Cameron Guthrie Biography

Cam Guthrie is delisted by Geelong after 240 games for the Cats, but just 10 since the start of 2023 due to injuries.

"Cam has been an outstanding and dedicated servant of the Geelong Football Club, both on and off the field," Cats executive general manager of football Andrew Mackie said.

"Cam will always be a great Geelong person, with his influence extending well beyond what he achieved on the field."

Cam Guthrie undergoes surgery for an Achilles injury and is set to miss the start of the 2025 season.

"The aim for Cameron is to be back on the track in the next fortnight and integrated into football drills within the month. A return to play timeline will be finalised in the early stages of the season." Cats footy boss Andrew Mackie said.

After a breakout All-Australian season, Cam Guthrie wins Geelong's best and fairest award for 2020.

Guthrie (228 votes) edged out Tom Hawkins (224) and Mark Blicavs (221) in a tight finish to the 'Carji' Greeves Medal count.

Cam Guthrie signs a new three-year deal to remain at Geelong until the end of 2021.

Cam Guthrie will be battling to return in the finals after suffering a calf strain just after half-time in Geelong's qualifying final against Richmond.

Joel Selwood will lead Geelong once again after the club announced at its season launch on Wednesday night he would be Cats captain for the sixth consecutive season in 2017.

The 28-year-old's brother, Scott Selwood, will join him in the eight-man leadership group for the first time with 24-year-old Cam Guthrie also making his debut in the group.

Harry Taylor, Patrick Dangerfield, Tom Hawkins, Mitch Duncan and Mark Blicavs round out the Cats' leadership group for the year.

Cam Guthrie will be sidelined for a fortnight after suffering a minor calf strain against Hawthorn in the opening game of the JLT Community Series.

The 24-year-old left the ground in the first quarter and scans revealed his injury was likely to keep him out of the Cats' next match against Adelaide.

Cam Guthrie says he is looking to spend more time in defence next season after the off-season arrival of midfielders Patrick Dangerfield and Scott Selwood.

"There will be more depth in the midfield so guys might be playing different positions a bit more," Guthrie said.

"I've been spending a bit more time in defence in the pre-season, so I'll probably juggle that throughout the year - midfield and playing as a defender."

Cameron Guthrie re-signs with the Cats for a further three years, committing to the club until at least the end of 2018.

"It's an exciting place to be around," Guthrie said.

"The club has been a big part of my adult life. I played a bit as a defender in my first few years, and I've transitioned into the midfield more recently, and the team's been playing some good footy."

Against Hawthorn on Saturday night, Geelong midfielder Cameron Guthrie set a statistical record that is unlikely to be chased with much vigour.

With his 33 disposals, Guthrie gained just 24 metres to unwittingly set a new mark for the fewest metres gained by a player registering 30 or more disposals in a game.

While the title might seem unwanted, Brownlow medallist Jobe Watson held it before Guthrie, having gained just 38 metres in a 30-possession game against Collingwood in round 20, 2010.

The Match Review Panel offers Jarryd Roughead a reprimand for his bump on Geelong's Cameron Guthrie, allowing him to play in this week's Grand Final.

Emerging defender Cameron Guthrie looks likely to win selection when Geelong begins its premiership defence against Fremantle.

"All you can do is put you best foot forward and hopefully try to impress the coach with the way you go about things," Guthrie said.

"I've been pretty consistent, but my main goal is to just play my role for the team."

Geelong defender Cameron Guthrie says he is feeling fitter and stronger and aims to build on his two-game career in 2012.

I've put on about seven kilos since I got to the club, so hopefully I can mix it with the big boys now," he said.

"I think I've been doing tougher training this pre-season, but I'm coping better at the same time.

"Being in my second year at the club, my body is feeling fitter and stronger, so hopefully I can keep building on that in the next couple of years."

Cameron Guthrie makes his AFL debut for Geelong at the MCG with 13 disposals (5 kicks and 8 handballs), 2 marks and 2 tackles in a 1-point win over St Kilda.
