The massive ahead kicked 5 for the sport and was tireless as he stretched the Carlton defence, regularly pushing excessive up the bottom after which turning and dashing in the direction of aim like a greyhound in pursuit of a lure.
When Carlton closed inside eight factors deep into the final quarter, Cameron bobbed up once more to kick the sealer.
His accuracy was infectious. Geelong’s composure in entrance of aim allowed them to take care of a lead all through the match, regardless of Carlton dominating the within 50 depend. At one stage the Cats kicked 12.3 from set pictures

Zach Tuohy was an unlikely hero for Geelong with three objectives, whereas Tom Hawkins didn’t register a serious.
Nice wall of Geelong
Geelong’s again six, led by Max Holmes and Mitch Duncan, held agency all sport.
They might have made a meteorologist proud, weathering storm after storm. Then they launched devastating counterattacks.
Holmes had 26 possessions throughout halfback, whereas Duncan had 24 disposals.

He and brother Zach, alongside Jack Henry and Sam De Koning, helped type a formidable wall. They had been in a position to mark, mop up and thwart what threatened to be, at instances, an onslaught.
If sides are to beat this Geelong facet, they’re going to want to plan a greater means ahead. And attempt to maintain the Cats on turnovers and counterattacks.
