GEELONG vice-captain Patrick Dangerfield says he expects Joel Selwood to continue leading the Cats for the duration of his football career.

Selwood now holds sole possession of the record for most games as Geelong captain, passing Reg Hickey’s 142-game mark last year.

“As long as he is at the Geelong Football Club, I think he is immovable in that position,” Dangerfield told SEN Breakfast.

“He is just such an incredible figure for us to learn from whether you’re a 10-year player or a first-year player.

“It’s that (Michael) Voss-ism … he is just a leader because he is.

“He exemplifies everything we want to be and his demand on the group is unquestioned.”

Selwood has been easing himself into the 2020 campaign after undergoing surgery on an injured hamstring and recently tying the knot with wife Brit.

Dangerfield jokingly put the pressure on his captain to return to the track after a Tasmanian honeymoon.

“We haven’t actually seen him since (the wedding) so I’m sure at some stage in the pre-season we will see him again,” Dangerfield says.

“I think we are (worried about his commitment to the club) and I think it’s something that needs to be discussed on a higher level than just behind his back on our WhatsApp group.

“Joel if you’re listening, we’d love to have you back at some stage.”
