*Carlton Pre-season premiership side 2005.Callum "Cherry" Chambers (born 19 November 1979) is a former
Australian rules football er in theAustralian Football League .He was recruited as the number 13 draft pick in the
1997 AFL Draft from Lucknow, Victoria. Callum made his debut for theWest Coast Eagles in Round 10, 2000 against Hawthorn.He was a very skilled and essential player for the club while they were struggling at the bottom of the ladder during the 2001–2002 seasons. However, as the Eagles' midfield was flooded with new talent, he struggled to make an impact and be selected for games on a consistent basis.
During this period he played many games in the WAFL for East Perth (2000-01) and West Perth (2002-04) and was a member of their respective 2000 and 2003 premiership teams.
He was traded to the
Carlton Football Club at the end of the 2004 season. There was much hype surrounding Callum at the club, as he was the fastest player over long distances in the history of the club, dashing long-distance records in trials. He showed glimpses of brilliance as he helped the team to win the 2005 Pre-Season premiership. However, his form faded away fast in the main season and he has struggled to make any impact at the AFL level recently, playing most of his 2006 for theNorthern Bullants seniors. He was delisted at the end of the season and has since signed with the West Perth Football Club in the WAFL competition.External links
