Kelsey Rypstra is a small pressure forward from North Adelaide (SANFL) who arrived at the Kennel via the 2024 AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft. A broken leg hindered his on-field opportunities last year, but the 20-year-old had been playing regular senior football with the Roosters before being drafted - averaging 11 disposals, three marks and three tackles from five games.
