I needed a purpose that stood on its own.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For Griffin, the light-bulb moment came during a discussion with Spirit general manager Dan Jackson in which he spoke of his vision for the club and where he wanted to take it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dan spoke about wanting to fill the stadium and build something the Bendigo community genuinely wants to be part of, which really resonated with me because that&#8217;s always been important to me,&#8221; the 38-year-old said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I said that if I was going to invest in that vision, I&#8217;d want to do it in an official capacity within SEN.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wanted a seat at the table to be a part of the conversations, help shape decisions and be accountable for the impact I&#8217;m trying to have.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve always invested in this club off the court, so this felt like a natural extension of that. Especially after completing my MBA, it felt like the right time to learn about the business of sport and contribute more intentionally.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And yes, I might have thrown in that Assistant GM sounded like a pretty good title too.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What excites me most about another season isn&#8217;t what I might achieve; it&#8217;s watching this group continue to grow and being part of that day to day.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30038\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30038 \" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2026\/07\/653711562_1939858286_94146.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"771\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kelsey Griffin says her teammates and their potential as a group played a part in her re-signing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m excited about the goals Dan, SEN and I have set, and all of the learning that will come along the way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Griffin is coming off another standout 2025\u201326 campaign in which she shouldered a heavy load on and off the court in the absence of co-captain Marianna Tolo due to pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>As well as leading the Spirit to another finals campaign and third spot on the ladder, Griffin was also rewarded with selection in the WNBL26 All-Star Second Team.<\/p>\n<p>The former Australian Opal averaged 11.5 points and a team-high 10.3 rebounds per game during the regular season, providing stability, toughness and high-level decision-making at both ends of the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Only league MVP Izzy Borlase (22.84) and Tolo (12.71) in her limited appearances averaged more in the scoring department.
