Sydney Swans star Tanya Kennedy
Tanya Kennedy reflects on her incredible year, from not knowing if she would be on an AFLW list to starring in her debut season.
The Donegal defender reviews her 2023 campaign, the highlights and what she wants to work on next season. Kennedy has penned a one-year contract extension for the 2024 AFLW season with the Sydney Swans.
The Castlefin clubwoman (30) joined the Swans as an injury replacement this year, before becoming the linchpin of the team’s defence, averaging 13 disposals, six kicks and seven handballs per game.
Kennedy’s consistency and composure went a long way to helping the Swans reach the first semi-final in their AFLW history having lost all of their regular season matches in their inaugural season last year.
Kennedy will once again have Donegal teammate Moville's Niamh McLaughlin for company in the AFLW as she stays on with the Gold Coast Suns.
Glenfin's Yvonne Bonner as called it a day Down Under at the Adelaide Crows but Naomh Conaill's Amy Boyle Carr will take her place there.
