AFL and sporting stars were quick to comment on the post, including ex-Carlton star Dale Thomas while former Eagle Michael Braun wrote “well said boots.”

Former Eagle Brent Staker wrote “thinking of you mate,” while Alex Witherden, Jake Waterman, Josh Rotham and even Matildas superstar Sam Kerr sending their love and support.

It comes as Selwood’s death has seen a surge in donations for Sunday’s Run For a Reason after he had been set to take part in Sunday’s charity run to raise funds for youth mental health organisation Zero2Hero.

That campaign had raised more than $21,000 when on Saturday, but that has swelled to almost $60,000 in the wake of his death.

Zero2Hero — a Perth-based suicide prevention charity — will facilitate a gathering for the group of runners after the event on Sunday.

The organisation’s founder and chief executive, Ashlee Harrison, told The West *********** she was overwhelmed by the support for Selwood’s campaign and said they were focused on putting those funds to good use.

The groundswell of donations to Selwood’s charity page has been accompanied by some stirring messages from friends and fans.
