Geelong skipper Joel Selwood has no issues about sharing the limelight with returning Sydney superstar Adam Goodes at Simonds Stadium on Saturday night.

Selwood, 27, will become the youngest-ever Geelong player to reach the 200-game milestone on a night when much of the focus will inevitably be on how the crowd responds to Goodes, who missed last weekend's win over Adelaide due to a relentless booing campaign from opposition fans.

The Cats and Swans players will run through a joint banner on Saturday night promoting unity, although it will also pay tribute to Selwood's milestone game.

"We're going to run through the banner together, we decided that as a football club and I'm really happy with that," Selwood said on Friday.
