Senior 46. Matthew Cottrell

[HBF]

Defence or a run with role would be my guess.

Some speed out of defence would be ideal. An area we are really lacking.

 

[Love the Drake]

Ripper kid. Hard worker. Dedicated. Has been developing his footy skills/smarts to add to his athletic prowess (top level junior runner).

Tough challenge debuting against arguably the toughest opposition going around at the minute.

Good luck young Matt and well done on “living the dream”.

 

[Lace_Out]

Love a good debut.

Speaks highly of him to be given that opportunity against such a formidable opponent.

Good luck kid.

Could really line-up anywhere today....HBF, wing or even HFF but can see a defenders role against WCE being 1st in mind (Ryan) with a chance to run with Gaff off the wing.

Will definitely keep an eye on the 1st gamer, and hopefully many more in the navy blue if he can acquit himself well at senior level (crap weather but a great opportunity to shine in the wet).

Good luck Matt. Worked very hard to get a list spot, and has worked even harder to get a game. From all accounts he is a good young man. Wish you nothing but good luck.

Could he be the next Ed?

Good size, great tank, great determination.

Long way to go but there's time for an apprenticeship.

This is something not many get to do, Matt, and it's something no person can take from you. You earned it, too; no-one could accuse you of doing it easy.

Good luck tomorrow, mate. Go out there and give them hell.

Imagine being able to tell your kids I played AFL...

 

[Michael Jezz]

Greg Towns, if my memory serves me correctly, was our best player under Ian Stewart in 1978 and then fell off the radar under Jezza

A boyhood dream comes true.
Your Pop must be so proud.
Well done Matty
Now take this opportunity and don't look back.

 

[AlecDuncan]

Hopefully this helps with the run out of our back half. He can certainly run. Led the field at most training 400s last year.

Love this pic!

Good luck red, not 181 more like 190, living the dream red.

That's an amazing photo, Aphrodite.

good luck Matty, now is your time, go for it.

 

[SurreyBlue]

There is a long term spot in the backline for the taking. Seems you get 1st go kid. Good luck.

 

[Weiterbot23]

Impressed by his speed and strength today and we all know his endurance is elite

Ed Curnow replacement is his go imo

Wife taught him in primary school and said he was a great kid.

 

[BlueVision]

A no frills debut with plenty of effort, great stuff Matty.

 

[Jeremias]

Wasn't involved much today but when he was there, he didn't look overawed at all.

Should keep his spot next week and build on that.

 

[Gethelred]

I wouldn't read much into this week, good or bad. Going from seconds footy to AFL has never been so difficult as it has this season.

Take this spot, Matt. Take it and make it yours.

 

[Pablito]

He didn't look out of his depth, didn't get involved all that often but didn't do anything majorly wrong.
