Collingwood premiership hero Darcy Cameron keen to stay after surprise WA trade rumour
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.

The four moments that show why Brad Scott rates Merrett alongside Nathan Buckley
'What makes him so good? Well, how long have you got?' Scott said. 'It's unfair to make too many comparisons, but this one I think is appropriate. 'He reminds me of Nathan Buckley in his will to win. He's so driven. 'I had the misfortune of playing against Nathan Buckley then had the fortune of coaching him His drive and his will to win, is close to second-to-none and Merrett reminds me so much of him in that regard. 'But Merrett, like Nathan, backs that up with work ethic. He works on his craft every day, he is always seeking to get better. Every time he comes into the NEC Hangar, he is like, 'I am here to get better' and he expects that of his teammates.' Brownlow medallist Buckley was the Magpies' great hope during the late 1990s. Four of his six Copeland Trophy wins came in seasons where his team finished no higher than 11th in a 16-team competition. After playing a first final in his debut season in the black and white in 1994, Buckley had to wait until he had turned 30 for a second taste of September. Merrett, who turns 30 in October, is yet to win a final from four appearances. Already at an extremely high standard, arguably just below Nick Daicos and Marcus Bontempelli, Merrett cannot be reasonably expected to do much more himself to get his team there. He undoubtedly knows this, which is why his focus in recent years has shifted towards making teammates better as well. The lace-out pass On Thursday night his opening act was to put the ball on the chest of Archie Perkins for the Bombers' first goal. The desperate tackle His effort to bring down North's veteran recruit Luke Parker, one of this generation's toughest midfielders, exemplified his commitment to the defensive side of the game. Upon being spurned by Kako, Merrett did well not to show excessive disappointment and berate his first-season teammate. 'That is the fine line. We've worked really hard in that space and Zach has led that. Isaac just didn't see him,' Scott said. 'Isaac is a very unselfish player. If he had seen Zach, he would have kicked it to him. Loading 'I reckon three, four, five years ago he would have shown a lot more disappointment than he did.'
