ADELAIDE captain Taylor Walker says the Crows must remain tight-knit and stick together in the wake of the tragic death of coach Phil Walsh.

Speaking on the club's website, Walker said he felt the players were lucky to be part of a team where people could lean on each other for support.

“When we heard the news, everyone took it their own way but it’s a pretty numb feeling at the moment. When you lose your head honcho, it hits you pretty hard,” he said.

Walker said the reaction to Walsh's death from the AFL world was testament to the coach's impact.

“I think you only have to look at the support we’ve had over the last 24 hours from external people,” he said.

“He (had the) ability to come in (to our club), and in nine months have an influence on every single person and that’s not only the players but admin staff and support staff at this footy club.

“He’s just a great man and one that I started to fall in love with.”

Walker said the players and coaches had started to reflect on their memories of Walsh.

“I had many conversations with him. One that sticks in my mind is when he told me not to ring him after eight o’clock because that’s his bed time,” he said.

“There are a lot of stories like that. Over the next week, two weeks and however long it takes, I’ll sit back and reflect on the memories and what I experienced with Walshy.”

Adelaide's home match on Sunday against Geelong has been abandoned but chairman Rob Chapman says the club will travel to play West Coast in Perth next weekend.

He says the Crows will probably appoint an interim senior coach on Sunday.

"A few of us gathered this morning to discuss that very issue," Chapman told ABC radio on Saturday.

"It's impossible to go external so people within the club will step up. Everyone is going to have to take on big responsibilities."

The Crows' hierarchy were bunkered at their West Lakes headquarters on Saturday for further emergency meetings on how to deal with the tragedy.

"It's not something you can plan for," Crows chief executive Andrew Fagan told reporters outside the club.

Players arrived from 8am, passing a makeshift shrine to Walsh at the door to the club where fans had laid hundreds of flowers, cards, football jumpers, scarves and beanies.

"We wanted to make sure everyone was OK and remind them of the support services that are available," Fagan said.

"And have a couple of meetings and do a little bit of exercise as a way of working through the grief process and returning to a routine that they are used to."

The AFL is staging other matches this weekend and Fagan said the Crows were touched by Friday night's tribute to Walsh by Collingwood and Hawthorn after their MCG game.

"It has been overwhelming," he said.
