In the most trying of circumstances through 2012 culminating in todays terrible events KT has been exemplary in his manner and handling of situations.

The McCarthy family are part of the Port Adelaide family and I wish them all the support and comfort they need in the most devastating of times.

It will be a very strange weekend of footy coming up.

it was a very sad day for football. Just to think that a mate from my work was going to be joining that party as he is good friends with one of the players but he couldn't get the time off work. I would think that our shop would have closed down as we wouldn't have been able to work.

You just hate to hear this news of any football player no matter if he is from your club that you support or you dislike. McCarthy was finally having a break out year with his new club and would have taken another step next year.
