Cameron, a Katamatite recruit, who won the Tungamah Football League best and fairest award, the Lawless Medal in 1986, played eight games for Geelong in each of his first two seasons, 1987 and 1988.[1][2] He appeared in the final five rounds of the 1989 VFL season, but did not take part in the Geelong's finals series.[2] After another five games in 1990, Cameron left to play for South Adelaide Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).[2][3]
