Lion keeps on learning

CHARLIE Cameron has quickly developed a reputation for blowing the minds of Brisbane fans with some tricks, but Lions teammates say his offfield work has also come as a major surprise.

At yesterday’s unveiling of the jumper, designed by local indigenous artist Elaine Chambers, that will be worn in the Sir Doug Nicholls Round (indigenous round) against the Kangaroos at the weekend veteran Allen Christensen revealed something about the personality of new teammate Cameron (pictured).

“You can’t get him to shut up,” he said.

“In meetings, and it’s something I didn’t expect out of him, he’s quite harsh on himself and he’ll give direction to other boys if they’re going against the game plan.

“He’s come from a club with a really strong culture in Adelaide that will pick up on things they don’t like.

“If he sees something he’s done wrong or one of the boys have gone against the game plan, he’ll pick that out, but he’s always the first bloke to give some praise.

“He’s really good at giving feedback.”

However, Christensen said it was still Cameron’s on-field deeds that had made the biggest impact at the Lions.
