• A man who chased his dreams
• Players share their grief over Walsh's death
• 'A crisis unprecedented': Crows come together
SCOTT Camporeale will coach Adelaide for the remainder of this season and insists there will be no deviation from the path Phil Walsh laid at the start of the year.
Camporeale will be joined by former West Coast coach John Worsfold, who has accepted a newly created position to be the club's director of coaching this season.
Camporeale said the players trained well on Monday morning and then spoke about the philosophy Walsh had spent nine months trying to instill in the group.
He said the players wanted to continue their former coach's plan.
"We had a bit of a discussion this morning and tried to just reflect on Phil's values that he left at this footy club," Camporeale said.
"The vision that Phil had nine months ago when I sat down with him in November was one of really clear messaging as to where we wanted to get to.
"That won't change, the players are really behind that, they want to live and breathe what Phil's put in place.
"At the end of the day we still need to move on, we've got a game this weekend that we need to start preparing for."

On Monday night, Camporeale acknowledged he was unsure whether the whole playing list would be available for selection in time for the game against the Eagles.
"I'm not really sure, to be quite honest, because they're all different," Camporeale told Channel Seven.
He said his main objective was to try to shift the players' focus, while continuing to honour Walshy's legacy.
"There's going to be a lot of firsts this week, which is going to be difficult," Camporeale said.
"When he [Walsh] came here, we had very similar philosophies on the game which was great and we gelled really well, so nothing will change in that respect.
"It's just a matter of trying to be really clear with our messaging, and not going over the top is probably going to be the hardest part."
Crows CEO Andrew Fagan said Camporeale was a respected figure with an astute football brain.
"Nine months ago we set out on a journey with Phil Walsh at the helm," Fagan said.
"We are all determined to continue pushing down that path, guided by his values of elite standards, hard work, attention to detail and a team-first attitude.
"Scott is well supported by David Teague, Darren Milburn and Matthew Clarke, and now John Worsfold adds further experience and insight."

Fagan approached Worsfold - the AFL Coaches Association chairman - on Sunday.
"John is a premiership coach who already has an understanding of our football program given he was briefly here on Walshy's invitation earlier this year," Fagan said.
"We are thrilled that he has agreed to join our club for the remainder of this season."
In a note to AFLCA members, Worsfold on Monday said taking on the role was his contribution to help out, and it seemed like the right thing to do under the circumstances.
"He has accepted this request to assist because the Crows’ coaching team is relatively inexperienced," AFLCA CEO Mark Brayshaw said.
"In light of his connection to Phil and recent time spent reviewing their program pre-season, he feels well placed to add value.
"John is not interested in the Adelaide senior coaching role or any other for that matter."
Worsfold won’t resign his chairmanship of the AFLCA but will abstain from all duties while he is with the Crows.
