WEST Coast midfielder Adam Selwood is free to play against Essendon on Friday night, despite being found guilty by the AFL Tribunal of striking Sydney’s Amon Buchanan.

Selwood was offered a reprimand for the offence by the match review panel but chose to contest the charge knowing that his good record would save him from a suspension even if he was found guilty.

Although free to play, Selwood said he was disappointed in losing his good behaviour record.

“I’m disappointed obviously in the decision and disappointed in losing my good behaviour record but we’ll just move on and so be it,” Selwood said after the hearing.
