I've mentioned him a few times already, so thought I'd give him his own thread seeing as I'm on a role.

Mature age ruckman/forward has been around the WAFL scene with Claremont for a few years now (must have played with Hogan) and has had a breakout year this year.

Not bad numbers for a just turned 21 year old big man.  Approx 2 goals, 6 marks, 12 possessions, 13 hit outs and 2 tackles a game.  Fits the bill of what we need.  I'd be willing to take him late in the national draft with our 4th round pick to make sure we get him rather then risk him being there in the rookie draft.  He has Callum Sinclair written all over him from a few years back.

Cameron could potentially play from Round 1 and go along way to fixing our structure issues with the forward/2nd ruck role.  Brief description on him below re: his invite to the combine this year.  Anyone seen much of him at WAFL level?

Cameron was overlooked at the 2013 NAB AFL Draft with a query on his pace and his consistency in competing. But he's improved those aspects of his game and presents as a mature-age tall who is able to play in the ruck and in attack. Cameron has enjoyed a solid season at WAFL level for Claremont.

    Nice sizero.  Would prefer to rookie him but he may not be there, as you said. I wouldn't say no

    A take from me at the right price 3rd roundish,  really improved by adding the goal kicking ruckman to his game after being shellshocked when not drafted first time around. Started to knuckle down mid 2015 and had a very strong year until getting injured late. Has potential to be a Rory Lobb type. Meth Coast are very keen on him

    Any go home factor ?

    Not sure he's a country boy from Albany so obviously used to being away from home even if it is only 4hrs drive

    2013...Darcy Cameron is an agile ruckman who is also a good marking target around the ground.

    I would hope he can become more aggressive, for his footy's sake.

    Worth consideration based on his pace & skills.  But I'd hope he gets some ruggedness into his persona to play as a big man.

    We need another ruck desperately...an added bonus if he's a goal kicker.

    If we can get Pick 47 (Eagles 3rd Round Pick is 48) off Brisbane as part of any Dunn trade, then i say we take him.

    It's a moot point now Angry, as the Eagles no longer have pick 48.

    True. But they have 34 and then a pick in the 50s so good for us unless they rate him enough to take at 34.

    All assuming we are interested of course.

    I'll laugh if he goes with the pick before us.  AAC will be even angrier.

    I'll flip my lid if he goes at 46!

    Exactly the type of player we require. I remain optimistic!

    Well the Swans have 46 - so here is hoping they are not in the hunt - for the sake of AAC's blood pressure.

    Think Meth Coast may have to use 34 on FS Jake Waterman

    I like!

    Although with an ageing Sandilands & Griffin I'm also a bit concerned about Freo at Pick 40.....

    Freo may take English at 7?

    After my rant in the Oscar McInerney thread I thought I better back it up here as well.

    Does anyone want to provide any insights on why they think Cameron wasn't picked up in his draft year, even as a rookie?

    From memory his work ethic was the main thing. That and the fact that not many ruckmen get drafted out of the U18's anymore.

    From all reports his work ethic has improved significantly.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
