Todd Lowrie will become Melbourne Storm's NSW Cup Head Coach in 2027, leaving the Leadership Coach position for Scott Selwood.
Selwood will mentor the club's current and emerging leaders and work with its senior leadership and coaching groups during the 2027 season.
He played 169 AFL games across 12 seasons: 135 for West Coast and 34 for Geelong.
After his playing career, he spent six seasons as a Collingwood assistant coach from 2019 to 2025, overseeing the midfield program during the club's 2023 AFL premiership campaign.
His brother Joel held Storm's Leadership Coach role in 2023.
"It's a huge honour to join Melbourne Storm as Leadership Coach," Selwood said.
"Through conversations with my brother Joel and having met Frank and Craig a few times, I've been really impressed by the Club, its culture and the sustained success it has achieved over a long period.
"Having the opportunity to work with the leadership and coaching groups over the next 12 months is something that really excites me.
The Club has some outstanding leaders and I'm looking forward to meeting them over the next few months."
Director of Football Frank Ponissi said Selwood's playing and coaching experience would bring valuable perspective.
"Throughout his playing career and more recently as an AFL coach, Scott has demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities, and we know he'll bring valuable experience and a fresh perspective to the Club heading into an important season."
