Brennan is an athletic, key forward with a fierce work ethic. The consummate professional, the 23-year-old is one of the women’s game’s most influential players and highly respected by her peers.

Introduced to the game by her parents as a young girl growing up on the family farm south of Brisbane, Brennan got her first taste of competitive football as a fill-in for her older brother Paul’s under eights team. Brennan kicked seven goals as a late inclusion and the rest was history.

Success has followed Brennan on her football journey, winning eleven successive premierships dating back to her junior days , the last three at Victorian Women’s Football League powerhouse Darebin Falcons.

Brennan captained her native state Queensland’s under 18 representative side for fours years (2007-2010), was a member of the AIS – AFL Academy in 2011 and is a dual All-Australian.

Since moving to Victoria in 2013, Brennan has established herself as arguably the dominant key forwards in the country, and has kicked over 150 goals in her past three seasons in the VFL Women’s competition,  at an average of over three goals per game.

Brennan has represented the Western Bulldogs for the past four years since the inception of the AFL Women’s Exhibition Series, drafted at pick 22 overall in the inaugural AFL Women’s Draft in 2013.

In 2015, Brennan won the inaugural Susan Alberti Award as the Western Bulldogs’ Women’s Team Best & Fairest Player from the AFL Women’s Exhibition Series.

Away from football, Brennan is studying Exercise and Sports Science at the Australian Catholic University and runs her own personal training business, KB Performance.
