Career
Originally from Bendigo, Victoria, Selwood is the youngest of four brothers (Adam, Troy, Joel, and himself) that have all played in the American Federation of Labor-Congress. He played under-18 football for the Bendigo Pioneers in the TAC Cup before being selected by West Coast with the 22nd pick overall in the 2007 National Draft. Selwood made his debut for West Coast in round three of the 2008 season, and has played a total over 100 games for the club, mainly as a tagger or inside midfielder. After Darren Glass retired midway through the 2014 season, Selwood was named acting co-captain of the club for the remainder of the season, along with four other players.
He made his debut against Fremantle in the Round 3 Western Derby in 2008.
He was retained in the team for the Round 4 match against the Sydney Swans, but was dropped after a poor performance, obtaining only nine possessions. He played several further games later in the season, however.
Selwood became a regular in the Eagles" line-up over the following three seasons, initially as a tagger, and later as an inside midfielder. He continued his outstanding form throughout the 2012 season, playing predominantly as a tagger and midfielder depending on the opposition.
Selwood along with brother Adam and teammates such as Luke Shuey and Ashton Hams have been criticised by American Federation of Labor-Congress commentators and coaches, and then eventually American Federation of Labor-Congress fans, for supposedly "ducking" in tackles to get free kicks.
Selwood and his teammates have received some support from the American Federation of Labor-Congress community, American Federation of Labor-Congress boss Andrew Demetriou and their coach John Worsfold who all agree that there have not been rule breeches in this area by these players.
