Cats Make Late Change as Jeremy Cameron Hunts 100 Goals Against Injured Bombers
Hey, have you heard about the big AFL clash between Geelong and Essendon tonight? There’s been a pretty interesting late change that fans have been talking about. So, Geelong, also known as the Cats, have made a last-minute switch ahead of their Friday night game at GMHBA Stadium. Jack Martin, who was a standout last week with four goals, has been pulled out of the match. He’s been managed carefully because of his ongoing soft-tissue injury issues, which makes sense given how important it is to keep key players fresh and fit for the finals push.
Replacing Martin is Jhye Clark, who’s making his first appearance since round nine. Clark will actually start as the substitute player, with Jye Menzie named as the sub for Essendon, who haven’t made any changes to their lineup otherwise. Geelong also decided to rest their veteran Patrick Dangerfield, bringing Mitch Knevitt into the side instead. Essendon, on the other hand, have dropped Oskar Smartt and brought Menzie back.

Right now, the Cats are in a solid position this season with a 14-6 record, cruising towards what looks like a top-four finish. A big part of that success has been Jeremy Cameron’s incredible goal-scoring form. The superstar forward is on 75 goals for 2025, and he’s really charging towards the magical 100-goal mark. If he hits it, he’ll be the first player to do so since Lance Franklin back in 2008, which would be a huge milestone for him and the club.
Essendon have had a rough time this year, losing nine games in a row and battling through an injury crisis that’s seriously affected their competitiveness. Despite their struggles, they’re trying to hang in there, but the task tonight looks pretty tough against a strong Cats side.
During the match, the Cats took control early and by halftime, they were leading comfortably — 7.10 (52) to Essendon’s 2.3 (15). Jeremy Cameron has already kicked a couple of goals and the crowd’s really buzzing every time the ball comes near him. But it hasn’t been an easy night for everyone, with a few scary moments like Luamon Lual getting badly hurt in a collision, though thankfully he seems okay.
So, the story tonight is about Geelong managing their players smartly with that late change, and Jeremy Cameron doing what he does best — piling on goals as the Cats march confidently towards the finals. Essendon, meanwhile, are still fighting through tough times and injuries, trying to find a spark to turn their season around.
It’s shaping up to be an interesting match with plenty to watch, especially if Cameron keeps up his goal-scoring spree. Fingers crossed for a safe and exciting finish for both teams!
