Phil Walsh memorial on Wednesday

Hundreds of AFL identities will join some of Phil Walsh’s family at a private memorial service for the slain AFL coach on Wednesday.

Walsh was allegedly murdered by his 26-year-old son on July 3.

His wife Meredith and daughter Quinn will attend the service, though son Cy remains in a secure psychiatric facility after being charged with murder.

He has not entered a plea and is due to appear in court in September.

A church funeral for Walsh, a 55-year-old who was in his first season as coach of the Adelaide Crows, was held last Friday.

Wednesday’s memorial at Adelaide Oval is expected to include guests from the AFL and all its clubs, as well as Crows players and staff, and other football identities who knew Walsh from his 32-year playing and coaching career in the AFL.
