"Even when the opportunity came to him to take a bit of the limelight, his priority was to make sure his decision didn't negatively impact anyone else," Scott said. Scott has now won two premierships as a coach, which sit alongside the pair of flags he won as a player with the Brisbane Lions. "In my opinion … when you take everything into consideration he is the best player I've ever seen and the best representative of the Geelong footy club that you could possible imagine," he said.While Selwood did afford himself the opportunity to look back over his career during Wednesday's media conference, he still made sure the best interests of the Geelong Football Club were at the forefront of his mind.
