Collingwood star 'happy', says new contract coming soon
Star Collingwood ruck Darcy Cameron wants to stay at the Magpies and hopes his manager can sort out a new deal "soon".
Despite being contracted until the end of 2026, Cameron is hot property.
A report on SEN WA last week linked the 29-year-old to West Coast, suggesting the Eagles are highly interested in luring Cameron.
Rebuilding West Coast are in desperate need of a quality ruck, so a move for Cameron would make sense.
Originally from Albany in Western Australia, Cameron is in career-best form after placing second in Collingwood's Copeland Trophy last year, only behind superstar Nick Daicos.
Asked if he wanted to remain at Collingwood, Cameron replied: "Of course I want to stay.
"Very happy at the Pies," the premiership star told AAP.
"My manager's in constant conversations with people around here and I'll let them sort that out.
"They're such a good team.
"We'll let them do the work and hopefully we can sort something out soon."
Veteran big man Mason Cox made way for last Friday night's clash with Hawthorn, as Cameron instead received help in the ruck from Tim Membrey and Brody Mihocek up forward.
Defender Billy Frampton also stepped in for Cameron at some centre bounces, as Collingwood demolished the Hawks by 51 points.
"It was still pretty much the same game time, same amount of ruck time," Cameron said.
"It was just asking a bit of Tim Membrey and Brody Mihocek, then Billy Frampton for some bounces.
"They all do a good job, and they (Hawthorn) don't have a second ruck either."
Premiership favourites Collingwood (10-2) have an extended break before facing Melbourne in the King's Birthday match at the MCG.
