ANALYSIS: Is this goodbye? The titan that is Joel Selwood will always leave us wanting more

But for the Joel Selwood odyssey to truly be complete, Saturday September 24, 2022 had to happen.

On grand final day, he was titanic again. Selwood was the best player afield in the first quarter — better even than the incredible Isaac Smith or relentless Patrick Dangerfield — setting the scene for the bloodbath to follow. When Geelong need him most — like, now or never, holding out for a hero time — Selwood always delivers.Selwood took a back seat for much of the rest of the game, playing his part but letting Dangerfield, Smith, Tyson Stengle and Brad Close enjoy their moments in the sun. Had it ever become close again, you can be sure Selwood would have re-emerged as the game's dominant force. But it most certainly did not become close again.

It was a moment that will go down in grand final folklore. And even those fans of opposition teams, who have found cold comfort in chipping Selwood for his knack of winning free kicks or a couple of moments of ill-discipline through 355 games of AFL footy, had to pause and recognise his greatness.
