Profile

When he wasn't bleeding from the head or ducking Selwood went about putting in another premium fantasy season. It was looking a bit shaky part way through the year with his average dipping below 100 thanks to some heavy tagging but he finished off with a 119.1 average in his last 9 games. This made it six seasons in a row he has averaged above 103 while also only missing a handful of games across those years, making him one of the surest bets in the game. There's no reason to believe he can't keep it up for a few years yet.

Pros - Proven scorer, high ceiling, high tackle numbers

Cons - Still struggles with the tag sometimes, will have to take the good with the bad when picking him


Prediction - 103-107

Get what you pay for.
Pretty safe bet for a 100-110 average again next year.

[pommyadam]

119 average over his last 9 as me looking at him purely as an upgrade target (after he bottoms out at around 400k around the byes)

was damn infuriating this season, pretty sure I jumped on just before his 2 sub 80 games :(

[nrich102]

I really want him in my team, but don't think he'll be affordable with Gaz and The Pig

[Ricochet]

Yeh last two years he has started slow and then come home with a wet sail. Look to upgrade to him again next year

Great find.
Lock in for a possible bye round upgrade.

[Spinking]

Nice stats Pommy. Have always felt he was a bit of a slow starter and that confirms it.

Wasn't really considering him as a starter, but this makes him more appealing as a mid season upgrade.
