VALE TROY SELWOOD & DALE TAPPING

Statement from AFL Players’ Association CEO Paul Marsh: 

The AFLPA extends our deepest sympathy to Troy’s family, friends and all of the people who played, worked, and knew Troy from his time in the industry and broader community. 

This is an incredibly sad and difficult time for those who knew Troy, who was an AFLPA delegate during his football career, a popular teammate, and someone who contributed immensely to the industry as a player and administrator. 

The AFLPA also extends our condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Dale Tapping. Although Dale was not an AFLPA member, he contributed to the lives and careers of many of our members throughout his extensive coaching career. 

We would like to remind all current and past player members that they have free and confidential access to our wellbeing services nationwide and we encourage them to reach out should they require support.
