at this stage it's "alleged" only

WOW this world is so horrible some times

RIP Walsh

[Gorgoroth 12,431]

Feel for the wife, her son [allegedly] kills her Husband, that's a lot to deal with.

Horrible, horrible news to wake up to.

Sad day for AFC.

[Arrow 1,257]

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.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

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.

[Demon Jack 6,397]

Speechless...

[Nasher 33,246]

I feel sick. Awful story. I really feel for all involved.

[praha 10,552]

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

[bush demon 1,927]

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

[Demon Dynasty 16,286]

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.

R.I.P. Phil Walsh

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

You'd think not. It would be very hard for them to get up for another game this season. Such horrible, horrible news.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

This sucks the air out of your lungs.

Absolutely horrible.

[chook fowler 18,555]

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

[Binmans PA 26,664]

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

[JV7 2,339]

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

[Demon Dynasty 16,286]

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.

[Bitter but optimistic 21,573]

A life lost tragically. How many lives subsequently ruined? It all hangs on a thread doesn't it?

[whatwhat say what 20,302]

just awful.

[Jaded No More 59,789]

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.

[hardtack 10,186]

vale.

[Eelesie 216]

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

[jane02 3,558]

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.

[dees189227 11,254]

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.
