Dale Tapping has passed away too from cancer. Sad day for footy.

[Mofra]

Young family, at only 40 years old. Sad story and I wish nothing but the best for his family.

[merantau]

That's very sad news.

[chef]

Adam Hunter has also passed away.

Adam Hunter has also passed away.

Jeepers. Sad few days for the AFL community.

RIP Troy, Dale and Adam

[Eastdog]

Very sad to hear.

Just too young.

[Bornadog]

Terrible. RIP

Adam Hunter has also passed away.

He was a terrific player at either end of the ground. A real power athlete
Such a terrible week.

Dale Tapping has passed away too from cancer. Sad day for footy.

I coached with Dale at the Western Jets for a couple of seasons. He went out of his way to welcome myself and my family to Melbourne (as did a few members on this board) when we moved across and I genuinely don't know how things would have been without the support of Dale and Kellie. Our daughters were about the same age and spent ages playing together - coaches families getting dragged to u18 games is actually married life comedy when you think about it...I just have no words for any of this.

Terrific footballer - I think he's in the Prahran Team of the Century for his time in the VFA, awesome coach (a drill I use to this day is called the 'Taps Transition Drill' in his honour - it's all about 2-way running and his favourite thing in the world - running defenders changing the game by taking grass ball in hand), great fella...gonna miss him.

RIP Taps.

Adam Hunter has also passed away.

How awful.

Not that it's relevant really in context of the conversation but I always thought he was a terrific player.

Really sad to hear that mate - taken way to young. Hopefully the Taps Transition Drill lives for many generations to come!

[Grantysghost]

Awful news on all fronts. You wonder how much concussion / cte has to play in a lot of these cases.

Sorry to hear you lost a mate MJP.

[chef]

Can't imagine the grief the family is going through atm with now the passing of Adam. Devastating for the football community.
