The tragic death of former football star Cam McCarthy has moved AFL legend Dermott Brereton. McCarthy was at the GWS Giants in 2014 and 2015 and crossed paths with Brereton who had been hired by the club to mentor their young players.
Fremantle players in tears during Cam McCarthy tribute. Brereton, one of the greatest forwards of all time, naturally spent time with the young goalkicker who was finding his feet in the game after he was drafted with pick 14 in 2013. Speaking on radio station SEN on Saturday, Brereton said the scenes at the beginning of the Friday night clash between Fremantle and Sydney made him emotional.
