Joel Selwood

This Saturday night when the Cats face the Dogs, Joel Selwood will become just the 21st V/AFL player to celebrate his 350th game.

Selwood has amassed the most Brownlow Medal votes of any Geelong player in history. The AFLPA awards have been kind to Selwood in the past. Selwood now holds the ever-extending record of 241 games. After being named vice-captain for the 2011 season, Selwood stepped up to the major role of captain in 2012. This would only be the beginning of his successes, as he continued to reel in the accolades. In doing so, he becomes just the 21st player in V/AFL history to reach this feat.

AFL: As Joel Selwood approaches his 300th match, his coach declared the Geelong star is the best player he's ever seen.

Geelong kicked eight goals in a brilliant third quarter to overcome an early deficit with Cats' win pushing the Western Bulldogs out of the eight.

They were dominating centre clearances as ruckman Jonathon Ceglar struggled to connect with his midfielders in his first game for the Cats. He imposed himself at centre clearances to give the Cats some territory and their dangerous forwards an opportunity to score. They eventually won by 28 points. Until half-time the Bulldogs had been very competitive keeping the ball off the Cats early as they kicked the first four goals of the game and looked ominous. It was a powerful display from a team that continues to build momentum as they conceded the first four goals of the match and trailed the Western Bulldogs by 11 points at half-time. Geelong kicked eight goals in the third quarter to ensure they could celebrate the 350th game milestone of their much-loved skipper Joel Selwood to record their 10th win in a row and stay one game clear on top of the ladder.

Geelong has secured its 10th consecutive win for Joel Selwood's 350th game to re-affirm their premiership favouritism. A bewildering second-half blitz was ...

The Cats remain at GMHBA Stadium next week in a clash against St Kilda, the last side to defeat them, while the Dogs host Fremantle in one of the games of the round at Marvel Stadium. Gary Rohan was subbed off after a marking contest resulted in a failing of the concussion protocols, introducing Brandon Parfitt into his first game of senior football in four weeks, while Dangerfield left the ground and had his left arm assessed. Brad Close (one goal, 19 disposals) had one of his career-best games, while Patrick Dangerfield (one goal, 26 disposals), Isaac Smith (one goal, 26 disposals) and Cam Guthrie (two goals, 25 touches) did as they pleased and ruled the midfield battle.

Geelong gave skipper Joel Selwood a milestone to remember with a big win over the Western Bulldogs.

This area of the ground will continue to be interesting at the selection table. Stewart finished with 22 disposals and 10 marks. Ryan Gardner, Buku Khamis and Cordy were far from the reason the Bulldogs were beaten in the third quarter. On a night of celebration in Geelong, the Bulldogs threatened to spoil the party early when they kicked the first four goals of the game before the Cats had registered a score, shocking the locals into silence. It was a devastating, clinical blitz that killed the contest and made it 10 straight wins for Geelong, keeping the Cats a win clear of Melbourne and Collingwood at the top of the ladder, with Brisbane yet to play this weekend. And on Saturday night it was premiership favourite Geelong which put the Western Bulldogs to the sword in a third-quarter burst that ensured Joel Selwood's 350th game was a night to remember at GMHBA Stadium.
