The father-son Demon arrived at Melbourne via the 2023 Rookie Draft, realising his dream to follow in the footsteps of his father Nathan. Playing 146 games in red and blue from 1998 to 2007, Nathan was a dogged small defender known for his tenacity and courage. Kynan showed his father’s determination is genetic, coming on as the sub in his debut match against North Melbourne to make a desperate match-winning tackle. The 181cm midfielder added forward and wing craft to his repertoire in his first year for the Demons, playing two AFL and 18 VFL matches. A 27 disposal, 24 tackle performance against Frankston indicates a promising future as a contested midfielder.
