Had an injury-interuppted season in 2018, but that didn't stop him from having a profound impact on the Eagles premiership win. After undergoing ankle surgery in December, Kennedy didn't play until round four, but hit the ground runnig with five goals. Despite further injury keeping him to just 14 games for the year, the full-forward didn't go goalless in any game this year, booting 43 goals from his 14 games. Starred in September, booting nine goals in the three finals, including three in the Eagles' grand final win.
