Joel Anthony Selwood (born 26 May 1988) is an Australian rules footballer for the Geelong Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). A midfielder 1.82 m and 82 kg, Selwood was part of the Cats' premiership-winning team in 2007. He is the only player to have received the AFL Rising Star Award and a AFL Premiership medallion in the same year. After starting out in athletics, Selwood began playing football and debuted in the TAC Cup as a bottom-aged player. There, he became a stand-out performer in the junior league, winning Most Valuable Player awards at both state and international levels, captaining Australia in the International Rules Series, and gaining selection in both the All-Australian and TAC Cup Team of the Year sides. Although a knee injury forced him to sit out most of his final year of junior football, Selwood was drafted by Geelong with the seventh overall pick in the 2006 AFL Draft. Selwood made his AFL debut in 2007, winning the AFL Rising Star Award, AFLPA Best First Year Player Award and an AFL Premiership medallion with Geelong. Off the field, he has acted as an ambassador for the Seeing Eye Dogs Australia organisation alongside his brothers, Adam, Troy, and Scott, who each play in the AFL for West Coast, Brisbane, and West Coast, respectively.
