 Shocking.

His son charged with murder.

My thoughts go out to the family and the Adelaide Football club. Such tragedy.

His wife was also stabbed.

I have only read that she is in hospital with "non life threatening injuries."  I'm not going to indulge in guesswork, but we have been told so little about the incident that  if these injuries are not in fact  stab wounds then it might lead to speculation about motive.

According to the link in the OP, the wife has stab wounds

to the thighs

The game between Adelaide and Geelong has been cancelled this weekend as respect for the club and players.

(GP, I get you were probably only making the point that the media is constantly out for headlines and seem to lack sincerity. I also get upset at how the media behaves most of the time.)

It's an all round tragedy whatever happened and unfortunately effects many innocent people as well.

Phil Walsh coached at many clubs and was involved coaching Port Adelaide to their only Premiership.

I believe he was there for 10 years.

Without knowing much about him, I would say, a great man lost.

Seems a terrible  thing. Looks like mental illness may be involved as son is sedated in a mental health  unit and cannot even instruct lawer. I notice  most cases you have a parent stabbed by a child it is due to mental illness .

Gosh the whole thing is sad. For a son to kill his dad and injure his mother. Meanwhile the daughter is on holidays in the US and is informed of it all by police over the phone.
