Charlie Cameron's Unforgivable Snub of Auskick Kid at AFL Celebration

In a moment that has shocked AFL fans, Charlie Cameron of the Brisbane Lions has added his name to the list of premiership stars who have neglected to shake hands with young fans. This ritual usually sees Auskick kids present their heroes with a handshake and receive a premiership cap in return. However, Cameron missed the memo this year, leaving a young girl with her hand out when he headed for the podium.

Despite officials reminding players, Charlie Cameron awkwardly neglected the small gesture while others cooperated. Fans wasted no time expressing their disappointment on social media, calling for a change in the approach to honoring young supporters. “How good is the Brisbane official reminding every player to shake the hand of the Auskick kid until Charlie Cameron got on stage,” one fan noted.

Another fan remarked, “Every year, there’s always one player who doesn’t shake hands, and this year it’s Charlie Cameron!” This incident has stirred conversations around the camaraderie expected during such moments. Cameron also had a lackluster game, kicking only one goal and missing critical opportunities, but his memorable faux pas has overshadowed his performance.
