Also, the day Selwood can tear an opposition apart like Judd does & did, is the day I would even remotely consider Selwood in the same league.

Only reason he won Rising Star was because he was hand fed by the best in the business at the time. :roll: Made him look real good.


A great article. We thought Juddy was pretty good in rounds 3,4,5 I get the feeling we ain't seen nuthin yet.

I love the way Rattten tries to hide his excitement..... but fails :lol:

Good article, but why do they refer to OUR Juddy as "the former Eagles premiership captain". Who wrote that article? Don't they know jealousy is a curse! :-D

Flog!

Joel Selwood is the only player I can think of in recent history whose first 2 years in the AFL are comparable to Judd's first 2 years in terms of sheer quality and consistency. IMO Judd's first 2 years would account for Selwood's, but young Joel is also a very special talent.

Agree Sedat -had a huge impact on Fri nights game in the absense of a few stars. Been watching Selwood pretty closely recently, and was good to watch both him and Ellis from the hawks on Fri night. Selwood plays a very similar game to Ball, whereas Ellis is more like a Del Santo to me, very sure and polished, - I think he'll make the step up as well. Along with Gibbs (& if we need a comparision it's Peter Motley no questions), I'm sure we'll be speaking of those three in the same light as Judd, Hodge & Ball as the standouts of their draft. Different players, but very gifted indeed.

I can't think of many players I'd swap for Gibbs right now. Selwood is a fine young player, but he definitely wouldn't make that list.

Kyle Reimers.

Buckley can't find a weakness in his game. :roll: :lol:


I'd say the thing on top of his shoulders is a weakness! :lol:
