Geelong Cats fans have been handed a double boost with news confirming Jeremy Cameron’s selection for Victoria in the 2026 AFL Origin match, while also solidifying his unwavering commitment to the club for the upcoming season. The announcement, which broke as part of the official Origin squad reveal on December 21, 2025, has sent ripples of excitement through the Cats’ faithful, who continue to celebrate the superstar forward as one of the greatest acquisitions in the club’s recent history.
Cameron’s Origin call-up marks a return to representative football for the Victoria native, who last wore the Big V jumper in 2020. Named alongside fellow Cats stars Patrick Dangerfield, Max Holmes, and Tom Stewart in the 22-man squad, he is tipped to line up in the forward half for the clash against Western Australia on February 14, bringing his trademark goal-kicking prowess and leadership to the state side. The selection serves as a testament to his enduring elite status in the competition, coming off a stellar 2025 campaign that saw him cap off a remarkable year with his second Coleman Medal (83 goals) and appointment as captain of the All-Australian team – his fifth selection overall.
Since his blockbuster 2020 trade from Greater Western Sydney, Cameron has etched his name into Geelong folklore. He played a pivotal role in the club’s 2022 Premiership triumph, claiming the Carji Greeves Medal (Club Best and Fairest) in the same year. With 736 career goals to his name – 309 of which have come in the blue and white hoops – he has firmly established himself as the Cats’ spearhead and a generational talent.
Adding to the joy for fans, Cameron’s commitment to Geelong is secured through 2027, ensuring the 32-year-old will continue to lead the forward line as the club chases another flag. As excitement builds for both the Origin clash and the upcoming AFL season, Cats supporters can rest easy knowing their superstar is here to stay – and ready to deliver more magic on the field.
