Selwood was hit with fines for misconduct and rough conduct in separate incidents that occurred during the Cats' thrilling five-point win over the Western Bulldogs on Friday night.
He can accept $1000 and $2000 fines respectively for early guilty pleas.
In the first incident, Selwood pushed his fist into Bailey Dale's head as the Bulldogs defender was pinned on the ground in a tackle.
Later, Selwood put his hand in Taylor Duryea's face and stumbled over his leg when the former Hawk had fallen to the ground after taking a mark.
The long-time Geelong skipper was one of his team's most important players against the Bulldogs with 29 disposals, 10 clearances, six tackles and a goal.
The Cats won the match when Gary Rohan kept his cool to kick the winning goal after the siren.
It set up a huge contest against Brisbane at the Gabba on Thursday night, with both sides attempting to press their claims for a spot in the top-two.
