West Coast Eagles stalwarts Adam Selwood and Mark Nicoski have called time on their illustrious careers, with both citing injury as a major factor in their decisions.

Selwood, twin of former Brisbane Lions defender Troy and brother of Eagles midfielder Scott and Geelong captain Joel, will stay with the club until the end of the season in the hope of forcing his way back into the side and adding to his 186-game tally while Nicoski's retirement is effective immediately.

Widely regarded as one of the best late draft picks in Eagles history, Selwood was taken at pick 53 in the 2002 draft and quickly made his name as an unwavering defender, often sacrificing his own game to blanket the opposition's most dangerous small forward.

His performances in both the 2005 and 2006 grand finals will be long remembered by Eagles fans.
