Leon Cameron has called time as GWS Giants coach.
The playing group has been informed this morning and Cameron will coach against Carlton this weekend before Mark McVeigh takes over as caretaker.
This is year number nine at the helm. He took the Giants to a Grand Final in 2019, plus two preliminary finals in 2016 and 2017.
He’s had access to a very talented list, he took them right to the pointy end, they just couldn’t quite get over the hump.
This has been handled really well with the way it was put on the public agenda at the start of the season, which was completely Cameron’s doing. It was his decision to do that. It really did speak of a man who was at peace with his place in the football world.
It was handled with dignity and class and it appears as though the Giants have done the same.
Cameron has helmed the Giants since 2014 and holds an 87-70-3 all-time record.
Under Cameron, the Giants played finals from 2016 to 2019 inclusive, missed the eight in 2020, before returning last year.
They currently have a 2-6 win-loss record ahead of Sunday’s meeting with the Blues, which will be his final game in charge.
