AFL Community Mourns the Loss of Adam Selwood

The AFL community mourns the loss of Adam Selwood, a former West Coast Eagles player who passed away at 41. His death follows the suicide of his twin brother, Troy, earlier this year. The Selwood brothers' legacy extends to their family's prominent role in Australian Rules Football, with brothers Joel and Scott Selwood achieving significant success in the sport. Collingwood coach Craig McRae spoke about the team's response to the news, stating, "There's no book written on this stuff." McRae expressed the sadness felt throughout the Collingwood club and the decision to shield players from the news before a game.
