Scott Francis Selwood (born 27 March 1990) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Geelong Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). Originally from Bendigo, Victoria, Selwood is the youngest of four brothers (Adam, Troy, Joel, and himself) that have all played in the AFL. 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. He was the winner of West Coast's Club Champion Award in 2012 as the best and fairest at the club. 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.
Originally from Bendigo, Victoria, where he attended Catholic College Bendigo, Selwood was recruited from the Bendigo Pioneers with the West Coast Eagles' fourth pick and number 22 overall in the 2007 AFL Draft. 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.
