Scott Selwood

Recommended Posts

It's interesting, my brother in law is a mad eagles member/supporter and I was talking to him about S.Selwood last night. He couldn't care if Selwood left, he said Shuey would hurt Selwood not so. Reckons if we gave up a first round pick we have been robbed. I personally think we rate players from other teams a lot higher then they actually are because our cattle is so far below the afl standard.

So... you're saying Scott Selwood is Jordie McKenzie..?

Paul Roos was spotted in the Perth suburb of Claremont today having a Chai Latte with Scott Selwood. The new Melbourne coach had made the trip west to have a chat with Jesse Hogan whilst the young Demon was holidaying in his native state, though also took the opportunity to catch up with Selwood, who is alleged to be warm to the idea of a return back to Victoria. No doubt that Melbourne would need to depart with pick no. 2 for the emerging midfielder should any deal between the two clubs eventuate.

If I was providing this information I'd share the source, rather than just say "spotted".

dont be seduced by the surname. should not be mentioned in the same breath as swallow, adams, martin when discussing trade options.

You obviously don't watch WCE games, he just had his breakout year (the stats i've shown above support this perfectly), he's also super impressive on the track and an ideal bloke you would want around your club.

Thank you Markc and Greeny.

I don't do Facebook, but am I right to say it's a far from reliable source for the trade/draft period ?

I believe the same source said on Friday night that Voss had signed on with Collingwood as an assistant coach.

That should give you an indication.

Either it's really good and the mainstream media isn't onto Vossy 4+ days later... or it's highly unreliable.

Selwood has just as many runs on the board as these blokes and just as much potential.

Whilst I now agree that pick 2 in itself would be overs, I still believe Selwood comes into calculations bundled with other picks/trades from the Eagles.

Not just this season he stepped up well in 2012 and maintained his good form into this season

Would love Scooter Selwood, but this talk of pick 2 is madness. He's a handy player but is unlikely to become a top 20 mid. A pick 2 mid should.

Pick 2 and 20 for Selwood and 6 is the only way I'd entertain giving them pick 2.

Better players available!

Lmao nice copy and paste from facebook!

Scott Selwood is currently in Melbourne with family to support his brothers.

oh and btw that facebook page is the biggest [censored] talker going around. basically he makes up all his rumours.

According to his brother Troy on SEN this morning, Selwood won't be moving. As well as being mid-contract & happy at WCE, his recently retired brother Adam will likely remain at the Eagles in an off-field role.

That interview is probably up at the SEN website by now for those interested enough

Right age, hard tackler, wins his own ball and is an excellent tagger if needed. Honestly, if a fair deal can be brokered, we will benefit massively! 2nd round pick is fair compensation or worst case a swap of first round picks. We put too much value on high draft picks in the AFL as most players taken in the top 10-15 work out well.

Look at the NFL system and they can (and do) trade picks right up to the last minute in the draft.

A few things; this trade is unlikely, a 2nd round pick is not fair compensation, pick 15 is not a second round pick, and your point about the NFL is a tangent. I don't know how it follows what you were saying about the worth of these kids.

Not discussed in the same breath as Swallow? Whys that? Do you even watch football? He is 10 times the player Swallow is. To suggest otherwise is ridiculous. Adams may become the better player but so far Selwood is far superior

selwood has been playing for several seasons and in my opinion has reached his potential. a bit of a brent moloney type. the 3 i mentioned have far more upseide and show more class in what they do. Just too young to do it consistently yet. I watch a lot of football. You are "prendergast" in your talent spotting abilities. :)

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
