Reported his son [allegedly] killed him last night.

Vale Walsh.

Will the crows play this weekend?

at this stage it's "alleged" only

Horrible, horrible news to wake up to.

Sad day for AFC.

Arguably the worst story ever in AFL. We've never had a player killed on the field as far as I can remember, and for a unexpected tragedy like this to happen is unprecedented.

I'm honestly sitting in shock on the train, what is wrong with this world.

Every so often with footy, something happens that just completely rocks you, and this is one of those.

Best wishes to his wife, and his daughter who I believe is overseas.

Holy wow! That's quite shocking. Do the Crows play this week?

Incredible. I woke up to SEN and they were saying to forgive them as they weren't really prepared to deal with it and were still digesting it like everyone. I thought there had been another Port Arthur or another Lindt cafe' type situation somewhere.

Just a horrible situation for everyone concerned.

What a horrible week - thought that the Roughie and Bennell situation was bad enough but this takes the cake.

Horrible, horrible situation for all concerned.

Thoughts are with his extended family and the Crows

It is [censored] horrible. He seemed like a weird/eccentric, but nice bloke.

Couldn't begin to imagine what the wife is going through... The players too, it's hit hard to the general public let alone those close to him. IF drugs were involved which could be the case, it might take an incident like this for the whole country to realise this [censored] isnt acceptable... Don't know how the weeken of football pans out this weekend, you couldn't imagine the adelaide players could take the field

Absolutely sickening, and heart rending. My guess is the round will be abandoned.

I think that's the least that should happen BD. Not sure how or whether that's contractually possible. Most likely Gill will have another pressser 2 days running.

Awful news. So shocking.

I was listening to them break the story on SEN as I was driving into work and couldn't believe it

A family torn apart. Just horrendous.

Thats bloody horrible. RIP Walshy. Thoughts with your family,

I feel physically sick. I was on my way to work when my husband rang and told me. I feel for everyone involved - its tragic. There is no way those players could get out there on Sunday and nor should they be expected to.

Its wrong to speculate the circumstances on how it happened. But geez we have lost players before ie Broadbridge and McCartney in tragic circumstances but a coach murdered. Holy hell.

Im not really sure how this whole round can be played. I mean im sure it will still go ahead, but im sure other coaches are in shock and players that knew him. Certainly im not sure how the geelong adelaide game can go ahead.

Geez Gill thought his biggest problem was the drugs code. This will hit the AFL hard as well.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
