Phil Walsh found dead overnight

Anyone who gets caught selling ice should be shot, this is getting out of hand and is only getting worse

I just want to share my experience with Phil to you all.

Growing up like many young men, it was always my dream to play afl. So when I got invited to Glenelg u/17 as a 15 year old, I was absolutely stoked. My first season was spread between living in south east south australia and heading to adelaide. My second season was interrupted by issues at home and Glenelg didn't really see a future for me however port adelaide did. As I was now nearly 17 I was in the u/19 squad and the then port adelaide afl midfield coach was in charge of our first session. I remember thinking that I didn't belong at this level but after our initial training and subsequent meeting, Phil told me I had all the attributes to be a solid league footballer. As the season wore on Phil could see issues at home or outside of football were taking their toll and consequently harming my output. The term father figure gets thrown around far too often these days, but that was exactly what Phil was. Half way through year 12 when it became too much and I dropped out on top of a knee injury, Phil drove with me back to the south east to my family home to sit down with my parents to see what we could do to turn my life around. Without going into too much detail, Phil would continue to have a mentoring role with me for a full season after, often calling me after a game to touch base, or see if I'd survived the weekend binge.

Words can't describe the pain I feel today. I haven't spoken to Phil for close to 5 years except for a text to congratulate him on taking over the adelaide , but I'll never forget his influence on me as a teenager going through some turbulent times. The world has lost a great, caring and genuine man today and IL never be able to thank him enough for his time in my life. I know that I'm just one of many young players that he had this effect on and I can only imagine the pain that others, be it afl or never-weres like me are also going through.

RIP Phil. THE world has lost a great person today.

I would say you are not a never-were, & somehow feel you carry the phil walsh mantra within you. honour it as best you can, as a good person. care & respect.

your fortunate to come across someone in your personal life, who inspires you with humanity.

 

Isnt it a cray cray world we live in...

a world full of stress, pressure, & pain. & of too many people competing against one another in our daily lives. keep the competing for games, & wars when necessary.


A guy that worked for me got into ice. Was a nice polite, studious type for 3 years. Didn't smoke or drink. Then slowly he started acting strange, all wired up and manic. Was getting co-workers offside with his paranoia and verbal aggression and had to go. Only found out he was on ice after he was charged with a serious crime that is in the courts now and also in the news. Ice is the most evil drug around. Has to be stamped out. If there is an ice link in Phil Walsh's murder, I would not be surprised.

Ice is a terrible drug. Having had my fun over the years with party drugs it's the drug I dislike ( and heroin ). I'm a good boy now though.

Any mind altering drug that has an accompanying strength enhancing quality is dangerous . The high is 4 times stronger than cocaine. So your at a party have a toke high for 20 minutes then you feel absolutely terrible a lot worse than you were before so the need to go again is there. Highly addictive and obviously ruins people pretty quickly. My kids will be well educated on this, I'd urge everyone to do the same its everywhere.

I reckon a lot of illness/ cancer will be attributed to ice in the next decade. A guy I knew died of stomach cancer at 33 he was a regular user.

The government needs to ramp up its efforts against omc's on this for a start. They are losing the fight.

It's rare that I would use bad language in a public place but I did yesterday morning. I was walking up Little Collins Street on my way to work and caught a glimpse of one of the TVs in a cafe that was showing Sunrise. I caught a glimpse of a caption outlining the morning's events and I said 'WTF?' out loud. That's how shocked I was.

Others have said things here that I wanted to so no point repeating that.

It's hust unbelievably sad and feels almost surreal.

Any possibilty that Goodwin may feel obliged to help his old team?

Ice is the first thing i thought of

How else could you stab both your parents repeatedly with a knife & then be found in a different street covered in blood soon after...

It is an enormous problem.

I have done my share of powders pills & Weed over my younger days.

But ice is another level altogether

No one comes back from it the same.

actually adc, negativity, & critically judgmental people & organistions in society , are more damaging, & will likely cause many hurt people to seek out such drugs in the first place... including those who want to make these horrible concoctions, so they can become higher up the totem pole of status.

power & greed are the same imposters disguised as something to aspire to.... they together create all that is bad in humanity.

I read that the son was joking and laughing when arrested. If true he must have been really messed up.

Yep it is on a completely different level all together... I know blokes who go out on weekend and take various substances in a social environment but you bring up ice and they all have the same few that, that [censored] is completely F####d. I really don't know what the government/police do about this heinous drug.

I read that the son was joking and laughing when arrested. If true he must have been really messed up.

Really i wasn't aware of that...Makes it even worse

His come down will be horrendous..

It is similar to "Angel Dust" which went through America in the 70's...People would be shot down but just keep running...

I read that the son was joking and laughing when arrested. If true he must have been really messed up.

Whered you read that?


Whered you read that?

I read it in the herald sun I think... A witness said he was laughing and jovial when arrested.. Points him been completely out of it, if true

I saw it on the Adelaide Advertiser website last night.

This?

''Witnesses to Cy Walsh's early-morning arrest heard elevated voices, car doors slamming, but bizarrely, the sound of a man laughing before they ventured outside their homes to see what was happening''

I recently helped a friend of mine get off ice. He has been off of it for 6 months now, lost his marriage, can't see his kid, has a string of domestic assaults to his name. Prior to doing Ice he was a hard working fella, provided for his family, etc. It is a terrible drug, the worst of the worst. Like many, I couldn't help but jump to conclusions - at least in my own mind - about the recent events in Adelaide.

Maybe just maybe it was poor Phil finding out first hand that his son was on the stuff.

It does only take a couple of hits to become fully addicted.

It is that strong....

Im no expert but it is uaually mixed with large amounts of alcohol.
 

Thanks for that. Now I feel I know you better.

Seriously though it would even make ice addicts scared of thinking they can take on the world.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
