Geelong coach Chris Scott addresses injury struggles after finals elimination

Summary

Geelong head coach Chris Scott confirmed that Jeremy Cameron will undergo surgery after playing through a persistent arm nerve injury during the 2026 season. Cameron also managed a shoulder injury that previously required surgery in mid-July. Teammate Max Holmes also struggled for fitness after returning early from a syndesmosis injury sustained in round 19 against St Kilda. Both players participated in Friday night's semi-final at Optus Stadium, where the Cats suffered a 14-point loss to Fremantle. Scott noted that both players were short of match fitness due to their interrupted campaigns. Cameron is expected to face a significant rehabilitation period following his upcoming procedure.
