WHEN Cam Guthrie kicked a goal at the 12-minute mark of the third quarter, Geelong captain Joel Selwood knew he would become Geelong’s first four-time VFL/AFL premiership player.
After leading Sydney by 36 points at half-time, the Cats banged on four quick goals to extend the margin to 59 points, which had the skipper casting his memory back to his first flag as a 19-year-old.
“We probably had it won before then,” Selwood told K rock Football post-game.
“But, I did think back to ’07 and just remembered … to be honest, you play the games out because you remember the last bits of the game.
“I was really proud of the boys; they just kept coming at ’em, coming at ’em.
They just set this tone they’ve been playing all year.
“It would have been good to watch.”
CATS: “THEY’RE SO HARD TO WIN”
Selwood was able to get in on the festivities, kicking a goal at the 25-minute mark of the last quarter, after which every teammate swamped their leader.
“I was about 60 out, wasn’t I?” Selwood joked. “It was a sweet one.
“I actually really don’t know what happened.
“Little Joel Stengle just thought he’d go a right footy check and sail it right through.”
