Geelong’s top 10 players of the decade

An immaculate clubman from day one at Geelong. Selwood was an unexpected difference for the Cats' newfound premiership window in 2007.

Taking out the Rising Star in 2007 to go with his premiership medal was the perfect start to his career at the Cattery, and it didn't take too long for the hard-hitting midfielder to become a fan favourite.

Selwood collected his first All-Australian selection in just his third season, and has since been selected another five times, with three as captain.

The Cats' captain courageous is the only current Geelong player to have three best and fairests and is one away from tying Garry Hocking and Dick Grigg as the clubs leading Carji Greeves collectors.

Selwood has held a leadership position at the club since the 2009 season, having been elected into the leadership group at just 20-years of age before taking over as captain prior to the 2012 season.

To add to Selwood's growing trophy cabinet, the tough onballer has won four AFLPA Robert Rose awards, given to the leagues most courageous player, a fair representation of his career so far.

Selwood has polled the most Brownlow votes by any player not to win the league's most decorated individual prize, with 195 votes. Selwood currently sits 7th all-time on the Brownlow medal votes tally, with plenty of football left to rise up the leaderboard.

Selwood's achievements in midfield class his ability as an elite onballer, despite fighting for the ball alongside some of this century's best accumulators in Ablett, Bartel, Johnson and Dangerfield.

Known to wear his heart on his sleeve, Selwood's courage and leadership will never be questioned by those that have seen him run out for Cats. The Geelong skipper will be sure to go down as a hall of famer, pending legendary status.
