Kemp first joined the AFLW in its inaugural season and went on to spend three years with Melbourne. After overcoming three ACL injuries and being delisted by the Demons, the 25-year-old joined Hawthorn’s VFLW side in 2021 as a runner under Bec Goddard. In 2022, she returned to play and made the leadership group, leading by example in defence with averages of 14.2 disposals and 4.3 marks from 10 games.
