Chris Judd posts moving tribute for former Eagles teammate Adam Selwood

AFL great Chris Judd has posted a moving tribute to Adam Selwood, describing him as the “perfect teammate” whose determination on the field “was without peer”.

Chris Judd has delivered a moving tribute to his former Eagles premiership teammate Adam Selwood.

Judd, who was West Coast captain and starred alongside Selwood in the 2006 win, made a rare social media post to honour his “perfect teammate” who tragically passed away on Saturday.

“Some people bounce when they run,’’ Judd wrote.

“They glide with their feet barely touching the ground, the result of genetic gifts bestowed on them. That wasn’t how Sellars ran.

“He was a great runner, but it was purely a result of grit, determination and work. His knees slightly knocked, knee lift almost non-existent, every step was a testament to his determination, which was without peer.

“He was the perfect teammate, you knew you were getting his everything each week on the field while being completely focused on the team.”

Judd also made mention of Adam’s twin Troy who also tragically passed away three months ago, and ended the post with Eagles colours yellow and blue love hearts.

“While off the field his personality blended a hard edge with kindness and compassion, a kindness he gave to everyone else but not himself,’’ Judd continued.

“I hope he’s up having a beer with Troy, with the sun shining on them both (with low levels of UV), and when he takes the field, I hope the forwards aren’t trying to get goal side anymore and that the new teammates love playing with you as much as we did. Rest Easy.”
