News Update: Charles Cameron traded to Brisbane for Pick 12

[Kerleys Ghost]

I don't know what our trade plans are, so it's possible that we give up 12 if there's other aspects to the deal. But in terms of a straight 12 for Cameron swap, I'd be 100% confident in saying it won't happen. Not claiming any inside word, just can't see it happening at all.

Wrong

 

[Discarnate]

Really enjoyed watching Cameron come on for us as a player, not many guys come into the league and perform like he did right away (the Collingwood debut steal and dupe and run still a favorite memory). Hope he continues to make highlight plays and be a good reason for Brisbane fans to come to games. Rated him and would have liked to keep despite the inconsistency.

I still love Charles. Always exciting to watch, always seemed like a fun, genuine bloke. I have a bad feeling he'll regret this move on a personal level. Hope not. Want to see him play long and prosper.

 

[VKCrow]

Nah, you enjoy him. Great player to watch.

Just needs to learn how to kick

 

[Captain Morgan]

I like to sit at home in the dark with the curtains closed and watch the replay of the PF and pretend it's the GF.

You don't want to know what I do.

 

[BigHippy]

Wrong

Turn back time and I'd say it again...y'know, hence me coming in here and saying I felt we massively overpaid.
Honestly it's a bit sad you went looking for that post/bumped it, but to each his own.
Enjoy pick 12.

If it's in any way related to your avatar then you're right, I don't.

I really, really don't.

 

[AdvancedCrowbot]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but basically Port losing their first final upgraded this pick from 14 to 12. Cheers Port!

 

[macca23]

Word from our side of the camp is we haven't offered 12 and won't be.

Oh yes you will ..... and you did

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I'm going to go on record here - Cameron will be an absolute bust at Brisbane.

The x-factor, in and out of games type of player Cameron is, will do well in a strong team with good structure. They don't do well in weaker teams.

Whether our draft pick turns out good or not, you just don't give up pick 12 for a player like Cameron at their stage of development.

Stupid error by Brisbane.

Is it my imagination or does he usually play well in the Qld/NT warmth and sunshine?

 

[BigHippy]

Oh yes you will ..... and you did

Sad.

 

[azza77]

I don’t really understand why Brisbane would give up pick 12 for him when he’s uncontracted next year and the PSD is probably a legitimate threat next year.

Same goes for Weller. Why give up pick 2 for him when he’s got a year to run.

Like I know that clubs want to maintain good relationships while negotiating for future deals, butI just don’t understand....

Brisbane and GC got absolutely reamed!

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Yeah Freo have done alright here. Got Matera for stuff all too. Reckon he's a chance to have as good a season as Weller

 

[Owen_AFC97]

Is it my imagination or does he usually play well in the Qld/NT warmth and sunshine?

yeah but its not that hard for any player in our side to play well against Gold Coast or Brisbane. Easy wins every time we have gone up there in recent history

 

[The Karma Bus]

Sad.

As long as he finds decent consistency with you guys, you will be glad to have him and you'll forget about the pick 12.
When he's on, he hurts teams.

It's a bit like us with Gibbs really. When you've been repeatedly reamed with "go-homes" sending out the message to your own go-homes that you're prepared to get the deal done is good medium to long-term strategy.

That loss to West Coast in Round 23 just keeps on giving.

First it pushed Melbourne's pick down to 10, then it gave us that hilarious final, now it gives us pick 12.

 

[rezagun]

Were dealing with david noble pick 12 will be on the table.

Classic noble.

Couldn't resist.

I was right and you were wrong.

Has happened maybe twice.

I'm quite happy to have Cameron in our team. At the end of the day he cost what he cost. I think we overpaid, but the club rated Cameron > 12 so they did the deal. No skin off my nose and I'm looking forward to watching him play.

It was right on the last page of the thread, couldn't resist.

I was right and you were wrong.

Wow man, congratulations.

Honestly I'll never understand people like you/macca23. I made a comment here about Gibbs' worth (I think something like "I'd give 16 + 18 for Gibbs + change in your position") and was told by numerous Crows fans that he was only worth one of those picks, if that. In the end, you paid the equivalent of about pick 7 for him. So those people were off in their estimation of his value...but what would I gain by searching through a stream of posts to find the comments just to remind them of that? Different strokes for different folks I guess, but to me it comes off as a bit sad.

How did Brisbane end up wit Port’s first round pick in the first place?

Hanley deal. 3-way trade with us/GC/Port.

It's funny.

You being clearly annoyed pleases me and I'm rubbing your face in it for my general amusement.

Port traded it to them last year in order for 2 picks this year, which they used for SPP and Atley, I think.
