In a bold and unexpected move that’s sent shockwaves through the AFL world, Collingwood Head Coach Craig McRae has officially confirmed what many fans suspected — Darcy Cameron, the ever-reliable ruckman, is about to take on a completely new and expanded role at the club.
“His growth over the past season has been phenomenal,” McRae said at this morning’s press conference. “Darcy’s not just dominating in the ruck anymore. He’s matured into a real leader on and off the field, and we’re backing him to take it further.”
So what’s next for Cameron?
Sources inside the AIA Centre reveal that McRae is reworking team structures to give Cameron more time in the forward line, even hinting at a Vice-Captaincy or leadership development position.
“We see him as the next big figure at Collingwood,” McRae added. “Not just a ruckman — but a game-changer.”
Cameron, who has faced injury setbacks and fierce competition over the years, has clearly impressed the Magpies’ coaching staff with his resilience, work ethic, and growing influence among younger teammates.
Pundits are already speculating: Could this be the beginning of a ruck-forward hybrid revolution under McRae’s evolving game plan? Or is this just the first step in grooming Cameron for even bigger things — perhaps even a future captaincy?
One thing is clear: Darcy Cameron’s journey is far from over — it’s only just beginning.
