News Phil Walsh RIP

[Scrotes2000]

Is That whats happening?

We'll know shortly. Nothing confirmed yet.

Its a desperately sad situation for his family & his friends, associates, workmates & club supporters. We all feel shocked & sad. Its a thing which happens all to often in society. When we know the people it brings it a lot closer & we feel it all the more.

I feel for all crows people now & wish you all the best, as I'm sure all the other 'outsiders' do too.

 

[Mepeyep]

I think what's most saddening, is that a man has lost his life under a tragic set of circumstances that are sure to completely rip his family apart.

Yes, definitely. What I meant and should have said was 'what is also'

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Rest in Peace. Gutted...
The bloke worked so hard to get his chance at the top job and he was doing so well at it as well

 

[AmericanCrow]

Is That whats happening?

Yes, just announced. "Mark of respect to Phil Walsh"...per rules points will be split

 

[NSWCROW]

[alex_is_on_fire]

2 points each
cancelled in best interest of players.
remaining 7 games will go ahead.

For what it's worth condolences to crows supporters, staff and those hurt by Phil Walsh's passing.

It might seem trivial to discuss or console over a web forum but these things have evolved to the point when you cut away the nonsense there is some genuine sentiment expressed.

Ignoring the football aspect, just heartbreaking that a father and son relationship could play out in such a way.

common sense prevails. this is an unprecedented situation in every respect.

Best decision has been made.
McLachlon did a great job at presser

 

[Allefgib]

Good decision by afl.
I like that it was their decision and took it away from club hands.

 

[Crow54]

It really is unprecedented, my buddies and I over here have been texting throughout the evening (they know I follow Adelaide) and none of us can think of anything equivalent ever happening this way.

All that can be done is rally around the boys and the family and offer whatever support is possible.

[mattymac]

Holy ****. Just saw this oh my god this is so damn sad. Unbelievable. So sad for his family.

I walked down to the AFC Melbourne office at lunch and was going to leave some flowers. The florist that Google say was meant to be there doesn't exist so I wandered around aimlessly for 10 minutes before heading back. I really don't know what to do with myself...

 

[Check-Raise !]

Tragic..... condolences to Phil's wife, daughter, their families and friends.
Terrible day for the AFC, the players and the supporters, as lovers of this great game our thoughts are also with you.
Thoughts are also with the PAFC and our supporters who Phil was with for many years and to all the other clubs and their supporters touched in some way by Phil.

 

[Roo Lives Again]

Just left some flowers at the club. Get down there if you can.
