JEREMY Cameron has finished equal eighth at the 2022 Brownlow Medal count at Crown Palladium on Sunday night.
Cameron polled 19 votes including five best-on-ground performances to finish 10 votes behind Carlton's Patrick Cripps who won the award with 29 votes.
Midfielder Cameron Guthrie also polled well for the Cats with 13 votes to finish equal 20th overall.
Tom Stewart and Mark Blicavs were next best with nine votes apiece, with Tom Hawkins rounding out Geelong's top five on eight votes.
A total of 13 Cats shared the team's total of 92 votes, with skipper Joel Selwood leapfrogging Chris Judd into outright seventh place for most Brownlow Medal votes in history after receiving four votes tonight.
Earlier in the night Selwood was recognised for his tireless work in the community as the recipient of the Jim Stynes Community Leadership Award.
From the beginning of his career, 16 years ago, Selwood prioritised showing up for his community and has not stopped since. Since his first day playing AFL he has visited schools, clubs, Auskick clinics, community camps, country days, and community appearances.
This past year the Cat’s Captain reached his 350-game milestone and broke league records for most games and wins as a captain, yet he has also reached an important and impressive milestone off field – passing 1000 hours with Cat’s Community commitments, and that’s just the recorded hours.
Geelong CEO Steve Hocking succinctly summarised why Selwood is deserving of the prestigious Jim Stynes Community Leadership Award.
“Joel is an outstanding ambassador for our Club and the game and we’re proud to see him recognised for the impact he has made to the Geelong and wider community over the course of his career," Hocking said.
“Watching Joel engage with young people in particular, reminds us every day of the inclusivity of football and the influence players can have beyond the field.”
