Cameron Faulkner (born 22 May 1984) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played with the Western Bulldogs.
Australian rules football, officially known as Australian football, or simply called Aussie rules, football or footy, is a contact sport played between two teams of eighteen players on an oval-shaped field, often a modified cricket ground. Points are scored by kicking the oval-shaped ball between goal posts or between behind posts.
The Western Bulldogs is a professional Australian rules football club that competes in the Australian Football League (AFL), the sport's premier competition. Founded in 1877 in Footscray, an inner-western suburb of Melbourne, the club won nine premierships in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) before gaining entry to the Victorian Football League in 1925. The club has won two VFL/AFL premierships, in 1954 and 2016, and was runner up in 1961.
Faulkner was recruited to through the 2002 National AFL Draft at number 17 which had been traded by St Kilda for Luke Penny.
Luke Penny is a former Australian rules footballer.
In season 2005 he played the first four games, but was dropped thereafter and did not return until round 12. He broke his collarbone in round 15 against Fremantle which put him out for the rest of the season. He played in only three games in the 2006 season, with a shoulder injury in a Round 10 VFL match further hampering his attempts to earn selection.

In 1995 it became the second team from Western Australia after the West Coast Eagles to be admitted to the AFL, honouring the rich footballing tradition and history associated with Fremantle.
The Victorian Football League (VFL) is the major state-level Australian rules football league in Victoria. The league evolved from the former Victorian Football Association (VFA), and has been known by its current name since 1996.
