Jesus, I have no idea what to say except thinking of you all and I will shout a round to toast Phil Walsh at the pub later. Such a sad day for everyone involved, your all in my thoughts today guys.
Mate, I am another far less than perfect son. I have done a few not so good things in my life and I get the feeling my dad is pretty disappointed in me in a lot of ways and I don't blame him.
Nevertheless, there have been some great ideas for tributes to Phil and I've got another one ... give your dad or your son a call today. I will be doing just that.
Devastating, absolutely devastatingly. RIP Phil.
Absolutely gutted. Simply cannot believe it.
RIP Walshy

At work...still in shock. Just no words as so many people will be hurting today and for a long time to come. Rest in peace Walshy gone too soon.
I got up late this morning feeling good. Switched on the computer and now have a feeling of disbelief. My gut is unsettled. Cant believe this has happened.

I must admit I'm not a big fan of drama queens, and even know ive never met the guy, I just have this empty feeling that we have lost someone really special today.
What do I tell my 5 year old who lives for and loves this club.

From a quote earlier it appears as though there was a significant disconnect between Phil and his son. Devastating that whatever issues between them have led to this. Indescribably tragic for the Walsh family and obviously Phil himself. It's strange, football seems so meaningless now, but it's only because of football that this hits so hard.

Cancelled
surely they will cancel the game. Noone will be able to focus in 2 days time, no-one will be able to focus in 3 months time for that matter. Titus O'Reilley nailed it in his article today. We are all connected by footy, regardless of the team we follow. He is a huge loss to the game and to us footy fans....but that is nothing compared to the loss to his family, friends the AFC and the players. Im sad for all of them, huge loss. RIP mate.
Phil was instrumental in West Coasts resurgence in 2011. His forward press helped elevate us from wooden spooners to a preliminary final.
No sense can ever be made from tragedies such as this.
My thoughts are with his family, friends and all those he worked along side throughout his career at seven different football clubs.
Vale Phil Walsh.

Anyone know if the kid was a drug user? Ice instantly comes to mind. Not really sure if this is the right place to speculate.
Geez the emotions surrounding the Showdown in a couple of weeks is going to be something. A tribute with all players, Port and Crows standing side by side, arms linked would be fitting.

I feel that given Phil's experience in south america the best way we could honour him is to enjoy being alive. Hug your kids, tell your partner why theyre special to you, take your dogs to the park, eat a fancy dinner, take a drive to somewhere youve always meant to go.

If it is alright, I would like to honor his memory with this avatar. I know he spent time in this country and he certainly has friends this way.
I agree with others that have already said it...give your children, wife, significant other an extra hug and your parents a call.

Would like to thank the Great man Warren Tredrea for approaching me and having a chat while at West Lakes! Really appreciated it mate
Still shocked by this. Really liked him as a person and as a coach. Thoroughly enjoyed his press conferences, which is I first for me. Sounded well grounded.
RIP Phil

Just dropped my hat down at the club as a tear trickled down my cheek... Such a loss. It speaks volumes of the man that he has had such a profound effect on a club, competition and state within such a short time. The world is down one of the good blokes today.
