A powerful forward, Kendra Blattman's rise continued in 2025 with the NSW-ACT talent moving north to Bond University where she further cemented her place as one of the most reliable goalkickers. Though initially touted to play back, she was thrown forward out of necessity in Round 1 and never looked back, kicking 40 goals across 16 rounds to secure the QAFLW Leading Goalkicker Award.

Blattman's hands are as strong as anyone's going around, and she is difficult to spoil. That, combined with her penetrative and accurate kick enables her plenty of chances on goal - and being able to capitalise - throughout matches. Though not the most athletic player who is still developing on her speed and endurance, Blattman is a proven goalkicker across multiple competitions, having also starred as a defender and ruck in the past.

The Bull Sharks tall now has a couple of ultra-consistent years behind her, and the ability to play across all three lines having come through the Sydney Swans initially. Readymade for the top level through her size and presence, Blattman only turned 20 this year and still has plenty of time left to further develop.
