Unfortunately Coyne ruptured her ACL towards the end of the 2023 season and has not played a game since after missing all of 2024 and was subsequently delisted by the Bulldogs.
In a statement, Hawthorn said they were excited to welcome Coyne:
“Keely is a talented and skilful young player who we think will complement our exciting brand of football,” AFLW List Manager Keegan Brooksby said.
“Having already experienced three seasons of AFLW, we think she will be a great fit in our backline and our club overall.
“We’re looking forward to seeing what Keely can produce in the brown and gold.”
Cat becomes Swan
