Sellwood, recruited from Goulburn Valley Football Association club Wunghu, made his senior debut for Geelong in the 1930 VFL season and was a member of their 1937 premiership team. Prior to his death in 2007, Sellwood was recognised as the oldest VFL/AFL premiership player and was given honorary induction into the AFL 200 Club, because his career allegedly suffered significant interruption during World War II, preventing him from reaching 200 games.
