Jeremy Cameron's form slump continued as he failed to make an impact in Geelong's loss to the Brisbane Lions on Thursday night, July 2. He finished the match goalless and with just four disposals.
What happened?
The Brisbane Lions led from start to finish, stunning Geelong at GHMBA Stadium with the first eight goals of the match.
Why it matters for Jeremy Cameron
Geelong coach Chris Scott says Jeremy Cameron is capable of performing despite the lingering effects of the broken arm he suffered in last year's grand final.
Cameron did not get his first kick until the final quarter and appeared to favour his heavily strapped arm during the warm-up.
What comes next?
The Cats launched a gallant fightback in the second quarter to draw within seven points at half-time, but the Lions dominated to win by 22 points.
The final score was Brisbane Lions 19.9 (123) to Geelong 14.17 (101).
North Melbourne great David King questioned the severity of Jeremy Cameron's arm injury, wondering what it means for the Cats and their run into the finals.
King said Jeremy Cameron is a big talking point, and his performance will be crucial in the upcoming matches.
The Lions have won four matches in a row and are roaring now, letting the Cats and their fans know they are a premiership threat.
Josh Dunkley typified his toughness at the contest, and the Lions have had to adapt from the way they won their last couple of flags.
If this is their new way of doing business, other teams should be worried.
Chris Fagan has no issue with star midfielder Lachie Neale catching up with opposition clubs during the season as he ponders his future beyond this season.
Neale has continued his brilliant form despite the breakdown of his marriage at the end of last season.
He is set to catch up with Saints coach Ross Lyon and Essendon officials this weekend, and Collingwood and West Coast have also shown interest.
Neale has two young children living in Perth with their mother, Jules, and he is weighing up where he plays his football next season.
Fagan said Neale has to explore his options, and it's not just from a domestic perspective but financially as well.
The Cats will look to bounce back from this loss, and Jeremy Cameron's performance will be key to their success.
He has had fewer than 10 disposals in three of the past four matches, and the Cats need him to fire if they are to make a deep run into the finals.
The Lions, on the other hand, are looking strong, and their win over the Cats has propelled them back into the top four.
They will look to continue their winning streak and make a push for the premiership.
The Cats will face a tough test in their next match, and they will need Jeremy Cameron to be at his best if they are to win.
The pressure is on, and the Cats will be looking to bounce back from this loss.
Jeremy Cameron's form slump is a concern for the Cats, and they will need him to turn it around if they are to succeed.
The Brisbane Lions are roaring, and the Cats will need to be at their best to stop them.
The stage is set for an exciting finish to the season, and Jeremy Cameron's performance will be key to the Cats' success.
