Geelong spearhead Jeremy Cameron is confident there is plenty of good football to come in his golden partnership with Tom Hawkins.
Since Cameron switched from GWS at the end of 2020, he and Hawkins have booted 157 and 178 goals respectively.
Cameron, 30, is thriving and confident his 35-year-old partner-in-crime is also far from done.
"Hopefully some good football is still yet to be played for sure," Cameron said ahead of Saturday's round-one clash with St Kilda at GMHBA Stadium.
"Tom's one of those guys that it doesn't matter how many seasons you've played, he comes back and he's always looking for new ways to get better and improve and help the team and that's what we've done.
"We've had seasons where we haven't been able to train too much over the pre-season together and still been able to play good football but I think it's best when you can be out there for the whole pre-season together.
"You add Shannon Neale into the mix as well. He's been good up forward. It's been really strong, he's come on well and the smalls around us, we've had some different looks, which is exciting for the forward line."
Cameron was confident a three-pronged attack including 21-year-old Neale could work.
"Whether that's how it goes into round one, we'll have to wait and see," he said.
"But we've trained really strongly together. And it's been exciting to see Shannon run and jump at the ball."
Cameron also pointed to smalls Ollie Henry, Tyson Stengle, Ollie Dempsey, Brad Close and Gryan Miers as extra attacking weapons.
"It's a dangerous look and we've got different options and I think that's the key to attacking the season," he said.
"We've just got to get out there and try and play our best footy together."
The 30-year-old also pointed to a refreshed midfield, with Tanner Bruhn, Jhye Clark and Max Holmes running through, as reinvigorating Geelong's attack.
"It's exciting to see when you're up forward and you have these guys bursting out and kicking it to you," he said.
Geelong missed the finals last year and last week Cameron's now-retired premiership teammate Isaac Smith said the Cats could finish anywhere between 15th and winning the flag.
"I guess that's probably what a lot of people sort of think," Cameron said.
"Everyone's got their opinion on it from the outside and we don't really buy into that too much.
"We just want to be the best players we can and the best team.
"We've come back and we want to be up there playing finals again. That's the goal and on top of that you want to play top four. So we want to get off to a really good start."
