Premiership Cat and dual Carji Greeves Medallist Cam Guthrie has not been offered a contract for next season, ending a 240-game career after being selected at pick 23 in the 2010 AFL draft.
Drafted from the Sunbury Lions and the Calder Cannons, Guthrie became a key player for the Cats.
Guthrie’s standout season came in 2020 where he was awarded his first Carji Greeves Medal as Geelong’s best and fairest and earned selection in the All-Australian team.
In 2022, Guthrie was awarded Geelong life membership and played a key role in Geelong’s premiership victory on his way to securing his second Carji Greeves Medal.
While the final three seasons of his career were impacted by injury, Guthrie continued to work hard to get back and remained dedicated and diligent with his rehabilitation and training program.
Geelong Cats football executive general manager Andrew Mackie paid tribute to Guthrie’s contribution to the club.
“Cam has been an outstanding and dedicated servant of the Geelong Football Club, both on and off the field,” he said.
“He has been ultra-consistent and had the special ability to elevate his game in key moments and times of success, particularly throughout our 2022 premiership campaign.
“Cam will always be a great Geelong person, with his influence extending well beyond what he achieved on the field.”
