Unbelievably tragic.

 

[MAGPIE2013]

i wouldnt not be surprised if the game got cancelled. Surely the players would not be in the right mindset to play the game.

Tragic news
Seemed so passionate and a good bloke

 

[Cattergirl]

Just awful news. So hard to comprehend this. Surely the game on Sunday should be cancelled if not the remainder of the round. Thoughts are with Adelaide FC

What a truly awful way to die.

Impossible to fathom this senseless act.

Condolences to the AFC, the family and the supporters.

 

[CabWesty]

Cancel the round. Split the points.
Horrible for the Walsh family and all who have had dealings with them. Thoughts with them all.

Terrible, terrible news. Thoughts are of course with Phil's family, friends and loved ones.

Stunned, absolutely stunned.

No words.

 

[Swarles Barkley]

What a horrible tragedy. Shocking news.

 

[Catsace]

Ghastly news, unfathomable. Really feel for all at Adelaide, i cannot think of anything close to a situation such as this to a player or official in-season.

I heard on the news at 6am about the death of an Adelaide man in his home overnight - at the times no names or indication of identity were made, and I thought nothing of it. Turned on the computer when I got to work, opened the Herald Sun website to the news and first though was 'oh sh!t'.

As others have said, I wouldn't be surprised to see the match on Sunday cancelled - split the points as others have said.

Probably a good thing for Port that they played last night because I could see them as another team who would struggle to play due to his involvement with last year, and potentially West Coast will have players not in the right head-space either. Obviously a lot of focus is on Adelaide at the moment, but we can't forget about Port and nor about West Coast where he was an assistant from 2009 to 2013, plus the players who have played under him and moved to new clubs. This will impact across the league - not sure how things will be handled, no right or wrong way to go about things, just hope that those who have to make the tough decisions are given the support they need and don't receive backlash if people don't agree.
