Chased, tackled, hit the body and didn't embarass himself when he got the ball.
Just keep doing it Matt, you're on your way.

Good start from the kid, hope he gets another shot next week. Felt like he got better as the game went on and he became accustomed to the pace. Kid has wheels and doesn’t shy from the contest... assets we need in the 22.
Watching Cottrell in his first pre-season is similar to Honey this past pre-season - You had to wonder why they weren't picked up earlier.
Matthew won't be dropped this week and if his game picks up in only small increments and given our injury list, he may yet play out the rest of this season.
If we ever see Cottrell closer to goal, he can make good of opportunity in the forward line also. His kicking was quality a few months back.

I get the feeling he is a warrior that will be on the list in 10 years through work ethic

I feel that way on the strength of what I've seen from him, across two years.
Coaches love discipline and this guy always seems to be in tune at training.
He may not be a ball magnet but there are roles for disciplined players and especially so for those that have speed, endurance, the will to win and a good kick to boot. He has a 'winner' attitude.

Would have liked to have seen him win the ball a little more but did a good job as a run with player and looks like he has a good burst of speed, which always helps.

Is it wrong to have an Armfield vibe about him?
That would be no bad thing by the way.

Ha.. Mr.T hairdo vibe...
Just watched the replay he had a good solid first game, got involved as much as he could, got too good areas and put his body in some good contests...
Smart player showed poise...

There's a genuinely terrific block from Motlop in there to get Cotters a bit of space. Good to see.

Boyhood Blue keeps living the dream
Cult hero to stay in the Navy Blue for a further three years.
Fantastic resigning. probably took unders for extra security.
