Awful bloody news. Was great to hear that JMac had found a secure spot on Ports team after a very injury interrupted start with the pies. I'm sure he'd still have plenty of mates at Collingwood. RIP i hope your club gets through this awful time.

I was sooking about finals ticketing just 20 minutes ago, this puts that into perspective big time though. Just horrible sickening sad news. I live in Adelaide and as such follow the Crows & Port news closely. Port as a club, the familys tied to it and fans supporting it have had a shocking couple of years and my condolences cannot be extended enough to you all. Particularly to close family and friends who have lost someone way too soon.

 

[StrappingTape]

This puts the choking squabbles we have with our neighbours into perspective for the minor stuff it is. Sometimes that can feel like the most important thing in the world but wow this is just terrible

[aussiebob14]

Horrible news, sad to hear that the name has been leaked already given that the family is yet to be fully informed.
One would think that this could lead to a change in the way that players conduct their end of season trips.

Very sad news. Condolences to friends and family, and the PAFC also.

Hard to believe.
Sad loss to your club (and mine) but at 22 it's a sad loss to much more than footy.

He was still just 22. Am so devastated.

[finbarr]

I don't know what to say. I never imagined this sort of news about someone I've never met would affect me in such a way. So sad and a stark reminder to all of us of how suddenly everything can be taken away.

Feel so terrible for his family and girlfriend first and foremost, and to our guys who witnessed this obviously shocking incident, I hope they're holding up ok.
