Recommitted Charlie Cameron [Signs until 2028]

[Midnite65]

Issue with trading Cameron is that I think we will think we are in contention next year, even despite what we've seen this year. I'm not saying we will be, but with Coleman and Doedee back from around the start of the year, Will Ashcoft with a full pre-season and Levi Ashcroft coming in, and a large bulk of our players in their prime, I think we'll try to bounce back and contend.

Think you could be in contention next year but likely you will need to say goodbye to the coach to do it.

Would say this is as nailed on of a trade as any being talked about. Wont dive into the rumors of his personal life as to why etc cos I think thats a bit dumb but yeah, he is off if they are true. No ifs buts or maybes about it

So when’s he leaving again?

Well then.

How do you go from "if they are true" to "No ifs" that quickly? It's a pretty rapid self-contradiction.

Man Freo fans suddenly think they have a chance to be relevant again and they think they become a destination club.

Cause that's what's really going on.

, I doubt they will go for Cameron now

 

[jasonrampage2010]

With freo now looking at shai bolton, I doubt they will go for Cameron now

Yeah because they were even a chance right ?

 

[freoforever94]

Yeah because they were even a chance right ?

Nothing wrong with asking the question whether or not there's a chance

 

[Freomaniac]

Keep in mind he will be 31 midway through next season

I don't care. Charlie Cameron is quality .

Yeah he will be 31 in the middle of next season. Considering he left the crows at the end of 2017 and 2018 was his 1st season in Brisbane, that means 2025 is his 8th season. That means he is a free agent

 

[Freomaniac]

I don't think he's having a mare of a season but I think 4-5 good years is a stretch. Two very good years (AA is behind him though) then it normally becomes pretty middling pretty quick.

I think his game goes a bit longer than Walters who is completely cooked already but it goes quick for quick players over 30

Ballantyne was 21 years old when he joined freos list in that legendary 2008 draft. Ballantyne was pick 21, Walters was pick 53.

Ballantyne was 32 when he retired at the end of 2019. You could make an argument he was on freos list one year too many.

 

[Freomaniac]

Freo with Cameron will be top 4 easy and they want our first pick too so that future second is not a good offer.

That's what they all say. Freo with Cameron doesn't make Freo top 4. It increases freos chances to make finals.

Also there's a history of these type of trades backfiring in the dockers faces

 

[Wizard]

But he’s not disgruntled and doesn’t want out. He was using Freo as the bait for a new deal with Brisbane. Plenty of players engage with other teams for this very reason. It’s his managers modus operandi.

Your post proves my original point.

You know this to be fact? Or just speculating like everyone else?

Rock solid, straight from horse's mouth.
I'm Charlie Cameron.

 

[Freomaniac]

What makes you think any of those are coming to Fremantle

With cam Zuhaar I can understand why he would leave North and flee back to WA to join west coast or Freo.

Zuhaar is a free agent. He has done his 8 years and rotted at North.

The other blokes needed to be traded in.

 

[Tugga27]

So when’s he leaving again?

The poster you're replying to tries to make out he's "In the loop", but he's not.

Has postered several trades previously on the WC board that are "done deals" only for nothing to eventuate.

I'd take whatever he says with a grain of salt.

 

[Vindicater]

Can't really see him going anywhere. Surely he sees it out.

 

[Tom14]

Colin Young playbook 101: leak that there is interest from rival clubs, negotiate a contract extension in the meantime. Like clockwork.

 

[Elixuh]

Bit of a shame for the Freo posters making made up in the know posts, especially the one that suggested there was all this baggage associated with Charlie

Great result for the lions.

Was just thinking that Charlie had been looking increasingly gruntled over the past few weeks.

Now we know why.

 

[iBeng]

Freo fans in shambles, dynasty over.

 

[blueiris]

I thought the most Interesting link for Charlie was Collingwood great news for Lions expect him to play at he's best now that he's happy at the Lions much like Clug did

Slim to none Freo supporters ever thought he was leaving and next to none cared when he got the extension. Its not anything against the Lions, Cameron or even their Lions supporters. Cameron's manager Colin Young has used media to get extensions for many of his clients (including freop players) many times before so most of us knew what was going on.
