Melton has received a boost with a former favourite son returning to the club where he grew up.
The Ballarat Football League club on Sunday announced that Adam Kennedy would pull on the jumper next year.
Kennedy, who played his junior football at the Bloods, was drafted to Greater Western Sydney where he played 153 AFL games.
The Bloods in a social media post said that Kennedy was one of Melton’s finest.
“After a stellar AFL career with the GWS Giants, playing over 150 games at the elite level, Adam is currently a development coach with the Sydney Swans and when fixtures align will be able to don the Bloods jumper with his childhood mates where it all began,” the club said.
“A proud Melton junior, Adam’s journey from our local footy fields to the big stage has been nothing short of inspirational.
“He adds experience, leadership, and passion to the club and Bloods community that helped shape him. Adam will continue to support our footy program, sharing his insights into leadership, game style, and high-performance culture – and yes, we will see him in the Bloods jumper again
“Adam loves his club, values the connection, he has supported our program the last two years even jumping in as our runner in the 2024 premiership team.”
