John McCarthy passes away in Las Vegas. RIP

I wonder how the Collingwood list manager would feel after delisting him and having him sent off to Adelaide.

What a stupid comment

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

All but one media outlet handled this a lot better than many of us thought that they would, which we should also acknowledge. The one media outlet who was pathetic is feeling the backlash from fans, which is good to hear.

One media outlet contacted me an hour before the name was revealed trying to get a hold of Johns partner and wanted her number to do an interview.

The Advertiser is a disgrace.

Geez that's low. Can that be reported to anyone? Good man for not giving in to them, media outlets rely on people wanting to be part of the story and having their 15mins.

 

[yakka man]

Absolutely awful and sad news.

RIP John and best wishes to his family and friends.

 

[Gibbsy]

Why? It's a completely stupid and irrelevant thing to do.

Just **** off will you. Do you have to question everything in this thread

 

[gravy]

So sad, gone to soon, RIP.

Report it Mediawatch.

He was found around 5am and he was in Vegas, i think it's safe to assume he was doing what every young bloke does on a footy trip having a few drinks. Everyone does it at some stage it's just a tragedy that occasionally an accident like this happens. Terrible news.

Don't blame the alcahol though, it's never the alcohols fault.
Do you think "every young bloke does on a footy trip" and "Everyone does it" is good enough?
Expensive drink I reckon. Very sad.

 

[Blood Bath]

my attitude right now - who cares about footy
R.I.P

 

[Salisbury]

Simply gutted by this story. A young man with his whole life ahead of him cut short in tragic circumstances. Thoughts are with his family, friends and teammates in this difficult time. RIP.

 

[SOPH_CROSS]

Im just gutted about this
He's just one year younger than me
Life is so unfair at times
My heart goes to everyone feeling the hurt about this
Makes you stop and think that footy isnt everything! Makes me have so much more respect for all the men that play the sport i love so much! Just hope they all know how much they mean to me!

RIP Jmac xx

 

[tigers_of_old_08]

A tragedy for John, his family as well as the wider football community

A life of a talented young footballer cut short

Rest In Peace, John McCarthy

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

RIP John. condolences to the family, friends and footy club.

Sounds like a strange incident, but I guess that sort of shite happens in Vegas. Sad that a young guy goes out to have a good time and one mistake costs him his life.

Bunch of scumbags, what sort of a half-decent human being would think that is acceptable behaviour ?.

Terrible, terrrible news, feel so sorry for the family.

 

[The Prosecutor]

It's the only thing I've questioned in this thread?

Seriously, if you're going to be this emotional over a comment like that, maybe you should log off for a few hours.

The man fell, it's no reason for a completely different to avoid an entire town, it's not like he was infected with the bird flu.

 

[Cyclonus]

Hard to believe. Terrible news.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

My condolences to his family & friends.

A grand final win means SFA when it comes to life.

 

[Natho]

This news is just devastating. So sad losing a young footballer from the game we love.

My thoughts are with his family and friends. I hope the Port boys can support each other and work through this.

Media Watch. Some of things I've seen today disgust me to the point where I don't think I want to be a journalist if this is what I'm expected to do. Utter filth.

 

[BEEG]

Did Maguire have to make this about Collingwood FFS. My God, had to stop the car I was so angry.

Come on be realistic his president of the club JMac played 4 years at it would be disgraceful if Collingwood didn't acknowledge his time at our club

Alot of his friends which are Pie players have come out with tweets paying there respects are they making it about Collingwood

So why do you think they've cancelled their trip then you smartasse? Coincidence? Haha ok

If you use social media it's not hard to crank up the heat yourself these days.

Get the name of the reporter and call for their head. Watch the mob take over.

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

Have reported it to a few places, including media watch.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Are you illiterate or something?

Of course they canceled the trip because of this incident. I'm saying that it is stupid to avoid the city over an isolated incident which could've happened absolutely anywhere.

 

[Xtreme]

dont make assumptions when we have no idea what happened.

Well i don't think he was pushed or murdered..... ?

It's a sad story, but its the circle of life.
