Veteran Cat seeks to add weapons in flag pursuit
Cameron leads the Coleman Medal race this season with 48 goals from 15 games, well clear of GWS gun Hogan (40 goals) and the rest of the chasing pack.
The 32-year-old, who won the goal-kicking award in 2019, insists he had "no idea" he was that far in front, declaring his main focus is on team success with the high-flying Cats.
He remains dedicated to improving his own craft after what he assessed as a "very inconsistent" start to his 2025 campaign.
"I knew I was leading but I didn't know by how much or who was chasing me or whatnot," Cameron said.
"The football that I do watch, I try and watch the key forwards and how they move.
"I've said that since day one as well. I try and take pieces of their games to improve mine, so that's probably as far as I've looked at it."
One of those on former GWS star Cameron's radar is current Giants spearhead Hogan, who won last year's Coleman Medal with a career-best 77 goals.
"I just have a strong interest in all key forwards and watching them, especially some of the younger guys coming through playing good football," Cameron said.
"It's great to see, and there have been a couple that have stitched us up at times this year.
"But there's a few beauties in the comp, as well as guys like Jesse Hogan doing his thing.
"I speak to my close mate Toby (Greene) up there and the way he goes about it.
"I still watch GWS games a lot and the way he plays the game is different to how I play it, but I can sort of take little bits of his game and try to add it to mine at the ripe old age of 32."
Cameron's form has sparked discussion about whether he could become the first player to kick 100 goals in a season since Lance Franklin in 2008.
Geelong have a relatively friendly run in to September, with five of their eight remaining home-and-away games against current bottom-six sides - and none against teams in the top eight.
The possibility of playing three or four finals also boosts Cameron's chances of achieving the rare scoring feat.
But the veteran is more interested in another premiership after tasting the ultimate success in 2022.
"As you get older you sort of realise how important it is to just be playing good football as a team, and you want to challenge for premierships," Cameron said.
"Especially being there and getting that done before, I want to be back there and doing that again. So that's my focus."'
Geelong's post-bye run home starts in a clash with second-from-bottom Richmond at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday.

AFL 2025: Essendon coach Brad Scott speaks on umpire contact crackdown
Essendon coach Brad Scott hopes the AFL conducts investigations into the cause of each umpire contact case after enforcing a crackdown on repeat offenders. The AFL Players Association also called for the entire MRO and Tribunal system to be reviewed declaring it 'wasn't working' after the league introduced the prospect of suspension for players should they be found to have carelessly made contact with an umpire on four occasions. Players will be punished with a hefty fine after the second offence. Scott understands the umpires' view, saying the AFL's 'hand was forced' but wants to see the cause of the contact ruled correctly. 'It seems to be one of those things where their hand was forced, we don't often think about workplace health and safety, especially on field,' he said. 'There's a tribunal, MRO to deal with players, but clearly the umpires in particular feel their safety is being compromised. 'I just hope there's a deep dive going into umpire positioning. There's four umpires on the ground, all of those things. 'Accidental umpire contact results in a fine or a suspension, I'd be very interested in the Players' Association's view on this because there's a lot of fines getting out of control. 'I understand the reasoning for it, the AFL has had their hand forced on this one, but I think everyone has to take responsibility on this, not just the players.' Interim AFLPA boss, Ben Smith said deciding to increase the penalties without consultation was 'disappointing' and called for a forum to discuss such issues 'holistically with the AFL'. 'It's evident to the AFLPA and players that the current MRO and Tribunal system is not working and needs to be reviewed and revised, and we look forward to being a part of that process,' he said. Scott says the best midfielders have started setting up alongside the umpires' lane out of centre bounces and that puts everyone 'in a vulnerable position'. He says the Bombers will implement a strategy around avoiding contact at training this week. 'The ball-ups are the problem, incidental umpire contact around the ground doesn't happen very often,' he said. ' … the AFL have made it clear to us that if you set up behind the umpire when they're backing out and there's contact, then you're liable. 'That's a pretty simple one for the players. What has been a trend is a lot of players, particularly the stars of the competition, setting up there because you have to man them up. 'That puts you in a vulnerable position of making contact with an umpire. We're actually going to work on it at training today just to make sure we don't put ourselves in that position.' Scott says ruling on free kicks and fines for umpire contact is 'retrospective' and needs to be assessed through vision. He also launched to the defence of the playing cohort, saying the volume of fines is 'outrageous'. 'I don't think any player likes money coming out their pocket, but I think they do have a view that they feel when they're fined it's not a penalty,' he said. 'Put umpire contact to one side, any MRO finding where a player gets fined, it's reported as if they've been cleared – the players don't feel like they've been cleared.'

