers of your heart

Chambers of your heart

Aren't they a shellfish?

EDIT: Wikipedia says DanA is right. The phrase 'warm the cockles of one's heart' references to the ventricles of the heart (Latin: cochleae cordis).

About the way our American hearts beat way down in the bottom of our chests
About that special feeling we get in the cockles of our hearts
Maybe below the cockles,
Maybe in the sub cockle area,
Maybe in the liver, maybe in the kidneys,
Maybe even in the colon, we dont know
