It is actually good you can write this entire post without mentioning our best player. This is why Geelong are a sleeper team.

Jeremy Cameron.

Round 8 last year before Danger went out and our forward line delivery slipped, he was considered the best player in the comp (was 3rd in brownlow at that point). He had a baby and a concussion in 2023 and still came 5th in the Coleman.

His mobility and long legs make it look he's a senior playing against under 16s. A bit inconsistent but at his best kicks big bags and racks up touches. Not unlike Buddy Franklin. Underrated and overlooked, just like the club he plays for!

Good call, Jason. A full season from Cameron is enough reason to believe that Geelong could easily make it back into the finals (even if his form – totally understandably – did tail off a bit later in the season).

Great comparison on his long legs making him look like he's playing against U16s! I've often thought he looked a little odd out there, but I'd never been able to articulate why. I think you've done it!
