“Cameron had trouble with his opposite hamstring late in the season, restricting him to 19 games for 2017. He kicked 45 goals.”

Cameron has had hamstring issues in the past but this injury is to the opposite leg.

There was more bad news for the Giants just hours later with confirmation Mumford fractured his foot against the Crows.

“Shane reported some soreness in his foot the day after the game and upon further investigation it was revealed he’d suffered a fracture,” Giants head of athletic performance David Joyce said.

“Having consulted a specialist on Monday, the decision has been made to rule him out for the rest of the season.

“This is disappointing news for Shane but he’ll no doubt put this aside to help his team mates prepare the best they can.”
