Condolences to his friends, acquaintances, etc. at the Pies.
Absolute tragedy.
Absolute tragedy.
Sad day as he was so young and much to offer. Was an emergency in the 2010 team. Had so much potential .. too young. . I hope the pies can do it for him this week and beyond and his mates at port who wouldve witnessed the event.

So shocked to hear about any death but when it's someone you feel you know (exPie) it makes it all the more gut wrenching. Boys will feel pretty gutted too cause he still has a lot of mates at CFC. RIP mate

I don't think clubs should be saying who is suffering a bigger loss.
It's crap for his family and all the players and people he's influenced!
RIP. Condolences to everyone who knows him.

Such a horrible situation.
Apparently had already made some really close mates at Port, yet still has tonnes at the Pies. Rocks two teams, as well as the league.

I remember when he kicked that first goal against the Crows last year, the game that turned out to be the famous Shaw/Maxy betting game. I wonder how pissed Heater was that he stole Maxy's first goal.
RIP John.

Very sad. He seemed like a great guy and while it didn't work out at Collingwood, he was certainly becoming a good player at Port. Condolences to his family and friends.
Sincere condolences to family, friends, current and past players and those that new him well. My god it's at times like this that it brings life into perspective.
Go home tonight and tell you're family and friends how much you love them.
RIP JMac

Totally agree, it wasn't my intention to get into a pissing contest.
No doubt hs junior teammates throughout the league, in addition to current teammates and Pies players.
Not to mention his talented young musician girlfriend.
Just shocking news.

Absolutely, it is a tragedy for the AFL full stop no matter the club.

Can we follow the protocol of others and maybe delete references to the person's name until confirmed all family have been advised? That or put this one on ice until then.
We can give condolences later on when all is confirmed.

Shocking news :-( I went to alot of VFL a few years back when John was playing. Always played well and gave his 100% every week. Unfortuntely it didn't work out for him and he was starting to blossom at Port. Condolences to Johns family and friends. Hopefully the boys can get a win for him this week.

I think so, don't know if mods can hide it.
There will be a chance to give condolences and while I realise some people on twitter keep mentioning the name, most media is not running with the name out of respect for the family and friends. Won't stop everything, but at least we'd be doing our bit.
No ill feelings toward UI at all by the way for opening thread, just a suggestion after some consideration of the issue.

The cat is out of the bag now. Multiple threads across multiple boards naming him. Major facebook groups/pages naming him. Trending on Twitter...nothing really to be gained by locking now, people will just starting new threads.

There are no words at a time like this that can convey just how much of a tragedy this is
Even thought he is an ex-player he would still have a lot of close contacts still at your club. My deepest sympathies go out to to the club from it's players, staff and supporters and to members of the family as well for their loss
RIP
