Scott Francis Selwood (born 27 March 1990) is anAustralian rules footballer who currently plays for theIvanhoe Football Club in theNorthern Football Netball League (NFNL). He previously played professionally for theWest Coast Eagles andGeelong Football Club in theAustralian Football League (AFL).[2]
As an Eagle, Selwood won aJohn Worsfold Medal in 2012, and was one of five acting captains at the club in the second half of the 2014 season after then-captainDarren Glass retired midway through the season. He moved to Geelong viafree agency at the end of the 2015 season, playing alongside his brother and formerGeelong captainJoel Selwood for a further four seasons.
Selwood grew up inBendigo,Victoria, where he attended Catholic College Bendigo (nowCatherine McAuley College). Selwood was recruited from theBendigo Pioneers in theTAC Cup withWest Coast's fourth pick (number 22 overall) in the2007 AFL draft.
Selwood made his debut againstFremantle in the round 3Western Derby in 2008. He played the following week againstSydney, but was dropped after a poor performance, obtaining only nine possessions. 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. He capped off a stellar season by winning theJohn Worsfold Medal, ahead of teammatesDean Cox andShannon Hurn.
When then-skipperDarren Glass announced his retirement immediately after round 12 of the 2014 season, Selwood, who had already shared acting captain duties with fellow vice-captainJosh Kennedy in the games that Glass had missed that season, was announced as one of several candidates who would rotate the captaincy for the remainder of the season.[3]
On 12 October 2015, Selwood left West Coast and joined his brother Joel atGeelong as arestricted free agent.[4] Selwood missed most of the 2016 season with an ankle injury, but managed to return for the final five games of the season. Selwood managed to play 27 games over the following two seasons, displaying glimpses of the form that made him one of the best taggers in the competition and leading the competition in average tackles (10.7) in 2017.
At the end of the 2019 season, after managing only two appearances due to hamstring injuries, Selwood was delisted by Geelong.[5]
Following his delisting from Geelong in 2019, Selwood joinedCollingwood as a development coach.[6]
Selwood had three older brothers who have also played AFL football: twinsAdam (1984–2025), who also played for West Coast,Troy (1984–2025), who played for theBrisbane Lions, andJoel, who wascaptain of Geelong, retiring after the end of the 2022 AFL Season.[7] In June 2007, the Selwood brothers and their parents were named AFL celebrity ambassadors forSeeing Eye Dogs Australia.[7]
