It’s becoming a regular occurrence watching the Cats play, where Jeremy Cameron kicks the kind of goal that makes you quickly look at the big screen if you're at the ground or grab your phone to have another look at it online, if you’re not.

He probably had two of them on Saturday afternoon at GMHBA Stadium during the Cats’ 26 point win over a valiant Crows outfit, but there was one that stood out, if only because he kicked it with his right foot, something of a rare occurrence in his 200 plus games to date.

He called it an ‘accidental goal’ but anyone that’s been watching Cameron play since he joined Geelong at the end of 2020 knows that he’s being humble.

It’s the final seconds of the first half and the ball sails into the Geelong forward 50, just in front of the main scoreboard and Mark Blicavs skies for the mark. The ball bounces out, but he maintains control and flicks it out to Cameron, tight on the boundary.  

The fans sitting in those seats regularly likely knew what was coming, and Jezza did not disappoint.

Cameron weaves through four Crows like he was doing a dangerous driving course in a phone box, drops it onto his non preferred right boot mere centimetres below the outstretched Adelaide hand, and it sails through, extending the Cats’ lead to 16.

“I like to call it an accidental goal," he told Cats Media in the rooms after the game. "I pretty much through it on my right boot, so I was in the right place at the right time."

“I think it was Blitz that fed it out to me. You've quite often only got a split second to dispose of the footy and I thought it would have been touched, but it wasn't, so I got away with one there.”

Cameron finished with an equal game high three goals, putting him two ahead of Carlton’s Charlie Curnow in the race for the Coleman Medal, but it was another player kicking their first ever AFL goal, 20-year-old Mitch Knevitt playing his fifth AFL game that caught his eye.  

“He's a really good young kid, it wasn't so much the goal that stood out to me it was a couple of his one on ones where we kicked it to him out on the wing," Cameron said. 

“It was a real 50/50, the ones that if you lose it it's going straight down the other way and if you win it comes our way, and he won all of those, that's what stood out to me anyway.

"His ability to go for his marks in the air... he's a midfielder that plays tall and we want him to keep playing like that.”
