Wow. Very kind of you.

Speaks highly of you that you could write that after the rivalry between our clubs. I doubt I’d be as gracious in your place!

Good stuff.

I love good footy, mate, and it doesn't get better than the Cats v Hawks. And it doesn't get better than the way your captain has performed in those games. Him and Jimmy Bartel (and Pods) tore my heart out a few times.

Cheers for this mate! But after seeing your name I’m in less of a footy mood and more of a Lord of the Rings mood!

Your article express the greatness of Selwood well. I admit that even as a cat's supporter I've loved how Hodge goes about it too.

SNAP!!! I just posted the link in our Review thread.

It's a brilliant article, + encapsulates what most Joel supporters think, when effort is needed, Joel ploughs into the game, pulling the team along with him!

Pretty positive reaction except from the usual one-eyed people who refuse to see players as great depending on the colours they wear.

I've found those in our FB page are mostly good. Idiots don't tend to last long. Passion is great - stupidity not so much. Cheers

Great to see something written with grace and no bias, when so many others can’t.

Well done.

Fantastic article, thanks very much for sharing it with us on our board. And without question one must respect the warrior players like Joel, and the Hawks of the likes of Hodge, Roughead and co. One doesn't have to like them, but one cannot do anything but respect them.

And to be honest as well, i do hanker for the return of the Geelong free-flowing footy of the late '00's, and even can appreciate the precision of the Hawks magnificent foot skills of the '13-'15 era. I really do hope something like this is able to defeat and hopefully end the runball tackle-fests that footy seems to now have devolved into. I much prefer seeing skill overcome just bloody-minded tackling and running.

 

[you pick one]

Great read you could substitute the name Luke Hodge and it would be just as appropriate.

Thanks man - really appreciate the support. We just try to be fair, and are very aware that we can't please all the people all the time.

Hope you stick with us
