Recommitted Charlie Cameron [re-signed]

[Elmer_Judd]

It's behind a paywall, but have been reliably informed it's North Melbourne.

Seems a bit strange to me, given they already have Tarryn Thomas, that they would be making such a huge offer to CC, but I am as sure as the Sky is Blue that Charlie will stay up at Brisbane.

No harm in asking the question, but I firmly believe North have far more pressing needs that need addressing elsewhere.

The old North Melbourne kiss of death, the sure way of knowing a player will re-sign

Ah yes, the classic North Melbourne War Chest, open for the...5th time in a row now?

 

[Harris Specter]

Haha North are interested?

Confirm the Lions will re-sign him in the coming weeks.

 

[Sherrinator]

It’s almost like North want to reward their loyal fans by being garbage forever.

 

[The Nostradamus]

War chest is growing

Think he will stay at Brisbane but a team like North would be in the mix, again. Lack a genuine small forward and would fit their needs very well.

Reliably informed?

About to re-sign with Brisbane.

That one was over before it even began.

Wait so they can’t have more than one aboriginal player in their team?

Correct, the quota has been filled.

Elmer_Judd Time for a new source?

Elmer_Judd Time for a new source?

The source just said it was North Melbourne that was the Vic Club making a massive offer for Charlie, I never said he was going to leave Brisbane, where he has firmly established as a fan favourite up there..

Deserves his new mega deal with the Lions. Has really reignited your footy club

Electric forward Charlie Cameron is set to recommit to a lucrative long-term extension at Brisbane Lions, thwarting any chance of a poaching raid.
The Lions are keen to lock away the gun goal kicker on a four or five-year deal that will ensure Cameron plays out the prime part of his career up north.

Cameron’s manager Andrew McDougall from Corporate Sports Australia is in the final stages of talks on a deal that could be finalised within the next fortnight.

The new contract is set to include a decent pay rise for the sharpshooter who was on about $650,000 a year as the Herald Sun revealed in its top-100 AFL earners investigation.

It is understood Cameron will earn upwards of $7500,000 a year as part of the new deal, underlining his status as one of the most damaging and exciting forwards in the game.

The former Crows’ livewire has slotted 15 goals from eight games to sit fourth in this year’s Coleman Medal race after booting 57 goals from 24 matches last season.
Cameron, 26, is contracted until the end of next season but Lions’ list manager Dom Ambrogio has moved quickly to cut off any interest from cashed-up Victorian rivals.
Cameron loomed as a potential target for North Melbourne and Carlton but the speedster will stay up north to help spearhead the Lions’ finals assault over the next four to five years.

Recruiters and list managers have labelled quick and dangerous small forwards who pile on the defensive pressure and trap the ball forward an increasingly important piece in the premiership list build.

His signature will be another list management win for the Lions after pulling off one of the most shrewd recruiting moves of recent seasons last year when they nabbed Lachie Neale from Fremantle.
The ball magnet has flourished in his second season at Fremantle and has stormed into a clear $2.50 favourite for the Brownlow Medal (TAB) ahead of Geelong’s Patrick Dangerfield ($8).
The Lions also have significant salary cap space to be an active player in this year’s exchange period.

Well that was quick.

 

[iBeng]

Yummy, nothingburger!

 

[Prochard123]

Honestly he's worth 900k + a year. One of the very few players who can win a game single handedly.

 

[Rich01]

Missed this news. Great for the Lions.
Always exciting to watch. You have to reward the matchwinners.

 

[Taylor]

Love him as a player, cringe every time he revs his motorbike on both hands - which because of the talent is frequently a game.
