Ex-Fremantle Docker and GWS Giants forward, Cam McCarthy, has been caught driving while drunk, with eight times the legal limit of alcohol in his system. 7NEWS
According to The West Australian, McCarthyMcCarthy was eight times over the legal limit when police pulled him over.McCarthy, 28, joined Fremantle under controversial circumstances for the start of the 2017 season.
A former high draft pick, he wanted to leave GWS at the end of the 2015 season, but the Giants wanted to keep the forward, who had been one of the club’s leading goal kickers that year.He was then granted indefinite leave in 2016 to deal with “personal issues” and did not play a game that season before joining the Dockers for the start of 2017.
But more drama came in 2020, and after just one game to his name that year, McCarthy quit Fremantle halfway through the season. It was reported at the time that Fremantle was not prepared to offer McCarthy a new contract at season’s end, so the player walked.“On that basis, Cam and his management discussed the situation with his family, and subsequently informed the club that he would like to seek an early release from his contract, which was mutually agreed to by all parties,” Bell said at the time.
McCarthy then played for South Fremantle in the WAFL but quit that club as well after a poor showing in the 2020 season-opener.
