News Vale John McCarthy

[Stromageddon]

This still doesn't seem real. I know this will sound stupid, but he looks so alive in the videos and photos. It's just... such a horrible, horrible day. I really feel for his family and friends.

RIP Johnny Mac.

 

[MelbourneCrow]

So sorry that you lost JMac. Gone too soon.

The pain John's family would be experiencing would be unbearable.

I just hope one day, when the time is right, that they read this thread. It may give them a small amount of comfort, knowing that the Port fans and the wider football community have been deeply touched by his tragic and untimely death.

R.I.P John McCarthy, thoughts go out to his family, friends and the Port Adelaide FC. Such a tragedy.

When I found out about this, I felt numb. It's so easy to forget just how quickly life can be ripped away and it's at times like this that things get put into perspective and remember that it's important to live life as best you can while you still have the chance because you never know what tomorrow might bring.

 

[Moses01]

So very, very sad I can't believe it

 

[Hodges 153!]

Yeah, I don't use social media at all (except LinkedIN)... sure someone else here could do the honors.

Done.

 

[Calypso]

Shocking news. Thought he was coming to Richmond last year, so liked him and stayed interested in his progress at Port. Heard only good things about him; good footballer, and always thought he has such a characterful face. Condolences, strength and comfort to his family, girlfriend, friends and all at Port.

Deepest sympathy to his family and friends , we all emotionally invest so much in our team and players that we feel we in some part know them so when something like this happens it hurts so much .

 

[Hellgood]

Done.

Good stuff mate, I hope something comes of it.

 

[PattyKwasagun]

Knew nothing about him, but have, like everyone in the footy world, been rattled by this all day.

360 did a montage of John with this song as the backing. Just seems perfect.



Rest in peace, John. Your memory will live on for many years to come.

 

[SOPH_CROSS]

All my love to the club and fans and anyone hurting by this horrible moment
Gutted what a beautiful soul taken away xx

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

I just feel so sad about John.
I never met him, but I know some Collingwood players, so I can only imagine how they are feeling let alone his family.

I will learn from John (Not trying to start anything rumor-wise) but next time I'm out with friends, and we have a few drinks, I'll keep an extra eye on my friends.
John McCarthy is now a hero to me on and off the field.

I will end with, if John's family and friends ever read this, be proud!
And the Collingwood, Richmond, Port Adelaide and Sorrento football clubs should be proud too!

I think tomorrow morning I will hug my best friend harder and longer than ever and kiss her on the cheeck and remind her I love her.

 

[Stiffy_18]

My condolences to the McCarthy family, friends, the PAFC and the supporters. This is a huge tragedy. I felt sick when I heard about it.

You feel for everyone involved but especially his parents and siblings who would be going through absolute torture!

Luke DJWiz Foster needs his head caved in.

Nope, he needs his hands cut off so that every time he needs to take a shit someone else has to wipe his arse for him.

Amazing song.
Tears are flowing once again

Ch 9 reporter Robert Penfold has tweeted the picture of the tree and balcony where John's body was found. Picture and tweet from Ben Wise (no idea who he is) is on the main board thread. Penfold has put this up within the last 20 minutes.

I would rather his arse cheeks are sown together.

Tredders knows who I am, so he'll take some notice I hope.

 

[powermacs]

Felt like crap all day. Never thought a death of someone I've never met could affect me this much. Just watched 360 and lost it at the end when they played a montage to John. #RipJMAC

Yeah, i'm hearing talk he actually fell from a palm tree?

 

[Kickpuncher]

If someone could be kind enough to post the montage that they showed on 360 that would be great.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Heart goes out to the players, the club and his family. A tragedy.

Vale John McCarthy

Ben Wise is a good guy. He worked in digital media production at 3AW, and now at MMM.
