Cameron's slump: Scott admits star's 'flat spot'

Geelong coach Chris Scott has publicly stated that star forward Jeremy Cameron is currently navigating a "flat spot" in his game. This comes after Cameron was held without a goal and managed only four disposals in a recent four-quarter performance against Brisbane.

Scott confirmed the team's awareness of Cameron's reduced influence, noting his ongoing battle with arm and hip issues this season. While Cameron asserts he is fit to play, the club is questioning medical staff and the player himself to understand the situation. The coach expressed confidence that Cameron will overcome this period, a sentiment echoed regarding Gryan Miers.

Miers' return from a partially torn ACL has also been deemed "complicated" by Scott. Despite being fit to play, Miers has not consistently reached his previous high level of performance. Scott indicated that the club is actively working on strategies to help both players regain their peak form, drawing parallels between their situations.

The Cats have experienced a downturn, losing four of their last five games, and dropping out of the top four. Scott, however, remains unfazed by the ladder position, emphasizing the importance of context in assessing the team's form. He believes the team is still capable of beating any opponent.
