Geelong famous person Jeremy Cameron has been discharged from hospital and cleared of any points past the concussion which compelled him to be stretched from GMHBA Stadium on Thursday evening.
Cameron was knocked out in an unintentional collision with teammate Gary Rohan and despatched to hospital for remark.
But the membership on Friday afternoon confirmed he had been launched and would enter AFL concussion protocols with additional evaluation to find out a taking part in return within the coming weeks.
“Geelong forward Jeremy Cameron was discharged from hospital in the early hours of this morning after being involved in a collision during the first quarter of last night’s match against Melbourne at GMHBA Stadium,” the membership mentioned in an announcement.
“Following further assessment at the hospital Cameron has been cleared of any initial concerns and will continue to be assessed and monitored by the Club’s medical staff.
“Cameron has entered the League’s concussion protocols and will miss the Club’s Round 16 match against the Sydney Swans next Friday night.
Rohan looked shell-shocked after the collision but after the Cats senior players got around him, the forward Rohan showed some steely resolve, kicking a goal in the minutes after before going on to star in his team’s win over Melbourne.
It could have easily gone the other way, but Rohan’s maturity drew high praise from coach Chris Scott for showing care for Cameron and then for the game in what was a must-win clash for the Cats.
“I don’t generally individualise … but to my eye Rohan was the most dangerous player on the ground,” Scott mentioned.
“Because he is the person he is, it did rattle him because he is not a sociopath. He has some empathy for one of his best friends who he’s accidentally knocked out.
“The way he could refocus on what the team needed was very admirable.
“He was really rattled by it as one would expect, but his approach and maturity to really attack the game (was admirable) and if anyone won the game for us it was him, so I am really proud of him and others as well.”
An replace on Cameron, who was despatched to hospital for remark after being lucid within the rooms, is anticipated on Friday.
He’ll miss the grand closing rematch with Sydney, however Scott is assured it’s not too severe.
“I certainly haven’t had any indication that it’s a horrible situation,” Scott mentioned.
“Any time one of your players needs to be taken to hospital, even if it is for observation, it leaves us all a little bit shaken.”
Rohan completed the evening with three targets in Geelong’s 15-point win that stored the reigning premiers in contact with the highest eight.
