Phillip Hughes has passed away.

[Mr Fonebone]

I know this is not AFL related but I think it is worth acknowledging on the main board. Absolute tragedy.

 

[Harris Specter]

RIP, never knew him, but seemed like such a nice guy. Thoughts go out to his family and friends.

How terrible must Abbott be feeling holy crap

 

[joop]

Yep for sure. Unbelievable.
Hopefully Abbott has a great support network around him too, he's only 23 and likely to never get over this.

just heartbreaking for everyone.

Shocking news

First time in a long time I've seen a reporter breaking down reporting the news of someone's passing. Poor Neroli Meadows was in tears reporting from the hospital for Foxsports

Deepest sympathy to Phillip's family friends and team mates

 

[the big lebowski]

So sad.

I remember when he tore South Africa apart in those tests overseas.

Just goes to show how unpredictable life is and that you have to cherish those you love everyday.

RIP Phillip
