Cameron's men escaped from Sunday night's victory over Hawthorn without an incident and he hoped no new injuries would emerge later this week.
"The hardest thing about the game is normally the damage comes 24 or 48 hours later," he said.

"There is a bit of carnage everywhere across the competition at the moment. I caught the back end of the Richmond game and there was a few injuries there and the Hawks suffered a few as well.
"It's survival of the fittest when you come up to the middle part of the year. I know we are only a third in but touch wood we are OK."
Cameron said he was pleased with the performances of the rest of his list, which played a scratch match against the Sydney Swans on Sunday.
"We got some good game time into our guys who didn't play. We played the Swans again in a 60-70 minute hit out," he said.
"We have just got to stay healthy but if you've got a healthy list you got to stay hungry and the guys that played tonight there will be areas of work ons for them.
"But equally I was really rapt with some of those guys who played earlier in the day because they are clearly hungry and want to play AFL footy more than not and it makes for competitive spots."
