AFL clubs: GWS Giants, Carlton
Carlton debut: Round 1, 2018
Recruited from: Collingullie/GWS Giants
Brownlow Medal votes: 5

Extending his contract with the Blues until the end of 2025, Matt Kennedy proved himself at the highest level in 2022, making a strong impact as an inside midfielder. 

Finding his feet alongside Patrick Cripps and housemate Sam Walsh, Kennedy’s contest work is certainly a strength, using his bigger body to outpoint opposition on-ballers and gain possession out of tough situations. 

Also handy around the goals, 2022 was Kennedy’s most consistent season in terms of selection: the Collingullie product has now played 59 games with the Blues since moving from the Giants.

Unfortunately, a foot injury cut Kennedy’s 2022 season short, but he will be looking to carry his career-best form into 2023.
