GIANTS star full forward Jeremy Cameron will miss Sunday's match against the Eagles in Perth after being told he can't fly for a month because of a burst eardrum.
Cameron had surgery to implant an artificial eardrum on Tuesday following a blow to his ear in the match against the Suns last Saturday week.

SUPERCOACH STUDS AND DUDS
Cameron was able play in Saturday's 35-point loss to Port Adelaide after travelling to Canberra by car, but the trip to Perth is too far.
"It's a two-and-a-half day drive over there and the same coming back, you would nearly lose a whole week," Giants coach Leon Cameron said.
"It's hard because you've got an almost fit player who could play but can't get to the venue in a suitable way, so he'll miss."

The Giants coach said he would be able to play at almost every other city in Australia except Perth.
"We've got an eight-day break and he could take off on Wednesday to play in Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane or the Gold Coast," Cameron said.
"The other side of Australia is a bit too far. He can't fly for four weeks so to think of going there any other way is impossible."
The 21-year-old has been told he may never regain 100 per cent hearing in his damaged ear. He managed just one goal in the match against Port Adelaide to bring his season tally to 17.
As well as a sore ear Cameron has also been carrying an ankle injury.
"It catches up to you," Cameron said.

"He's been struggling just to play each week because of his ankle. You can tell he has de-trained over the last month because he hasn't been able to do all the training. He's just been getting to the line which has hurt him.
"He still hits the scoreboard, he's working on a number of things in his game in terms of winning more ball and understanding running patterns as a centre half forward.
"Most young players go up and down but Jeremy still manages to score goals because he has that freakish nature."
After a rash of injuries to key players the Giants are starting to get back to full strength. Shane Mumford is still doubtful for the Eagles match but Lachie Whitfield played a full game in the NEAFL and Rhys Palmer and Dylan Shiel both pulled up well from their returns from injury.
