In his own words
What type of player are you?
I am team-oriented, hard working, focused, a good decision-maker and reliable.

Which AFL player do you feel you resemble and why?
Ryan O'Keefe. He's versatile, skilful, and attacks the footy hard on the ground and in the air.

What are your strengths as a footballer?
I have clean hands. Versatility, hard tackling and winning the contested ball.

What parts of your game would you like to improve?
I need to improve how I run and carry, kick goals from the midfield, and my aerobic capacity.

Which AFL team do you support and how did you come to barrack for them?
I do not have a favourite AFL team. I just enjoy watching good players play.

Who has been the biggest influence on your career so far, and why?
My family. They are supportive, encouraging and provide guidance.

Please slide to here. Thankyou.

Watching his highlights last night he reminds me of Stephen Reynoldson. Good moving left footer. Now thats a name from the past.

Looks like a Kelly/Bartel type, good all round footballer with nothing flashy.

Interesting that he doesn't have a favorite team, perhaps he was hedging his bets?!

Re: 2010 National Draft selection no. 23-Cameron Guthrie

Don't understand how a kid can grow up playing the game without supporting a team. Most supporters of any team enjoy watching the good players thoughout the league.

Oh well, doesn't matter now.

Very very excited about this guy's ability to read the play and drop into the hole. Excellent disposal. Looks to be a fantastic selection by Wells.

Re: Numbers for new draftees

Yes - 29 is Guthrie and Smedts has No 2 according to gfc.com:

"GEELONG has wasted no time handing over Gary Ablett's old number, with recruit Cameron Guthrie to run around with 29 on his back next season.

...

Geelong's top draft pick, midfielder Billie Smedts, has been given the No.2, which was last worn by dual premiership captain Tom Harley."
