Selwood was recruited from Bendigo Pioneers with the West Coast Eagles' fourth pick, and number 22 overall in the 2007 AFL Draft. He made his debut against the Fremantle Dockers 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 9 possessions.
His long awaited return to the senior side was in Round 16, 3 months since his last game, against the Brisbane Lions, at the expense of veteran Michael Braun. Although a poor performance, amassing a mere 6 possessions, he was retained for the surprising win against St Kilda. This time he gave a greater output, amassing a career high 15 possessions and also scoring his first goal, courtesy of a brain-snap by St Kilda defender Brendon Goddard. Selwood is now trying to cement a regular spot in the senior side.
Over his first 4 games, Selwood has averaged 11 possessions per game.
Selwood has three elder brothers, twins Adam and Troy, who play for West Coast and the Brisbane Lions respectively, and Joel, who plays for Geelong. In June 2007, the Selwood brothers and their parents, Maree and Bryce, were named AFL celebrity ambassadors for Seeing Eye Dogs Australia.[1]
