Charlie Cameron
Club: Swan Districts / Saints Newman
D.O.B: 5.7.94
Height: 178cm
Weight: 69kg
Small forward who plays a physical brand of football and displays an appetite for the contest. His ability to apply enormous defensive pressure to the opposition is a feature of his game. Has very clean hands and leg speed. Averaged 13 disposals and five tackles during the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships. Has a background in rugby and this is clearly evident in his ability to lay strong tackles. Played 15 games for Swan Districts at senior level in season 2013.
Sorry for the intrusion on your board.
Charlie moved from up north down to Swans.
He's still learning the game but he does have pressure and a bit of goal nous.
He's also a good bloke who will work hard, so I think you guys have picked well.
what exactly do you mean "still learning"?
He's come from a rugby background in Qld, so he's still developing as a player.
ahh, funny i actually thought he looked a rugby player when i saw a side-on picture of him a few hours ago.
So how long has he been focused on real football?
Thanks for your insight mate, starting to sound like Charlie's ceiling is very high with further development and natural improvement.He only moved to Swans in 2012 for Colts and was playing up north at 15.
So approx 4 years.
Thanks for your insight mate, starting to sound like Charlie's ceiling is very high with further development.
Pick No.7 - Charlie Cameron
Position: Small forward
Height: 183cm
Weight: 72kg
Born: 5/7/94
Home club: Swan Districts
“We would’ve been happy to take Charlie in the National Draft. He was in the mix at pick No.46 (used to select Riley Knight), so we’re rapt to get him as a rookie. He’s only played between 30-40 games of footy. He went to Swan Districts hoping to get a game in the colts, but he played every game in the seniors this year and was selected to represent WA at the Under-18 National Championships. We’ve been keen to get some speed into our group and Charlie has serious speed.
“He loves tackling and creates a lot of goals through his forward pressure. He had nine tackles in one game in the WAFL. He can take a good mark for a little fella – I’ve seen him sit on top of a pack and take a hanger. He’s a chasing, hard-working, tackling small forward in the Eddie Betts/Jared Petrenko mould. Hopefully, Eddie, Jared and also Ian Callinan can take Charlie under their wings and really help bring him along.” – Hamish Ogilvie and Phil Bunn
I don't know... he looked very slight, but not short.
Wonder if he'll bulk up or if he'll remain that size?
