Opinion A mark of respect

[CrowEater888]

The AFC and PAFC don't have much in common, but today, our enemies are our brothers. Tragedy has brought us together.

As a joint mark of respect by both the AFC and PAFC I think the Showdown trophy, or medal, should be renamed after Walshy.

Thoughts?

Perfect

Gona hang a scarf in front of work.

The same thing was suggested when Bailey passed.

As I said then, wait a few months and see if it still feels appropriate.

I've heard the Bailey/Walsh cup floating around. Would be fully supportive of it.

Other than that, what can we do as supporters? Can't believe we're talking about this

did then, still does now, in regards to Bailey.

One banner, one player circle for a minutes silence.

Agree with this. It definitely seems fitting, but decisions like this don't need to be made right now.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Allow the dust to settle but a man who had such a profound impact at both our clubs should be remembered in some way. However, I think this call should be left up to his family.

A tribute at the next showdown (joint banner, players from both sides arm in arm with eachother for a minutes silence would be a beautiful tribute in my eyes)

I support the Walsh-Bailey cup. It would be a fitting gesture and also a reminder before every showdown that there are things in life more important than footy. We tend to get a bit carried away with the rivalry in this state.

Banner with Sunflower painting in the middle, Crows/Power colours in photo frame border, Phil Walsh RIP written on it.

I detest Port but I love the one banner, one circle idea.

I wasn't going to the game but might try to now. I will wear the scarf of both Clubs on that day. We are one and the same when it really gets down to it.

Agree with this.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

In the showdown I hope both teams run out on the field together and go through a huge banner.

One would hope this is the case, I think it might be a bit more a of a sombre mood around the ground that day

 

[StonesThrow]

I think a joint Port and Crows tribute by players and staff would be a good idea at AO.

Edit:

Perhaps west coast as well? Was involved with write a few clubs so it's hard.

 

[manureid]

Is going to be a terrible feeling at the showdown. That is going to be a wearing sunglasses day for sure

 

[crowtricolours]

candle light vigil outside the club tonight ?

 

[Jars458]

I will be going down there after work. Leave my scarfe there of something.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

I'll head along to wherever people are going. AAMI or Adelaide Oval?

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Agree with this.

and wouldnt it be good to see fans arm in arm as well as tribute to the great man... You can make no mistake how distraught the players and staff would be feeling now, not only at the AFC but also at PAFC and even WCE. Such a sad day.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Port and Adelaide should unite as one. Forget about the rivalry we have , this is about remembering Phil

Agreed. Everything is super emotional after someone passes away, and it always seems like the first thing people want to do is name something after the deceased. Let the dust settle first.

 

[Check-Raise !]

The Showdown will be a sombre occassion and whilst I love our INXS song prior to 99% of our games I'd rather on this occassion that we stand silent as one proud and passionate PAFC and AFC group with our scarves raised high in respect of the great man! There is always a large contingent of supporters from both sides at each showdown. Maybe a draw would be apt.

 

[Mike Smyth]

I wasn't going to the game but might try to now. I will wear the scarf of both Clubs on that day. We are one and the same when it really gets down to it.

My first reaction, as a football supporter, was you're crazy but when I thought about this would be a beautiful thing.
