The Lions hero forgot to shake the hand of the young girl when he received his medal.

Brisbane hero Charlie Cameron has added his name to the list of premiership stars to snub a young kid’s handshake on the podium.

It is an AFL ritual that young football fans, often Auskick kids, present the players from the winning team with a premiership medal, and the players in return plonk a cap on the head of the child and usually give a handshake.

However, every year it appears there is one player who forgets to shake the hand of an unfortunate kid.

Collingwood fan favourite Beau McCreery and Geelong superstar Tom Stewart are recent examples in the past two grand finals.

This year, a Lions official appeared to tell every player about shaking the hand as he handed them the cap.

But Cameron missed the message. He got the cap part right, but left a young girl hanging when she had her hand outstretched.

Fans on social media were quick to notice the blunder.

“How good is the Brisbane official reminding every player to ensure they shake the hand of the Auskick kid and put the hat on their head before running off … until Charlie Cameron gets on stage. One year a winning team will do it properly,” one fan said.

“Every year there’s always one player who doesn’t shake hands with Aussie kicker kid and it’s Charlie Cameron!” another said.

“Charlie Cameron c’mon mate. Shake the kid’s hand,” another said.

“Can’t believe we had a 99% success rate and Charlie Cameron ruined it,” another added.

“Thanking the Auskicker like everyone else in the team is obviously not in Charlie Cameron’s playbook,” another added.

“Hahaha the Lions bloke handing the hats to the players as they walk up is stressed yelling “SHAKE THEIR HAND” every time. Looks like Charlie Cameron was the one who didn’t listen,” another said.

“Charlie Cameron the douche not taking the 2 seconds go shake her hand. They’ve waited all year for that interaction. Fancy needing a staff member to remind you to have human decency,” another added.

“Charlie Cameron is so far the only one who didn’t shake the kids hand,” another said.

Jarrod Berry had no such issues, which made this young girl’s parents very happy.

Cameron had a relatively quiet day by his standards.

He kicked one goal, but missed two sitters from directly in front.

However, he won’t care in the slightest after winning his first premiership medal.
