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

[James_]

You may want to remove it from your post too. The OP has removed it.

Good call. Removed it.

 

[Jaeger]

Yep, and the commercial radio, television and online media outlets have been running stories all day.

Those utter bastards, who do they think they reporting the news at a time like this? It's clearly just so they can make money. How about they show some respect?

Everyone obviously has to report on it mate. Only the HS, from what I can see, are selling a special edition paper on it.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

These incidents always bring out the absolute worst of the media. Like the journalists queuing up outside the hospital when Hughes died, just waiting to catch a shot of a grieving player. Scum

 

[Darksidepoints]

Hopefully a nice tribute tonight for Phil. Gonna be a hard round for everyone.

Anyone else hate seeing the word "Murdered" in the thread title?

Maybe change to tragedy?

He was murdered

 

[Milanista28]

He was murdered

Oh thanks man. Lucky we have you here to fill us all in.

 

[Byrons Firen]

Amid the shock my thoughts are with Mrs Walsh.
Perhaps spare a thought for her in this tragedy.

He was murdered

Exactly. Why would you call it anything else.

That report says 31 women had been killed by violence (including but not limited to domestic violence) in calendar year 2015 to 13 April.

Haven't seen anything to suggest domestic violence kills two women per week.

Why sugarcoat?

The word is correct as you know.

yes its ugly.

 

[malteaser]

Oh what a time for a young buddy footballer.

He was certainly killed,whether he was murdured is yet to be determined

 

[Sea fog]

Beyond sad!

 

[jc12]

How can you take away the life of someone who gave you life ? Horrible , can't believe what has happened . RIP .

How optimistic

I have no problem with media keeping my updated on facts and real events. what i despite is events like the harley benell incident where they pedal this sensationalist agenda to make him seem like the second coming of hitler. but a story like this deserves proper coverage because people really do care.

Special Edition version of today's The Advertiser will be released. I assume it's because the incident happened too late for it to make the morning edition rather than a cash grab.

Semantic bullshit.

I'm not interested in going there, sorry, and I have no idea why you quoted my post out of 100's of others about this shitty topic.

Yeah I don't understand the point of a special edition paper, everything that people need to know at this stage is already out there.

He was stabbed to death and then his wife had her legs cut multiple times according to the media.

Fairly sure the intent was to kill.

 

[Jobe Watson]

This is honestly one of the worst days in football history.

Just puts everything into perspective.

RIP Phil.

Round 14 should forever be known as White Ribbon Round.

Adelaide should always play Geelong and the BOG should get the Phil Walsh Medal
