Chris Scott is optimistic Jeremy Cameron could again threaten to kick a century of goals this season after the Geelong spearhead broke another long-standing drought.
Not since Gary Ablett Sr - against Melbourne in 1994 - had any player bagged 10 or more goals in a single match at Kardinia Park.
But Cameron wrote another piece of history with 10 majors in a 19.17 (131) to 8.8 (56) rout of the injury-hit Western Bulldogs on Friday night.
It was the second-highest tally of the 33-year-old's career, following his haul of 11 against North Melbourne last season.
"He was on, wasn't he?" Scott said.
"He kicked seven in the first half and obviously in the third quarter we didn't play as well as we would've liked, but every time he went near the ball it looked like good things were going to happen."
Cameron kicked 88 goals last year at an average of 3.4 per game, and has 17 in five outings this season.
Lance Franklin was the last AFL player to reach triple figures, when he booted 113 goals in Hawthorn's 2008 premiership side.
Scott said Cameron could "maybe" kick a ton, but urged caution against early-season predictions.
"The game is different early in the season," Scott said.
"That is a trend over a decent period of time, certainly the attack is a little bit different in April to what it is in the depths of winter.
"But I would be optimistic because he doesn't rely on one way to score; he can get you in the ground or in the air or up the ground."
Thrilled with Cameron's individual display, Scott was even happier with Geelong's spread of contributors in attack against the Bulldogs.
Patrick Dangerfield returned from a calf injury with two goals and Jack Martin (one goal) matched his captain's tally of 11 score involvements.
Only Cameron (12) had more, while Shannon Neale and Oliver Henry were also among the Cats' nine goal-kickers.
Scott felt the forward-line was as potent as it has looked all season, albeit just six games into the campaign.
"The best forward lines, at least in my estimation, over the years have been the ones that are multifaceted," Scott said.
"Jeremy kicks 10 and it sounds a bit silly but it didn't seem to me like he was the only option in attack.
"He was able to finish his work but the other guys were good, too."
Geelong (4-2) take on Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval in round seven, with Cameron likely eyeing another bag.
He kicked seven and six goals in his two outings against the Power last season.
