The North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos has acquired one of the strongest lists in AFLW history.

Emma Kearney (Western Bulldogs)
165cm - Midfielder

Having been awarded the 2018 league best-and-fairest, club best-and-fairest and winning the Premiership, Kearney is by far, the best player in the competition.

Kearney has long ties to North from her early playing career with Melbourne University Women’s Football Club (MUWFC), where she won five best-and-fairest awards and served as captain.

The 28-year-old’s list of achievements is phenomenal, and the dual athlete (cricket & football) will play a vital role for the Roos.

The two-time All-Australian has also taken up a role as sport and recreation co-ordinator with North's award winning not-for-profit education arm, The Huddle. 

“Emma has an elite ability to accumulate the football around the ground as well as being a dominant stoppage player. She plays with genuine intent and ferocity,” North AFLW list manager Rhys Harwood told North Media.

“She will add tremendous leadership and experience to the club both on and off the field.”
