[Orange crush]

Terrible day for everyone involved with Cam …. Hope he rests easy

 

[Cameron_K]

This one hurts a lot, have to feel for his family and the players who were close with him.

 

[largebus]

Will never forget this goal. Rest easy mate

 

[Lach72]

Faarrrk.
That’s just heart breaking

 

[BStaff17]

Another heartbreaking story i feel for everyone involved.

I hope Cam rests easy.

Its probably not the right time and i do apologize as its not in mean taste or anything just a question.

But we have lost 4 players who were on our list in the past 10 years since 2018.

How many other clubs have lost players that have been on there list in the same time-frame.

Sometimes these things are just tragically coincidental. But gee it always seems like these tragic stories are ex Freo Players.

So sad, condolences to the entire Freo and GWS families

 

[Van_Dyke]

will never forget how fun this day was

 

[passmark]

Terrible news .

Seemed like such a genuine guy just loving footy.

Condolences to all. Awful news.

 

[David Bubb]

Will never forget this goal. Rest easy mate

One of my favourite footy memories. i had just turned 18 and went on my first "footy holiday" with a few mates over to Melbourne. Was at this game and proceeded to watch the highlights about 20 times in my hotel room that night. RIP Cam.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Oh man I can’t believe this. How crushing for everyone that knew and loved him.

 

[Eski3]

Was amongst a lot of Freo fans favourite ex-players, a real cult hero and super popular. This is gutting. RIP

 

[Lach72]

will never forget how fun this day was

Bloke coulda been anything.

Goddammit

 

[FreoGirl]

OMG that's such horrible news

 

[westhawk]

Such sad news . RIP Cam.

 

[Cobbler]

This does hit hard.
Makes me want to change how I approach posting. They’re just blokes playing a game and trying their best.
I gave Logue a serve for ages. Feel horrible.
Chance to reflect for everyone.

I haven't changed my Big Footy profile pic for a couple years, won't be changing it anytime soon now either. Sad day. RIP Dardy McCrafty

we actually have a framed picture of him in his Freo gear (like in your pic)

 

[Minz]

Freo has too many of these stories in the last few years. Bugger.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Unbelievably tragic news.. this is hitting hard. RIP Cam.

 

[BettercallSaul]

Vale Cam.

 

[freo84]

I just read the news.....Devastating.

RIP Cam.

 

[Gimme the Fyfe]

Seeing this knocked the wind out of me.

Always saw this young man as a bit of a lost soul.

God bless you Cam, your family and friends too.

Everyone out there going through struggles, remember to hold onto hope that LIFE DOES GET BETTER.

Life is a precious thing - keep the faith

Rest easy Cam.

Is it a bias or does it seem that our club has had a disproportionate number of deaths/suicides?

 

[FD2646]

Feel terrible for his family and friends - including blokes like Banfield, Fyfe, Walters, Darcy and anyone else who was on the list with him. Hope those playing tonight honour his memory. RIP Cam.
