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."
