Mass and memorial service to remember McCarthy
There is to be a memorial service this week for Port Adelaide footballer John McCarthy, who died in Las Vegas in an early morning fall.
The service will be at Port's home ground, Alberton Oval, on Thursday morning, at the same time as his funeral mass in his home community of Sorrento in Victoria.
The Adelaide public event is expected to include a live video feed from the mass.
Port Adelaide Football Club chaplain Brandon Chaplin will lead the memorial service.
Port CEO Keith Thomas said the Alberton service would let supporters, the club and the wider public honour McCarthy's life and be a part of the Sorrento mass.
"John had a remarkable impact at Port Adelaide in his first season with us and that extended from within the club to our members, supporters and the broader football public," he said.
"We know that all of those people are deeply saddened by the John's passing so it is fitting that we can invite the public to a club memorial and also provide a connection with the service in Sorrento for those who wish to observe it."

Footy-mad Tiwi Islands want ferry service back
The Tiwi Islands Shire Council says the local community has been left in the lurch by a decision to cancel all ferry services between Darwin and the islands.
Council chief executive officer Alan Hudson says it will particularly affect the Tiwi football grand final, which usually attracts hundreds of spectators from the mainland.
He says the ferry service is a vital link for people on the islands.
"The previous operator, of course, said 'well, if I'm not going to operate the Mandorah ferry, I'm not operating anything'," he said.
"Had a dummy spit.
"We have spoken to the operators of Fast Ferries who are the new Mandorah ferry operators.
"That was some weeks ago.
"At this stage we simply have not heard back from them."
Fast Ferries told the ABC it wants to get a service going to the Tiwi Islands but needs to overcome several obstacles first.
Spokesman Kym Lennox says the company is considering running several services between Darwin and Bathurst Island on the Tiwis grand final day.
"There are a couple of challenges in terms of access to the Tiwi Islands terminal because it is not there anymore," he said.
