No one has more fun out on the ground as Geelong spearhead Jeremy Cameron, but don’t expect him to spend this Saturday watching the other preliminary final if his Cats happen to get by the in-form Brisbane Lions on Friday night.
He’s had a routine this season, and he won’t be changing it up no, there's work to do on the farm.

“I was a big fan growing up and I watched a lot more footy before I started playing but I'm normally outside doing something and if I'm not out there doing it it's probably not going to get done,” he told media with a smile on Monday.
“I like to enjoy my weekends that way and I won't change that now. Hopefully, we get the win Friday, and then I'll be back out on the farm doing something Saturday and Sunday.”
The contrast between the league’s most electric player on the field and his laid-back nature off of it could not be starker, but with 62 goals from 23 games so far this season, it’s working just fine.
Cameron will line up for his fourth preliminary final appearance on Friday night, and despite missing some training last week due to a stomach bug, personally, he says he is feeling good.
“I've pretty much had a week off now so I'm feeling fresh,” he said.
“I had a bit of a trot yesterday and I'm excited. It's a good time of the year to be playing footy.”
Despite the at times gloomy weather, the stands were full at GMHBA Stadium yesterday for an Open Training session, and there was no mistaking the face that it’s September in Geelong.
It's really exciting for the group, we're all up and about,” Cameron said.
“I feel like the group itself is in a really good space. We don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves we just want to keep chipping away and we'll continue to do that with main training this week and then roll out there through captain's run and then Friday night.
“I think in general we're in a really good space to attack the game.”
