JEFF Kennett has a dream ... for Hawthorn to be the first AFL club to field a female player.
In one of his regular letters to members on the club website, the Hawks’ president said that women’s increased participation in other fields, such as the military, proved to him that it was not an impossible dream, the Herald Sun reports.
"I still harbour a dream that will see Hawthorn have the first female player among our ranks," Kennett said.
"Impossible? Not when I think of the advances of women in the army or services generally, or in flight around the globe as astronauts, or many other occupations where the inclusion of women has changed dramatically in our lifetime."
