Former Fremantle and Greater Western Sydney forward Cam McCarthy has passed away, aged 29. The West Australian-born footballer was drafted by GWS with pick No. 14 at the 2013 national draft. He played 21 games for the Giants before requesting a trade back to his home state, citing homesickness. After a trade didn't eventuate, and McCarthy took time away from the AFL, before being picked up by Fremantle in 2017. The talented forward played 49 games for Fremantle in four seasons from 2017 before being delisted at the end of the 2020 season. McCarthy, who has been remembered as a talented, kind and 'easy-going' person, was found unresponsive in his home in Perth on Thursday evening and was unable to be revived.
Swamped by Secret Service, United States Vice-President, Joe Biden, took in the sights of his first ever Aussie rules football game when Carlton took on West Coast at the MCG this afternoon. After being greeted on the sidelines pre-game by AFL CEO Gil Mclachlan and AFL Commissioner Mike Fitzpatrick, Biden ventured out to the centre of the oval to meet with the match’s officiating umpires as well as Carlton captain Marc Murphy, who presented him with a Blues guernsey during their chat. Biden, who is in Australia for four days, also attended a luncheon at the ground before settling into the members’ reserve seating with two of the AFL’s American players, Collingwood’s Mason Cox and Carlton rookie Matt Korchek.

"She was a shining comet that soared through this world, casting her radiant light of love on all she met. Though that comet has now shattered into a million pieces, the memory of it will remain a beacon for all women in high profile sports to strive to excel, to dare to be great while staying humble and proud" - Jacinda Barclay's Whanau.
Hearts are broken and tributes are flowing this morning, following the news that Jacinda Barclay, a foundation member of the GWS Giants AFLW team, has passed away overnight at the age of 29. A talent sportswoman, football was the third sport Barclay played at the elite level. She featured in five World Cups for the Australian women's baseball team, winning a silver and two bronze, and represented the Chicago Bliss in the Legends Football; wherein she won a championship as the Bliss' quarterback in her first season. But it was in Aussie Rules where Barclay's passion was most evident and wherein she received the most recognition. Returning to Australia from the USA in 2016, she was selected by the Giants with the 9th overall selection in the augural AFLW draft. Across her four seasons at the elite level, she played 23 of a possible 28 games as the Giants go-to forward. Today, as we try to accept the premature death of a much-loved pioneer of women's sports, her former teammates have taken to social media to remember their beloved friend; with Steph Mur, a teammate of Barclay's at the Bliss, describing her as a "fearless leader [and] all-round badass person". Giants CEO Dave Matthews spoke on behalf of his club to declare that Barclay "will always be a vital part of our club. More than that though, Jacinda's spirit and infectious personality made her a popular and unforgettable member of the Giants family". Rest in Peace, Barcs. You are already missed so dearly ❤️ *If you or anyone you know needs immediate support, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or via lifeline.org.au.

AFL announces Victoria v All Stars match on February 28 and contributes massive $2.5m to bushfire relief
The AFL has announced a landmark "State of Origin" match to raise funds for the Australian bushfire disaster, in addition to contributing a monster donation to support relief efforts. The league ($1.35m) – in association with the clubs ($900,000) and AFL Players Association ($250,000) – have committed a $2.5million donation; a total of $1m will provide immediate emergency assistance through the Australian Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery fund. An additional $1.5m will kickstart the Community Relief Fund for grassroots facilities. In the upcoming match, Victoria will play an All Stars line-up on Friday February 28 at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium, with money raised to boost a Community Relief Fund set-up by the AFL to help rebuild football facilities ripped apart by the national crisis. Richmond premiership coach Damien Hardwick will lead the Victorians and Sydney counterpart John Longmire will coach the All Stars; a maximum of three players per AFL team will be eligible for selection so as to not interrupt their team's preseason preparation. Additionally, the AFLW match between Collingwood and Melbourne scheduled for the same day at Victoria Park will now be played at Marvel Stadium to create a double header. If you are unable to attend the match and would like to contribute to supporting those in this time of crisis, here is how you can help:
