What
The
Hell
?

Subject line blew my mind

Fark

Can't they just cancel the whole round and don't even play it again and take off the points from last nights match?

This is Fkd. No one will want to play any games now this weekend.

That would be unfair and affect many variables in the season. There are massive commercialisation and logistical issues involved with many stakeholders impacted by such decisions. That doesn’t downplay what has happened but there is much to consider when making these decisions.

This. Call off the crows game and call it a draw.

I agree with that

His daughter is OS currently and they were trying to locate her hence the delay in putting it out there this morning.
The poor bloke survived being hit by a bus in Peru and nearly dying only to be slain by his own son :frowning:

Wife is in hospital too. My god, what a tragic happening.

Cancel the whole round.

This is all kinds of f’d up.

What kind of a son does that to a father…

Cancel the whole round.

They might cancel the Crows game, but I don’t think they’ll cancel the others.
Hopefully a minutes silence or something to acknowledge it, but I don’t think they’d cancel the other games.

This is all kinds of f'd up.

What kind of a son does that to a father…

Domestic violence, no one is immune to it.

What the actual? I’m just stunned.

RIP Phil.

One that needs to under go a psych test after getting caught.
Normal people don’t do that.

Wow this is terrible, staggering news. Condolences to all involved.

Absolutely stunned. Shock. But anger too. Hope the son gets beaten and raped every day of his life in jail. Fkn peice of sh*t. Noone deserves that. Noone has the right to kill their own father like that. Sickening

This is all kinds of f'd up.

What kind of a son does that to a father…

One with serious mental health issues, that we will never comprehend.
By way of remembrance the Crows and Port could play for the Phil Walsh medal in their annual derby, with a portion of the proceeds going to mental health research.

Very sad news. He seemed like a very nice bloke. RIP

As for cancelling the round or the game you might find the Crows players want to play. But at the end of the day its just a game. Events like this puts things into perspective.

Cancel the game or let the crows forfeit, don’t make them play on Sunday (unless they want to…)

I don’t think they will “force” the crows to play on Sunday.

They should just offer both clubs either a draw or to replay the match later in the year (but will probably have to be a Wednesday night)

Wouldn’t be surprised if an offer of 2 points each would come from Geelong.

Just staggering news, very sad for everyone involved - not sure players will cope with this

Holy crap. I will never understand this world.

RIP Phil and condolences to the family and friends.

Yeah replaying the match as a midweek game is the way to go in my book.
