News: the Footballer Dominating the Field, 7 Foolproof Ways to ….. Roaming Jeremy
Geelong’s choice to let Coleman Medallist Jeremy Cameron to go around the footy field at his leisure is exactly what they were hoping for when they started adjusting his nomadic role.
In doing so, Geelong has introduced “Roaming Jeremy,” a weapon as cunning and potent as it can dismantle team defense, the cornerstone of any premiership contender’s strategy.
Cameron scored five goals last weekend, including his 19th of the season and the game-winning goal, defying Carlton’s hours of preparation. Melbourne will take the field against the meandering mauler on Saturday night.
This year, 41.7 percent of Cameron’s disposals have occurred in the forward 50, which is the lowest percentage he has had since joining Geelong.
Additionally, he has won 6.3% of disposals in the defensive 50, which is the greatest percentage he has achieved since he gained 7.5 percent of his touches in that area of the field during his 2012 debut year with GWS.
The finest judges in the game are racking their brains trying to figure out how to stop him because of his agility and skill at using the ball wherever he finds it.
Getting the correct match-up for him is nearly hard, according to Geelong defender and former Crows coach Brenton Sanderson.
He can walk up and down the ground and is quite mobile and fit. A crucial position player really can’t be on him. He will simply destroy him, so you must have a runner. However, he will undoubtedly take you back inside the forward 50, so if you have a runner on him inside that 50, he will simply outmuscle you.
Sanderson proposed utilizing two players who can match the Cats forward in one area, if not the other, to share the workload for “Operation Stop Cameron.”
“I don’t mind the double team: the bigger, stronger guy inside 50 and the mobile player running up the ground,” Sanderson remarked.
He did, however, acknowledge that it was frequently better in principle than in reality to assign a teammate to take over for a player who was storming back towards the goal.
When they are above the ground, Sanderson stated, “[You can] let them off the leash a bit. But, when they get back inside the forward 50, you have to get the right match up to re-engage.”
It is never easy to do that. The change is not simple. The transition is actually quite difficult, especially given the way these folks operate these days.
Such handovers must seem to crucial defenders like trying to stop running water while standing in a river, especially with Geelong’s explosive forwards Brad Close, Tyson Stengle, and Gryan Miers contributing to the mayhem as Tom Hawkins lowers anchor inside the fifty.
Given that he hasn’t won any of his 14 one-on-one battles this year, it implies Cameron doesn’t need to worry about winning one-on-one competitions. The “dart from Dartmoor,” on the other hand, is third in the league for goal yielding when he is targeted within the wide forward 50 that Geelong produces.
In the last two seasons, close, his close buddy and golfing partner, has knocked him up thirteen times in stretches that have resulted in Cameron scoring.
The 2008 Richmond great Matthew Richardson wowed the audience with 48 goals while utilizing his height as a wingman. Cameron still plays primarily as a forward, but he had a more defined role and was equally adept at confusing opponents.
Richardson stated, “I found that having a typical wingman on me was an advantage, but if I pushed forward and they didn’t switch over, I was getting a mismatch going forward.”
Although team defenses were simpler during Richo’s day, Richardson claims that the Cats forward’s athleticism is posing a threat to contemporary defensive strategies.
According to Richardson, “he gets up the ground [against] team defense, and then he just waltzes back through and nobody actually tries to pick him up.” “They might, but it doesn’t seem like anyone is doing it,”
According to Richardson, teams that wish to maintain their current team defense strategy will find it extremely difficult to implement Cameron’s system.
