Fans have flocked to an Adelaide Crows training session as the emotional aftermath to the death of coach Phil Walsh continues.

The Crows staged their main training session at their West Lakes headquarters on Wednesday and players were overwhelmed by the show of support, with approximately 3,000 people in attendance.

“It was fantastic to see so many supporters come out and watch us train,” midfielder Scott Thompson told reporters.

“You look back since the events and the amount of love and support that we have seen from the whole football community … has been overwhelming.”

Walsh was allegedly murdered by his 26-year-old son last Friday.

Thompson said the players were still dealing with their grief in different ways but were resolved to return to action against West Coast on Saturday.

“The feel I have at the moment is the group is in the best possible place,” Thompson said.

“We have had a couple of training runs this week and the fact we have been around each other a fair bit had been really important.

“I’m looking forward to getting back out there again and sticking tight with the team.

“It’s a day-by-day thing with the other boys. Everyone deals with their emotions in their own ways.”

Adelaide’s scheduled home game against Geelong last Sunday was abandoned after the death of Walsh, a 55-year-old in his first season as Crows coach.
