What the club said:
A product of Mckinnon Secondary College – Joel Chilcott came-up through the Old Mckinnon / Glen Eira U19s program sharing the spoils of the U19s Best and Fairest in 2022. Still eligible for U19s football, Joel has become a permanent fixture in the table topping Glen Eira Gryphons senior squad in 2023.
Boasting a large frame and strength well beyond his years, Joel is among the clubs elite when it comes to attack on the ball and/or ball carrier. His forward pressure has become a hall mark of his well rounded game as he holds down a key position spot a Centre Half Forward. Glen Eira Gryphons Senior Coach Jon Edgar commends Joel for his coachability, passion and ultimate love for the game which has allowed him to have such early success at senior level.
Club President, Kye Cherian said: “Joel is an absolute pleasure to have around the club, one of those electrifying players that makes magic happen on the field. Off-the field he’s already displaying all the hallmarks of a great clubman and personality to have around. He has a twin brother (Aidan) who is playing great footy in our U19s and his father (Andrew) and mother (Elizabeth) are regulars down at Packer Park watching their sons play.”