Carlton star Jacob Weitering says teammates must find a purpose for rest of season after horror losses
Carlton vice-captain Jacob Weitering will continue to play despite having ligament damage in his ankle, adamant the Blues can't 'roll over and give the year away' amid mounting pressure on coach Michael Voss. Weitering said the theme among senior leadership at the Blues this week would be finding a 'purpose' for the remaining eight games of the season with finals out of the question and a looming showdown with ladder leaders Collingwood on Friday night. Angry supporters sprayed the walls at Carlton headquarters with graffiti in the wake of last week's horror loss to Port Adelaide in which the Blues failed to kick a first half goal. That defeat came on the back of losing to 16th-placed North Melbourne. Weitering played in an ankle brace and while he conceded he 'fell short' of expectations given his standing as one of the game's leading defenders, he said he wouldn't take a seat with the club teetering on the brink of full implosion. 'I don't think I am the only player dealing with some soreness and injuries. Structurally, the ankle was in a good condition based off the scan,' he said on Wednesday. 'There is some ligament damage but the ankle brace did its job. You put yourself out there, you have to go and do your job. I fell short of that. 'I'm a leader of the club, I have to keep fronting up.' Voss, who is contracted until the end of 2026, has been backed to see out the season by Carlton hierarchy before a full assessment in the off-season. That could come as soon as September with finals now not even in the thoughts of Weitering, who said he was a 'realist' and had to accept that the final eight weeks of the season were about building for 2026. But he was adamant there couldn't, and wouldn't, be a complete drop-off in performances. 'We've got eight weeks to find a purpose,' he told SEN. 'We have an incredible leader in Vossy, who has been through it all as captain and as coach, and some guys who are really invested in taking this club forward and achieving the ultimate success. 'Being ale to blood a few guys through this period is going to be exciting and that's going to give us a launch pad into next year. 'It is very frustrating to use that terminology … setting us up for next year, but I am a bit of a realist. 'You can't fold over as a group, you can't fold over as a club. It says a lot about a club how you come out of adversity. This could be the makings of a very good football team.'

AFL called out for 'disappointing' ump contact changes
The AFL has been slammed for dramatically increasing penalties for contact with umpires, placing a number of players at risk of suspension. The AFL Players' Association has called the move "disappointing", saying it wasn't consulted before the sudden change ahead of the upcoming round. Starting on Thursday night, a player charged with careless umpire contact for a fourth time or more during the past two seasons can be referred directly to the tribunal and face possible suspension. Fines have skyrocketed recently, with the total amount to exceed a record $1 million over the past 24 months by the end of this season. While agreeing umpires need to be protected, interim AFLPA boss Ben Smith believed the match review officer and tribunal system is "not working and needs to be reviewed and revised". "The safety of umpires is a critical component for the game, and it's one the players wholeheartedly agree with," Smith said. "However, unilaterally deciding to increase the penalties on the playing group to greater extremes without consultation is disappointing. "The AFLPA wrote to the AFL weeks ago to request a forum where the players can sit down and genuinely discuss these issues holistically with the AFL. "There are multiple factors that go into the number of fines increasing for careless contact with an umpire, such as additional umpires on the field and greater congestion around the ball, and the players feel the threshold of what constitutes incidental or accidental contact between players and umpires continues to shift. "They ultimately believe these fines aren't proportionate to the acts committed." Newly re-signed Gold Coast star Matt Rowell has already been fined three times this season for umpire contact. A fourth offence would likely send Rowell for an unprecedented tribunal appearance. This season there have been 63 careless contact fines, with 56 last year and only 20 in 2023. A change mid-season could possibly impact the Brownlow Medal, with Rowell expected to poll well. Essendon coach Brad Scott warned the AFL was already asking a lot of the playing group. "I just hope there's a deep dive being done into umpire positioning for umpires on the ground," he said on Wednesday. "Player fines are getting out of control at the moment. "I understand the reasoning for it. The AFL has had their hand forced on this one ... everyone's got to take some responsibility for this, not just the players." Bombers players took part in drills at training on Wednesday to ensure they aren't making unnecessary contact with umpires. "The ball-ups are the problem," Scott said. "The incidental umpire contact around the ground doesn't happen very often."
