No, I think this stuff actually effects people and social media is a way people express that nowadays.

You reckon the son might've been on ice or something? Can't think of any rationale explanation for such a despicable act.

Thank god that Carlton flog got a day off before i could finish this thread......
Well said
shocking news, rip & condolences to his family
Eh, I'm with you on that, but it's one of those things where accuracy takes a back seat to conveying a simple sentiment to the masses. It's like referring to a person who sexually offends against anyone under 16 as a paedophile. It's inaccurate, but makes for a simple headline and is easily understood.

Do you know this for certain?
I've heard from a few sources it may not be drug related.

Don't speculate guys. I'm sure the actual story will come out in time.

You're going to hear a lot of this over the coming days. Just ask yourselves - how many people do they expect you to believe were in the house, at that time?
For me it was one of those moments in time I won't forget when I heard on a news update this morning saying that it was Phil Walsh that had passed in the murder in SA. Was in traffic at the time and immediately just felt flat as a tack, sense of numbness enveloped me. Couldn't believe it and ended up pulling over to compose myself.
I know he wasn't "young" in the fact that he'd lived half a life and given 35 years to AFL but I still feel that at least at the Crows he was a young pup with a lot of knowledge and wisdom yet to give to those players.
Guys like Walker, Sloane re-signed with the club not just because of the impact that Phil was having but because they saw he would take them places asa team and they wanted to be part of it. This mornings events could be a catalyst behind Patrick Dangerfield's final decision.
As an assistant to Woosha he was one of the main reasons behind a West Coast resurgence up the ladder in the early part of this decade and than went to Port as a right hand man to Hinkley who revatalised that group.
From all past reports and reports today he was just an absolute footy head who loved the game and knew it very well. He was a coach I'd have loved to sit and have a beer or a surf with, to play under and learn from.
My thoughts go out to Phil's immediate family particularly his wife and daughter, what possessed his son to do that we may never know in full. To the Crows staff, players, members and fans as a football family stand together with you today, sharing and supporting you in your grief and loss

I agree. Walsh could have been involved in developing that hashtag as well.
Damien Barrett, come on down.

there's no evidence to suggest that so let's not take that easy out just because it's the flavour of the month.

Yeah, I don't know and I'm happy to leave it to the privacy of the family if that is their wish.
I just think it's a bit shit that people are jumping to conclusions that it may be Ice / Drug related when they have no idea.
Hence why I asked if the poster knew for certain.

negative news is his aphrodisiac. this is probably the best week of his life.
Such a waste. RIP Phil.

But he was murdered.
We don't that yet. Could be manslaughter. Court will decide.

Tragic news. Will be a somber mood right around the footy world this weekend. RIP, Phil.
Terrible news, absolutely devastating.
Just feel numb.
RIP Phil Walsh.
Just feel numb.
RIP Phil Walsh.
