Collingwood ruckman Darcy Cameron has denied any interest in a move away from the club after a fortnight of trade rumours suggesting he may head home to Western Australia.
West Coast Eagles have been flagged as a club keen on acquiring the 2023 premiership player, who, despite being contracted until 2026, could potentially request a move at the end of the season.
Cameron, who has been averaging career highs in disposals, marks and clearances in 2025, reaffirmed his commitment to the Magpies via the AAP.
"I'm very happy at the Pies,” Cameron said. “My manager's in constant conversations with people around here and I'll let them sort that out.
"[Collingwood] are such a good team. We'll let them do the work and hopefully we can sort something out soon.”
The Eagles rebuild has gained momentum in recent weeks, recording their first win of 2025 over St Kilda in Round 11 before challenging Geelong for the best part of three quarters on Sunday night.
However, their ruck stocks have been an area of concern. Despite Matt Flynn emerging as a solid option lately, the 27-year-old outduelled Rhys Stanley for 31 hitouts on Sunday night.
Cameron, who would be the instant No.1 ruck for the Eagles and would likely benefit Andrew McQualter's midfield, is currently 13th amongst ruckmen for hitouts per game with a ruck contest win percentage of 40.6% also.
Cameron was drafted out of Claremont, so a return home to WA will always promise as a lure for the Eagles. However, Cameron has been in the best form of his career with the Pies this season and is playing a critical role in their hunt for a second premiership in three years, averaging 17.8 disposals and 3.4 clearances per game.
