Mitch Duncan has sent his love and support to his former team-mate and good friend Joel Selwood after his brother Adam tragically passed away over the weekend.
The Selwoods have been left grieving the losses of two members of their family over the past three months, with Adam’s identical twin brother Troy also sadly passing away in February.
Tributes have since been pouring in for Adam, while many, including Duncan, have also issued messages of support to the Selwood family, following what’s been a horrible three-month period.
After Geelong’s 20.7 (127) to 16.17 (113) victory at GMHBA Stadium on Thursday night, the Cats midfielder delivered an emotional message to Joel,
‘Missing me good mate Joely…’ Duncan said, pausing while appearing to be overcome with emotion.
He then let out a breath, before continuing, ‘Who has had a tough three months. Love you mate.’
Speaking on the Cats’ playing group, the footy star opened up on how inseparable he and his team-mates are.
‘That’s what I’m talking about, it’s the connections that you make, you’re probably here more than when you are at home, so how can you not love people when you’re around them that much.’
Joel, a former Geelong captain who made 355 appearances for the club between 2007 and 2022, paid tribute to his late brother Adam on Instagram on Wednesday evening, publishing several pictures of himself and his brother.
He captioned the post ‘Rest up, love you brother. Look after each other.’
