VALE CAM McCARTHY
Thursday, May 9, 2024 - 9:31 PM
The South Fremantle Football Club is deeply saddened by the passing of former player Cam McCarthy. 
A South zoned junior from the South Coogee JFC, McCarthy was drafted pick 14 in 2013 to the GWS Giants direct from the South Colts program, before returning to WA in 2017 to play with the Fremantle Dockers.
In 2021, Cam rejoined South Fremantle and played WAFL footy in both the 2021 & 2022 seasons. 
Cam is remembered not just as a prodigious football talent, but as a popular, compassionate and caring person who had time for everyone at our Club.
He will be dearly missed. 
The entire South Fremantle Football Club community offers condolences to the McCarthy family at this difficult time. 

this is a bloody big jolt and I am quite sincerely very concerned for his family at this moment
geez footy can be a cruel thing and it can affect some deeply
this is a lad gone and it isn't right

and again all the very best to the McCarthy families
what a sad day

That's terrible news. Deepest condolences to Cam's family and friends. When these things happen, it really puts a human side to footy in that they're not just players chasing a leather ball, they're real people dealing with life's complexities and everything else that goes with it.

I still have vivid memories of having a chat to Shane Yarran, his partner and small child at Lathlain one day before he was drafted. Such a quietly spoken, nice young fella who had the world before him.

Same goes for Cam in that it's just a shame there wasn't the help and support he needed to get him through these troubled times.

RIP Cam.

Mental health is a huge problem in this country. And is imperative anybody in the situation really needs to try and get good help.

the VFL has this blood on their hand
there were several medical approaches to get the kid back home and every time the VFL blocked it and made sure he sufferedall because of their almighty draft
you know the one - the most compromised and manipulated unit in any world sport out there
arsehole's league that just doesn't care
