Geelong enhanced their premiership credentials and raised further question marks around Port Adelaide’s with a high-quality 21-point victory on Thursday night.

The Cats had to absorb a first-quarter Connor Rozee whirlwind, a 21-point second-term deficit and a Power surge to start the fourth term to notch their fifth successive victory.Prized off-season recruit Jeremy Cameron showed why he could be the missing puzzle piece to take Geelong to the top of the mountain, bagging five goals, ably supported in attack by Tom Hawkins and Gary Rohan .

Cameron outmarked Aliir Aliir and converted following a Power turnover, Hawkins goaled after taking advantage of a mismatch against Lachie Jones, Lachie Henderson drilled a set shot and Brendan Parfitt got on the end of an unbroken coast-to-coast chain, Geelong suddenly up by three points at half-time.A couple of simple misses from Rohan and Esava Ratugolea either side of Ollie Wines’ team-lifting major gave Port a sniff.

The Cats then replied with three majors in less than three breathtaking minutes, Cameron slotting two of them and setting up the other for Isaac Smith, before jagging his fifth to keep the hosts at bay.Port coach Ken Hinkley rushed to Rozee’s defence last month amid speculation the richly talented but out-of-sorts forward might be relegated to the SANFL.
