I just smile at all the crap posted. 11 years of nuffies posting crap about the captain.
Keep going Joel.
its almost pointless. The mouthbreathers are set in their ways.

And it is pointless to try and get Cats fans to accept that their captain is a cheat so there you go

A cheat is someone who breaks a rule. He doesn’t do that. You’re all just bitter.

You're welcome to say I'm wrong that he's a cheat - but what exactly am I bitter about man. I barrack for Threepeating Hawthorn. Couldn't be happier

I’m no psychologist, how would I know why players laying poor tackles makes you all foam at the mouth. It really is bizarre.

Go cry to AFL HQ, it's up to them to manage the game.
If umps called play on, he'd still play on. Everyone carries on about it, but the umps still let it go.
I don't care either way anymore as the game is so stupidly umpired anyway and he is and will always be one of the most courageous players the game has had and will have. It would Probably improve him if the umps removed that style from his game.
They brought in the below the knee crap, so cry to them to remove the "ducking/lifting opponents arms"

he's a cheat and a sore loser, and has given rise to a second and third wave of cheats.
his legacy as a cheat should be triple that of jobe watson.

Bit of a stretch re Jobe Watson.

I agree it's ultimately an AFL HQ issue but this is a football forum so what's the big deal in discussing it?

If players learn to tackle then we solve your aesthetics problem. Simples.

Blah blah. You know that Selwood gets more head high frees than anyone else. He is extremely good at getting them. Should we all change how we tackle because of one diving cheat? This is not the answer

Well since the viewing public aka bigfooty make the game I'd say if the majority think he's a blight on the game than he probably is, regardless of what his mates think of him.6x AA
3x AA Captain
4x AFLPA Most Courageous Player
3x B&F
1x AFLPA Best Captain
Crazy people within in the game rate him really high but BigFooty posters think he's a blight on the game

Blah blah. More mouthbreathing.
Except the OP has 63 likes, there are 141 posts in this thread and a bit of 95,000 registered members.
That's hardly a big chunk of the viewing public. BigFooty wouldn't even fill the MCG.
There are a lot of decorated champions in the game that don't do what Selwood does. I like those guys - they're great to watch. Sloane last night did some hard hard things and never once tried to milk a free kick. Love watching Sloane. Same is true of probably 10-20 top line midfielders in the AFL.
But Selwood - his approach to drawing frees is a real stain on the game.
I agree that other clubs need to learn how to tackle him better. He's exploiting the rules is a gross, extreme way and others have to combat it, but imagine if Joel played without consideration of free kicks? He'd probably be a champion.

Sample size, of what the vast majority think.
Great player that lets himself down, you have to be blind to think his ducking doesnt tarnish his reputation.
He wasn't trying to break the tackle, leans into the armpit of the tackling player. If Sloane had of put his arms in the air and declined to tackle Selwood would of landed on the ground, I wish someone would do just that one day.
As bad as Joel can be, Scott is way worse
He's a level below the players that don't work so hard for free kicks in terms of champion status. It's really not a champion thing to do.

Funny how players know how to tackle except when they are tackling Selwood.
