Geelong star forward Jeremy Cameron says he never stops attempting to improve his game, whilst stopping at nothing in his pursuit of another flag.
The current Coleman Medal leader has a unique skillset that is rare to find in the AFL, but he says that he looks to fellow key forwards for inspiration to develop his craft to new heights.
After a "very inconsistent" start to the year that saw eight goals in the opening month, Cameron has since piled on 40 majors, including hauls of seven (Port Adelaide) and six (Western Bulldogs and Essendon) to be well clear of chaser Jesse Hogan.
"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."
By his own admission, Cameron rarely watches football outside of his own tape in review, but has noted he likes to keep tabs on Hogan and the like, as well as his former club.
"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 current goalkicking rate is the best of his career, averaging 3.2 majors a game, topping his incredible 2019 campaign (3.17) with the Giants.
His impressive form has posed the question of whether he can reach the 100-goal milestone, last attained by Lance Franklin in 2008.
However, the 32-year-old, who has experienced the ultimate success before, has only one goal on his mind.
"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."
The Cats return from their mid-season bye in fourth position, and will host Richmond at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday.
