Jeremy Cameron, the Geelong Cats superstar and Coleman Medal winner, suffered a confirmed broken arm during the 2025 AFL Grand Final against Brisbane. The injury resulted from a collision with teammate Patrick Dangerfield in the second quarter, followed by further damage during a brave one-armed tackle on Jaspa Fletcher in the third quarter. Despite the break, Cameron continued to play through the pain, finishing the game with eight disposals and two behinds. He has since undergone scans that confirmed the break and will require surgery during the off-season. His exact timetable for return remains unclear as of now. Cameron was absent from Geelong's fan day due to the injury.
There has been some controversy regarding his continued play on a broken arm, with the Geelong coach Chris Scott expressing frustration over the AFL's substitution rule complicating player management during the game. Cameron spent some time on the bench but was not substituted out, which raised questions about player welfare and coaching decisions.
