Geelong Ends Cam Guthrie's 240-Game Tenure With No 2026 Deal

The decision follows injury-hit seasons that curtailed his availability.

Overview

  • The club confirmed on Monday that 33-year-old midfielder Cam Guthrie was not offered a contract for 2026, ending his time at Geelong after 240 games.
  • Guthrie departs as a dual Carji Greeves Medallist, a 2020 All-Australian and a key contributor to the Cats' 2022 premiership.
  • He played only 10 matches from 2023 onward as foot, quad, Achilles and calf issues limited his selection.
  • Football boss Andrew Mackie praised Guthrie as an outstanding and dedicated club servant whose influence extended beyond on-field achievements.
  • The move forms part of broader list changes that include Mitch Duncan’s retirement to a West Coast assistant role, Patrick Retschko’s trade to Richmond and Xavier Ivisic’s delisting, with several others yet to secure 2026 contracts.
