Victorian Premier Issues Statement 18 May
On behalf of all Victorians, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the friends and family of Adam Selwood during this profoundly difficult time.
My thoughts are especially with Bryce and Maree and the entire Selwood clan – a much-loved Bendigo family who have made an extraordinary contribution to Australian sport.
A local hero who went on to play 187 games for the West Coast Eagles and win a premiership in 2006, Adam was a leader both on and off the field – as a player, coach, and advocate for mental health.
He led with strength, kindness and purpose, and his legacy will live on in the lives he touched and the causes he championed.
We hold his loved ones and the wider football community close in our thoughts.
