Chris Scott remains coy on Tom Stewart's availability, but the Geelong coach has declared wounded Cats star Jeremy Cameron a certain starter for their blockbuster battle against Fremantle.
Scott revealed Cameron, who is still dealing with the effects of a broken arm suffered in last year's grand final loss, has been hampered by hip issue.
The 33-year-old has still battled through the pain to kick 37 goals to be second in the Coleman Medal race, only behind Gold Coast spearhead Ben King.
"He's had a little bit of hip irritation so he gets a some treatment on that that's there," Scott told reporters of Cameron in Geelong on Tuesday.
"We wouldn't try to hide it if it was serious.
"It's something that he's managing a bit, but his movement is still pretty good.
