RIP Phil Walsh - Police, club, league statements in OP

[SSwans2011]

Absolutely gutted. Numb. Terrible news to wake-up to. I quite literally feel sick right now. R.I.P. Phil. Condolences to the family and anyone close to him. Surely the Crows can't play this weekend. Split the points or postpone the match.

Just make it a draw. How could anyone bring themselves together to play a game straight after that.

The AFL have to do this they cannot expect the players/coaches/support staff to go out and play a game in two days time. Call the game a split the points

 

[Kermit]

Vale Phil Walsh. Sympathy to his family and friends and the AFC and it's players, staff and supporters. I thought this was a sick joke when I first saw the headline. I still really wish it was

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Just heard this - holy * - what a terrible horrible situation.

Really feel for his wife and daughter, as well as extended family, friends and the people around the club.

I'm just in shock.

 

[Hotham Hawk]

Deeply shocked. RIP

 

[Blacky]

This is surreal

RIP

 

[Freoforever86]

Tragic news.. Gutted for Adelaide FC.

Couldn't believe it when I first saw..
Was hoping it was a hoax..

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Absolute tragedy. RIP. Am shellshocked

 

[Nostradumbass]

Phil was at so many clubs the effect is going to be wide spread.

Indeed it was, he was a Tiger.

 

[BoxMatrix]

I have no words. RIP

You can't split the points. Too many ramifications.

Either the Crows, Cats and AFL do the following.

1) Crows forfeit - Cats get all the points
2) Game is postponed.

Anything else effects all other teams and the competition too much.
Preferred option is to schedule a mid week game in a couple of weeks. Not ideal but better than anything else.

RIP Phil.
All the best Adelaide FC and their supporters, really shitty time for u all

 

[PumpyChowdown]

Terrible, horrible, shocking news. Hard to comprehend.

 

[South of the Yarra]

Stunned. Rest easy good man.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Guys if you see an offensive remark don't quote it just report it. Quoting the idiots makes it harder for Mods to remove the offensive comments

 

[Stratton_Gun]

What the actual *

Unless they cancel or suspend the whole round.

Can we save this talk about the game for later? Right now it's just not the time.

 

[smasha]

Can't believe it.Stabbed by your son.
R.I.P. to Phil and thoughts with family and friends.
Didn't Phil's wife get stabbed also?
Thoughts with her.
Sad day and puts life in perspective.

 

[Hawkers]

Unless they cancel or suspend the whole round.

Which definitely won't be happening

I have no idea man. I'll amazed if we play.....

 

[Jack Bradley]

I just really really hope there is nothing sinister behind it - I just hope there isn't any dark secrets behind the murder. I've probably seen too many movies . This whole thing is just ****ed

 

[Randomizor]

No words. Horrible.

Splitting the points is a lot fairer than a midweek game.

Staggering

RIP

Don't worry about the footy... I'm sure they'll work it out
