The murder of Adelaide Crows coach Phil Walsh is a "crisis unprecedented", the AFL club's chairman Rob Chapman says.
A visibly-shaken Chapman says the club as a collective will try to "wrap our arms" around those affected by Walsh's killing.
"This is a crisis unprecedented, there is no rule book, and we are dealing with it," Chapman told reporters in Adelaide.
Walsh died from multiple stab wounds allegedly following an argument with his son, who has been charged with murder.
The 26-year-old son will face a hospital bedside court hearing later Friday.
The AFL has cancelled Adelaide's home game against Geelong on Sunday, but other matches will go ahead as scheduled.
"The point is just to get people through today," he said.
Crows chief executive Andrew Fagan said there was disbelief within the club.
"People are walking through the corridors just looking at each other, shaking their heads," he told reporters.
"It's really hard to comprehend.
"I can't speak for tomorrow ... we have got to get through today."
