The former West Coast dual premiership player and GC SUNS’ coach qualified for Life Membership on the basis of his combined tally of premiership games, pre-season games and state games, both as a player and a coach.
AFL Chief Executive Officer Andrew Demetriou said the Commission congratulated McKenna on his award and that the game looked forward to thanking him personally again for his contribution to football, both on-field as a player and coach and off-field for his service.
McKenna played 267 senior games for West Coast between 1988-2000, including the club’s first two premierships in 1992 and 1994, and has coached the GC SUNS since the club entered the competition for the 2011 season.
