Jeremy Cameron is going through a tough patch, but Chris Scott, the Geelong coach, has thrown his support behind the dual Coleman Medallist.
What's happening with Jeremy Cameron?
Cameron's form has been inconsistent, with 39 goals this season, but 10 of those came in one game, and his impact has waned in recent weeks.
He had a below-par performance against the Lions on Thursday night.
Why is Chris Scott backing Jeremy Cameron?
Scott said the club gives its champions more room to maneuver, and he's confident Cameron will bounce back.
The coach remembers getting similar questions the week before Cameron kicked 11 goals.
What's next for Jeremy Cameron and Geelong?
Geelong has won just one of their last five games, and Scott is calling for context to be considered when analyzing the team's performance.
The Cats' next game is against the GWS Giants, Cameron's former team, on Saturday.
Cameron has the freedom to play where he feels best, and Scott might get more involved in helping him find his form.
The coach reiterated that the club doesn't play injured players, and Cameron's troublesome arm is not a factor in his performances.
Geelong is looking to respond to their recent losses, and the game against the Giants is a chance to do so.
The team is confident they can beat anyone, anywhere, and they've had the opportunity to do so in the last five weeks.
The fixture's quirks have played a role in Geelong's recent results, with luck affecting the game.
Scott wishes the fixture wasn't this way, but it's an unfortunate reality.
The Cats are looking forward to their next game, and Cameron will be key to their success.
