Reading through reports Adelaide FC has indicated they are still contemplating playing SANAFL and AFL so it will be interesting how it plays out.

Just noticed Crows will hold a press conference at about 2:30-3:00 today.

Well, I doubt other games be Postponned but with the Crows might ask for a week or 2 to sort there stuff out,

Like who is going to the Crows Head Coach Now?

Either Teague or Camporeale you'd imagine.

Absolute tragedy.

It's a reminder that footy is just a game.

Indeed. With all the negativity swirling around footy of late: Essendon, illicit drugs and now this I've been reflecting on footy and how it's supposed to be for enjoyment, entertainment and for escaping the pressures of life, yet so many people seem determined to shroud it in the very shit and negativity it's supposed to help us escape from.

Horrible news. I am deeply upset by this - like many others, I watched him play in 1983 and he quickly became my favourite player, for too short a time.

For the record, amongst many other feats, whilst at Collingwood, he received 7 Brownlow votes, finished 3rd in the Copeland in his only season (no mean feat on a list that boasted, amongst others, Tony Shaw, Peter Daicos, Greg Phillips, Geoff Raines, David Cloke, Billy Picken, Denis Banks, Peter McCormack, Rene Kink, Ricky Barham and Mark Williams, Craig Davis, Mike Richardson, "Gubby" Allen, John Annear and Graham Teasdale) and, in only his 19th game, rained on Kevin Bartlett's 400th game parade, with a 31 disposal, 3 goal, best on ground performance that, no doubt, still gives KB nightmares.

RIP Phil.

^^ Well said, remains 1 of the best debut seasons I've seen at Collingwood, was shattered when he was lured to the filth from Punt Road.

Really was a "where were you when" moment this morning.

What a tragedy. RIP Walshy.

Shocking news. Just bloody awful.
I remember him well from the 80's.

RIP Phil.

Terrible, shocking & devastating news. Sad for everyone obviously family, friends & club.

I too was lucky enough to see him play in his first year at Collingwood & he was a genuine talent. I was very upset when he & John Annear left our club that was part of the Richmond Collingwood wars.

Very very sad & troubling.

RIP
