Matt 'The Mailman' Cottrell - 300 Games
Club legend Matt Cottrell will this Saturday achieve a significant achievement in Old Camberwell Grammarians Footy Club’s history by joining Jordan Heffernan as the second player in Club history to achieve the 300 games played milestone.
‘Cotters’, the son of Tim Cottrell, past player and current club official, along with brother Brett has maintained a strong family connection with the Club over many seasons.
Joining the Club in 2001, Cotters experienced Premiership success in his first season playing in the Under 19s under the tutelage of Club legend Michael “Siggy” Sigalas. It has turned out that to date, that year has been his only premiership experience. Who knows what lies ahead!
A Reserves XV111 Best & Fairest winner in 2004, 2010, 2011 & 2012 and a member of the Reserves Grand Final teams of 2006 and 2007, Matt was awarded Club Life Membership in 2012 for services to the Club over many seasons.
Now very much a family man with an extremely supportive wife and three children, Matt continues to front up each week and perform at the highest level for our Third XV111, who remain well in contention for a spot in the finals this season.
With a neat sidestep, always making him extremely difficult to tackle, Matt still patrols the midfield with great authority and as they often say … the Mailman Always Delivers!! Many of his coaches have called on him to provide something special in the big matches, being known as a ‘Good Driver in Heavy Traffic’.
Well done Matt, a great achievement for you and your family, we all look forward to seeing you achieve the next milestone – Club Games Record Holder.

Wellers Fall Short in Epic Battle at Barnard
Old Geelong 60 - Old Camberwell 52
Beanies and scarves were the order of the day as Melbourne's winter hit hard, setting the stage for a thrilling contest at Barnard Oval. The Wellers welcomed Jay Kennedy Harris and David McColl back after extended breaks, and their impact was felt immediately.
What a start it was for the Wellers, kicking the first three goals and keeping a strong Old Geelong outfit scoreless in the first quarter. Jay Kennedy Harris made his presence felt early with plenty of touches and an early goal, showcasing his skill and determination.
However, Old Geelong fought back in the second quarter with some slick ball movement, narrowing the gap and setting the stage for a tightly contested match.
The second half belonged to Geelong, who managed to kick away late in the game due to some costly errors from the Wellers. Despite the setbacks, the Wellers fought it out to the end, but Geelong surged late to secure a hard-fought victory in a demanding contest that was not for the fainthearted.
Lachlan Purcell had a standout game, along with the hard nuts in the middle, James Allen and Harrison Veitch, who never gave up. Harry Laukens continued his good form up forward and future stars of the club, Callum Rutledge and Harry McColl, were also impressive in the trying conditions.
The Wellers will need to quickly lick their wounds and prepare to face Beaumaris next week. Thanks to all supporters who braved the conditions .
