Charlie Cameron ran out for his 200th game last September just a week after being named an All-Australian for the second time in his career.
But despite the home-and-away accolade, it’s the finals time that he truly shines.
In 16 finals, Cameron has kicked 34 goals. The average of better than two a game outstrips his career mark of 1.78 a game.
Look a little closer, and in his nine finals since crossing to Brisbane from Adelaide, he’s kicked 23 goals – a remarkable number for a part of the ground that can see so little of the ball.
Speaking prior to Brisbane’s main training session of the week on Thursday morning, the 29-year-old said his focus was to stay relaxed, but he knew it was coming.
Charlie says he builds his game off pressure. He’s ranked No.2 in the competition behind for tackles inside forward 50. It was a category he led in 2022.
But with another 53 goals in the 2023 season, it’s again his exploits around goal that have turned heads.
Well done to Charlie on a remarkable 200 games, here’s hoping there is many more to come.
