Selwood will also share the milestone with Gary Ablett jnr,who notches his 350th game against his former club Gold Coast.
"[I was] a Geelong supporter growing up and Gary junior was one that I looked at,and once I met him and then realised he was a friend of mine and now built a great relationship with him in here over a long period of time,just the footy he's been able to play at the level he's played at for a number of years has been unbelievable,"Selwood said.
"One day I'll tell my kids,when I have them eventually,that I got to play with that guy will be really special."

Selwood was the third of four brothers who reached the elite level,following in the footsteps of his twin brothers Adam and Troy who were both drafted out of Bendigo to interstate clubs.
The biggest difference was,Selwood got to play for the club he grew up barracking for,looking up to players such as Gary Ablett snr and Bendigo product Leigh Colbert.
"I was the one that always dreamt of playing in a Geelong jumper,so I was the one that got to live the real dream,"he said.
