Charlie Cameron still learning from Nick Watson after 13 years in the game
Cameron, in his 13th season with 491 career goals, said he watches Watson closely and learns from the 57-goal All-Australian.
Brisbane's Charlie Cameron says he still learns from Hawthorn's Nick Watson, despite being in his 13th AFL year to Watson's third. Watson kicked 57 goals in 22 games this season and earned his first All-Australian medal.
Cameron admires Watson's ability to attack packs quickly and finish with composure. The pair will face each other in Saturday's preliminary final at the MCG.
Cameron bounced back after a poor qualifying final, kicking five goals in the semi-final rout of Adelaide. This season he has kicked 55 goals, the fifth time in his career he's topped the half century.
Cameron has 491 goals overall and trails only Lance Franklin for the most September goals this century.
