JOEL Selwood is looking forward to finding out just who is going to stand up in the wake of his biggest loss as an AFL footballer.

The Geelong skipper admitted the feeling after last night's 110-point thrashing at the hands of Sydney was something he didn't want to experience again and demanded an immediate response from the playing group.

DEADLY SWANS THRASH CATS BY 110 POINTS

"It is not a feeling that you want I can tell you that,'' Selwood told the Geelong Advertiser from a deathly quiet Cats' changerooms last night. "But we have to go through it together right now and we are going to find out who is going to stand up and that is what I am going to look forward to."

The 22.16 (148) to 5.8 (38) result was Sydney's greatest ever winning margin over Geelong and catapulted the Swans into second place on the table. The Cats could slip as far as sixth by the end of the weekend if other results go against them.

But for Selwood, the only thing on his mind was "getting back to work" on Monday ahead of next Friday night's game against Carlton.

"We usually bounce back from losses really well," he said. "But in saying that we haven't had a 100-point loss for a very long time so it is challenging for the group. That is great because while you don't want it to happen, it is a challenge to see how we can bounce back against Carlton next Friday night."

Sydney's domination of the Cats last night was generated through midfield, where it smashed Geelong in all the key statistics.

Tippett (five goals), Lance Franklin (four) and Adam Goodes (three) dominated against a Geelong backline sadly missing Tom Lonergan and Corey Enright.

But Selwood was offering up no excuses after loss, including consecutive six day breaks.

"No, we are professional footballers," he said.

"We just got outrun, we got outspread, we got beaten at the contest, we got beaten in the air, it was all over the ground.

"We went into the match really well. We thought we played some pretty good footy for a long part of the game last week, so we came in confident, we thought we matched up pretty well against they. But they (Sydney) were outstanding tonight and we were far from that."
