Experience:
Reflecting Carlton’s significant investment in women’s football, Patty Kinnersly made history by becoming the Blues’ first designated Board member to oversee the AFLW/VFLW programs.

With her insight and guidance, Kinnersly enhances the work of the Club’s flagship community program in Carlton Respects, as well as community and diversity programs more broadly.

Alongside an extensive corporate career, Kinnersly has 14 years of playing experience in the VWFL for the Ballarat Lions, Fairfield Falcons and Parkside Magpies, playing in five premierships and representing Victoria on 10 occasions, twice as captain.
