Adam Selwood Biography

Adam Selwood sues radio shock jock John Laws and radio group Southern Cross Broadcasting, demanding damages for language used by Laws on his radio show which he deems as defamatory.

Following Selwood's on-field brawl with Docker Des Hedland over Hedland's tattoo of his daughter, Laws was critical of the behaviour of Selwood during the incident.

Dean Cox and Tyson Stenglein are named as Eagles vice-captains to recently appointed skipper Darren Glass with Ashley Hansen, Adam Selwood and Matthew Priddis rounding out the West Coast leadership team.

The leadership group was selected based on votes by the Eagles players. Current vice-captain Andrew Embley was elected not to remain in the leadership group.

Eagles coach John Worsfold said that Embley would still provide leadership to the team while not in an official capacity.

"He possesses certain leadership qualities that we may not have included in the ones that we got the players to vote on," Worsfold said of Embley.

"I'll go through with him the areas in the votes where he was lower in our criteria that he could be higher."

Bomber David Hille and Eagle Adam Selwood are free to play this weekend after being cleared by the match review panel.

Johsn Worsfold says he's confident of regaining Adam Selwood and Adam Hunter for Sunday's clash with Port Adelaide.
