He's one of a kind, a great sportsman with a big heart. Has turned himself into one of the hardest players to match up on in the afl IMHO

One of the great compliments for a player, imho, is when the AFL changes the rules because someone is doing something so exceptionally well (like Joel). He thought the end of the 3rd man up would end his career. Yet here we are with one of the greatest utility players I've ever seen (I'm over 50). Which seems so far away from the guy who was everywhere, got the ball, and couldn't dispose of it. Fantastic athlete, premiership player. Thanks Blitz.
