We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Robert Walls — a true legend of the game, a revered player, coach, and commentator whose impact on Australian football spanned generations.

Robert’s contribution to the AFL was immense, marked by his passion, integrity, and deep understanding of the sport. He leaves behind a legacy that will forever be etched in the fabric of our game.

Our thoughts are especially with our Head of Personnel, David Walls, and the entire Walls family during this difficult time. We stand with you in mourning the loss of a great man, and celebrating a life so richly lived.

Rest in peace, Wallsy.
