Jeremy Cameron has topped the coaches votes in Geelong's Round 11 victory over the Western Bulldogs, awarded nine votes for his sensational performance on Thursday night. 

Following up from his seven-goal haul against Port Adelaide a week earlier, the superstar forward booted another six majors against the Bulldogs to take the outright lead in the Coleman Medal. 

Also showcasing his ability to move up the ground when required, Cameron finished with 14 disposals, eight marks and over 500 metres gained, adding nine score involvements to cap off a terrific night. 

Cameron has received 17 votes across the last two games, taking his season tally to 18 which is the fourth most of any Geelong player in 2025.

Max Holmes was adjudged the next best player on the ground by the coaches, receiving six votes for his season-high 33 disposal outing against the Bulldogs on Thursday. 

Perhaps the best highlight from the night came in the third quarter, when Holmes turned on the jets and took three bounces down the wing before slotting a brilliant goal, sending GMHBA Stadium into a frenzy with his goal of the year contender. 

Holmes also collected eight clearances, seven score involvements and five intercept possessions, playing an instrumental role in Geelong's big win. 

Bailey Smith continues to poll strongly in his dominant first season with the Cats, awarded five votes in Round 11 to take his season tally to 51, remaining in second place overall and just three votes adrift of current leader, Jordan Dawson.

The big Cat booted a career-high five goals including two late in the final quarter, finishing with 16 disposals and 11 score involvements, while also pushing into the ruck at times and winning three clearances.
