I think what is also lost in today, is that his wife Meredith also sustained injuries as well.

After a tough and long day at work, this is the least I can do. RIP Phil, a true footy Guru

She did, and the non-physical ones are going to be far more painful for her going forward. I hope the club does everything possible for her and her daughter.

Words are hard to come by at this time, however I would like give my deepest sympathy and condolences to the Walsh Family and to all supporters, players and staff near and far of the Adelaide Football Club. I wish you all the success in these hard times for the future and hope that we all get to celebrate together what Phil gave to us with his love of the game in the up and coming showdown.

My thoughts go out to his son, god forgives you, I forgive you and so will your father.

We have some thing common, loss of a dam good coach.

RIP Phil

Its actually go to the stage where the Club needs to have some process in place to support the grieving partners that have passed away, ie Bails and Walsh.

Great theme on the AFL website.

I dont know what Walsh would think about this, but IMO I think you are correct. I think he would have forgiven his son from above. He openly stated his love for his family.

And it's not the injuries that will hurt most either.

I know the club has been fantastic in supporting Darcy Bailey, We all have issues with our club at times but I think we can be confident that the AFC will offer everything that it can.

Near the end of a horrific day and it still hasn't sunk in, our coach murdered. Just think about it, never ever in your wildest dreams would anyone have woken today expecting this. I just feel so sad for Phil and his family. This is the most ****ed up day. What a tragedy.

 

[Roo Lives Again]

If he'd just had a few more years he could have fulfilled his destiny and made his masterpiece. Gone too early.

poor kid he had no choice about his father going.

Definitely gone too early.
... Just maybe he was there long enough for the masterpiece to paint itself in spite of the tragedy that has happened.

Dreadful news, condolence Phils family, friends and crows....... #weflyasone#

 

[Der Kaiser]

Can we please have some kind of tribute like RIP PW or something on our guernseys for the rest of the year?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Have held in the tears today, mainly due to shock and numbness than anything, but the post-game tribute made me tear up. Still struggling to comprehend this has happened. Just a terribly tragic day for footy but everyone in the AFL community coming together to pay their respects and mourn together just makes me appreciate what we have as well. R.I.P Phil, we mourn the loss of a great man.

Maybe his name on the back of our jumpers?

 

[xchadders]

i feel lost. been in a state of disbelief all day.

 

[Lockhart Road]

I was a guest in the room two years ago when Phil Walsh was awarded Life Membership of the Port Adelaide Football Club.

The irony. The tragic irony.

Life.
Never is it to be taken for granted.

Tomorrow the sun will rise in the east.
But it will be imperceptibly dimmer, for we have all lost one of our own.
All of us.

 

[Der Kaiser]

Maybe his name on the back of our jumpers?

Anything would be great IMO it was just an idea I think would be nice.

 

[Sanders]

The players got together with the coaches and had their own minute silence in a circle at the end of the game arm in arm.

Hawks player, Collingwood player, Hawks player, Collingwood player... two coaches together.

And the crowd followed suit.

And... Gone again

I'm sure they do.

A truly beautiful moment at the end of the most troubling day. Football finds its place. Rather perfect #RIPPhilWalsh pic.twitter.com/PZVWLn1RNl

Must have resonated pretty deeply with Clarko after his recent stoush with that * Luke Helps. he'd be reflecting on how anything could have happened, and how anything does happen.
