Toast Vale Adam Selwood

Absolutely gutting news to hear, footy is so secondary to this type of stuff.

Hard to process/express on a footy forum but just wanted to get this out there: am currently doing my psych masters while working in disability care and 100% believe in these results:

In contrast to older data from the 70-80s, current studies indicate that committing to and following through on literally any type of therapy promotes the best outcomes for mental health.

In other words, the act of seeking and committing to therapy is statistically so much more influential than the type of therapy it actually is. The caveat being: it's got to feel right for you.

Seeing a psychologist, seeing a community counsellor, group therapy, couples therapy, hypnotherapy, mates counselling programs, anything. It's not that the data invalidates one type of therapy over another, it's that if it feels right for you, the act of committing to it is going to give you the best results possible.

Sounds counterintuitive as a prospective psychologist but honestly, for men especially I would encourage everyone to open themselves up to whatever type of help they need. If you're hesitating or unsure, the act of just committing to seeking help is the biggest step of all.

If anyone does want anything specific or any ideas for directions please feel free to pm. Love to all you footy nuffies out there.

So true. I’ve had in and off depression for years and last year losing dad and falling out with work and leaving a good job stuck me in a hole. I didn’t wait like I have in the past, sought help and although I only had a few sessions it’s like a weight lifts off you.

They reframe you and get you to go back to basics and do the little things that make you happy in life that you just stop doing because you are stuck in your head.

Absolutely gutted but I can't even begin to imagine how that poor family is managing.

Condolences to the Selwood family.
Adam was an Eagles premiership hero and life member. Will forever be remembered.

My wife's gone out for lunch with her friends so it's just me with my boys. Just looking at them and ****ing hell it's hitting me hard. How do the Selwoods even cope from here?

I'm in the same boat. 2 young boys and a 3rd on the way. Looking at them playing with their dinosaurs, it's inconceivable to me the tragedy that the Selwood parents must be experiencing.

Adam Selwood -

Drafted - Round 4, Pick #53 2002 National Draft
Games 187
Grand Finalist in 2005, Premiership in 2006.

Guy was an absolute hard nut. One of those players you loved watching not for the flashy stuff but because he would do all the hard things. One of my favourites to watch out on the ground, seemed like a excellent bloke off the ground but on it would do anything for his team mates.

This loss hurts.

Condolences to the Selwood family. I can’t even begin to comprehend the grief that they would be going through.

 

[Cainozz]

Heartbreaking.

Absolutely speechless. This poor family has suffered immensely these last few months.

I remember watching him run around Jack Adder lake in Woodlands with his young son just last year.

Forever a premiership hero for us. Rest easy young man.

 

[KERRPOW]

Absolutely tragic for his family. Especially heartbreaking for his children.

For those of us who are lucky to have kids, they are the main reason why we keep going when we are battling internally. Its just tragic him and troy and others out there couldnt bear it any longer.

 

[MaxHunt]

Same as everyone else, lost for words. Heartbreaking.

 

[eagles rule]

OMG , what the heck ..

 

[MWPP]

Absolutely heartbreaking :’(
Thoughts are with his family and friends

Congratulations on number three! Two and done for me, got the snip!

26 possessions and 10 marks in that 2006 Premiership too as a kid.

Was never a passenger.

 

[RookiePick]

Very tragic. Unimaginably sad series of events for the Selwood family.


Just lost for words.

So, so sad. Devestating.

Prayers for the Selwood family.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Awful, awful news.

A very underrated player for our club who was a very consistent player and an important part of the team in those glory years.

Gutted to hear this so soon after his brother.

 

[Del216647]

Sorry for your loss, Eagles. I grew up in the Bendigo area and all the Selwood's were just fantastic people. Footy is just a game at the end of the day, there are things in life that are far more important. Thoughts are with the Eagles and the Selwood family.

Forgot his post-footy role with the club and important work with the women's team.

 

[ep2018]

It must have been truly awful when his twin brother passed away. Twins are closer than most. Rest in Peace Adam.

 

[Goroyals22]

Was in a Coles when I heard the news, tears in the eyes. Life can be stuffed sometimes

 

[THE A5]

Surely it’s not that hard to get theright picture. Absolute poor work from the guardian

 

[Broken_Chairs]

Omg, horrifying news . So much tragedy for the Selwood family

Did a lot for our club - on & off the field. Appreciate you Adam.

 

[DanWCE]

Mallys birthday today too

Some lovely words from Brauny

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Genuinely sick about this. He was an unbelievable person as well as a champion on the field. What a horrible year.
