[cammo78]

Just a rumour...

 

[The Falcon Strike]

hopefully not true

amen to that

 

[cfc4life]

Knew it would be a footy player as soon as it broke. Hope he's ok.

 

[The Prosecutor]

I know a lot of Essendon players were meant to be over there or heading there this week.

Bulldogs as well.

 

[Black Panther]

Reports @PAFC's John McCarthy has had a serious accident in las Vegas. More to come. @9NEWSADEL

 

[fpm84]

Hope he is OK.

The name Fevola sprang straight to mind for some reason.

Another pointing to Port player:

@BrettAndersonIF
Port player involved in serious incident in Las Vegas? Details sketchy at this stage. Stay tuned.

 

[Clay Davis]

Sheeeit.

First thought was that it was a Melbourne player (like more trouble's necessary this year) as I heard a few of them were travelling over there after the season, but this word about McCarthy...the only name that's surfaced from anything.

Do hope it's nothing serious.

 

[fpm84]

A couple of people on Twitter claiming McCarthy has died, fingers crossed there's no truth in it.

 

[fpm84]

Shit. Herald-Sun headline now "AFL player has died in Vegas."

 

[rgauci]

Hope this isn't true

 

[Eth]

****...I sincerely hope that this isn't true.

Mark Stevens reporting an AFL player has died.

 

[Igloo]

Freaking out right now. I know some of our guys are there, but any club it's horrible. ****

 

[the_interloper]

First thought was that one of the Paralympians pissing up after the Paralympics had mucked up, hope this story isn't true.

 

[QS]

Terrible news if true.

 

[brendan84]

Holy shit
