AFL star Joel Selwood and his wife Brit are expecting their second child.
The couple announced the news to Instagram on Tuesday evening alongside an image of their 16-month-old son Joey looking at a ‘big brother to do list’ and sonogram.
The list of big brother duties included: wake up at 7am; eat all your dinner; don’t throw balls at the baby and be gentle. All boxes were ticked.
‘Joey’s still working out if he can sign the contract… he’s got until October,’ the couple captioned the image, before adding: ‘We’re excited to be adding to the family.’
It wasn’t long before the family’s joyous news was inundated with well-wishers.

Brit said that her heart breaks for anyone struggling to have a baby, and that she hopes they too get their miracle one day.
They told the world of their exciting news by sharing a photo that shows the sportsman holding up a tiny football jersey featuring his player number and ‘dad’ written across the back.
Along with the photo, Brit wrote: ‘Our dreams have come true, Joel and I are grateful to be able to share that we have a little one coming into the world,’ she wrote.
‘We couldn’t do this announcement without acknowledging those who are struggling with infertility or loss. I know how much my heart would break every time I saw a pregnancy post and my heart truly goes out to you if that’s how you’re feeling right now.
‘These past few years have changed me forever. For anyone who has lost hope right now, I’ve been there and I’m thinking of you, and I hope one day soon, you get your miracle.’
