Beset by ankle, arm and even ear problems this year, Cameron has been unable to regularly produce last season’s breathtaking football which carried him to 62 goals and All Australian selection as a 20-year-old.
Averaging nearly 11 touches, five marks and just under three goals per game in 2013, those numbers have slipped to 8.4 possessions, 3.6 marks and two goals this year.

The injuries, particularly issues with both ankles, have limited his ability to train and play freely at times during the year, and have also had an impact on his confidence.
"I think with injuries it can go up and down at different times," Cameron said of his on-field self-assurance on Thursday.
"I don't really focus on that stuff too much and just try to play my game and when the ball comes, try and get it and do my thing.
"It's been up and down, but I'm feeling really good at the moment and really positive.
"I hurt the other (ankle) earlier in the season and my left one now, (but) it's feeling a lot better.
"I trained really well today and I'm looking forward to playing this week and putting all that behind me."
Cameron managed a combined 13 disposals, eight marks and three goals against the Sydney Swans and Adelaide over the past two rounds.
Yet his coach Leon Cameron said while no one is guaranteed a spot in his side, he "hasn't even contemplated" dropping the young key forward.
The GWS coach felt it was almost natural Cameron had a let down after last year's feats.
"His second year was quite extraordinary," Cameron said.
"To be an All-Australian full forward and kick that many goals was extraordinary.
"To back that up in your third year, you'd probably win the Brownlow Medal.
"It's very, very hard for young players in young sides to continually improve every year.
"Jeremy had a pretty good pre-season, but then he's hit a number of injuries along his journey and he wants that continuity of playing week in, week out, training week in, week out.
"He probably had a five or six week block when he couldn't train, so then his fitness probably drops off a bit and his touch drops off a little bit.
"He'd be the first to admit he'd love to be playing some better footy … and we're really confident he can get back to the form we know he can produce."
The young star also faced speculation earlier this year he was considering leaving the Giants to return home to Victoria and join a Melbourne-based club.
Off contract at the end of 2015, Cameron insists he wants to stay in Sydney and be part of something special at the Giants.
"I'm contracted till next year and really loving how things are going with the group of boys that I've spent almost four years with now," he said.
"I've enjoyed every moment and really have a strong bond with the coaching staff and all the other players.
"Starting out as a new club, it's something no one has really experienced and that bond you build over time, you really want to keep.
"I'm loving my time up here and I want to stay."
Pushed on when he would extend his contract, Cameron said: "I’m sure it will be some time soon.
"I’m just discussing that obviously with the club and my manager.
"It'll be done sometime soon. I'm not too sure when, but probably sometime this year."
