Career highlights
AFL Rising Star Nomination 2007

Cameron Wood (born 4 March 1987) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Brisbane Lions

He was recruited as the number 18 draft pick in the 2004 AFL Draft from West Adelaide. He made his debut for the Brisbane Lions in Round 5, 2005 against West Coast Eagles. In Round 2, 2007, he earned an AFL Rising Star nomination for his efforts in a 52-point victory over St Kilda playing as a ruckman.

Collingwood

On 11 October 2007, Wood was officially traded to Collingwood for the Magpies' highest draft selection, number 14. Collingwood acquired Wood to bolster their ruck division and provide back up for Josh Fraser.

Wood played few games in the Magpies 2010 premiership season and 2011 season due in large to the teams ruck options being bolstered by the recruitment of Darren Jolly and the decision to play utility Leigh Brown as second ruckman. With Fraser's departure to the Gold Coast Suns and Leigh Brown's retirement. Wood was kept out of the Magpie's side for most of the 2012 season with Chris Dawes and Darren Jolly playing as ruckmen for most of the season, he only managed to play in 6 matches.

Wood was delisted on the 29th of October, 2012 after 48 games for Collingwood. During the 2013 season, he played for Williamstown in the VFL.^[1]

Carlton

On November 27, 2013 Wood was recruited by Carlton Football Club in the rookie draft. He made his debut for Carlton on July 18, 2014 in an upset win over North Melbourne, in what was his first AFL game since round 22 of the 2012 home and away season. He took seven marks and won 26 hit-outs as well as racking up 10 disposals in an impressive return to AFL football.^[2] In a post-match interview with CFC TV after the win Wood said, 'this time last year playing AFL again was one of the last things on my mind'.^[3]
