Geelong superstar Jeremy Cameron is in growing doubt to line up for next Saturday\u2019s marquee State of Origin match between Victoria and Western Ausralia, as he continues to recover from the injury he sustained in the 2025 Grand Final.<\/p>\n

Per multiple reports, the reigning Coleman Medallist is yet to return to a full training load after breaking his arm in the Cats\u2019 47-point loss<\/a> to Brisbane in late September last year.<\/p>\n

Seven\u2019s Mitch Cleary reported on Monday night that the key forward continues to train with a fluoro cap for his club of five seasons, less than two weeks out from the clash at Optus Stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis right arm heavily strapped and he\u2019s wearing a fluoro cap to signify no contact from teammates (at training),\u201d Cleary said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s still building confidence in the injury, 12 days out from Origin.\u201d<\/p>\n

At this stage, it appears increasingly unlikely Cameron will line up alongside fellow Geelong teammates Max Holmes, Tom Stewart and Patrick Dangerfield for Victoria.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old kicked a whopping 83 goals during the Cats\u2019 home-and-away season, which at one stage saw him an unlikely, but live, chance of reaching triple digits \u2014 a feat not achieved since 2008 by AFL legend Lance Franklin for Hawthorn.<\/p>\n

Cleary also reports that North Melbourne star Tristan Xerri and three-time Richmond premiership player Nathan Broad are set to be named for Victoria and Western Australia respectively in the coming days, leaving all 18 AFL clubs represented in the first State of Origin clash held outside of anniversary or exhibition events this century.<\/p>\n

The West Australian has also revealed<\/a> that Western Bulldogs 2023 All-Australian ruck Tim English is set to be called upon for the \u2018Sandgropers\u2019, which would see him play alongside fellow rucks Darcy Cameron (Collingwood) and Luke Jackson (Fremantle).<\/p>\n

Both states are expected to finalise their squads later this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Geelong superstar Jeremy Cameron is in growing doubt to line up for next Saturday\u2019s marquee State of Origin…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":454659,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":["post-454658","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454658","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=454658"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454658\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/454659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=454658"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=454658"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=454658"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
