GEELONG tagger Scott Selwood is playing some exceptional football on the field but his work off it is proving just as good.

In an interview with The Footy Show on Wednesday night, Selwood settled an old sledging score with Carlton midfielder Dale Thomas, clearly walking away with the four points.

Years earlier Thomas had drawn first blood between the two, listing a sledge he delivered at Selwood as one of the best in his career.

“My best one was probably to Scott Selwood against West Coast,” the former Magpie said.

“We were winning and I was playing all right and he was tagging me in the last quarter and I think I just kicked a goal and I said, oh well mate, four brothers, one of you had to be the worst.”

It took a while but Selwood finally got his revenge on Wednesday night.

Asked if he would tag Thomas the next time the two sides played, the 27-year-old said,

“I’m not sure where the Northern Blues are playing that weekend.”

Whack!

However, Thomas was not to be outdone, replying on twitter today.

Selwood’s sledge brought back good memories for “Daisy”, saying: “This could be a good omen for scoota. Last time banter of this quality was exchanged between us, one of us went on to win a flag!”

Following it up with the hastag #VFLchamps.

Earlier this year, Thomas was dropped to play with Carlton’s VFL side (the Northern Blues) and he has been under constant pressure to find form all season.

Selwood’s midfield partner in crime Patrick Dangerfield was also clearly a big fan of the comment.
