Central District tall forward Katelyn Rosenzweig returned from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in 2023 to pick up where she left off in 2021 and play a key part in the Bulldogs' SANFL Women's premiership season. After missing all of 2022, Rosenzweig returned with a bang, slotting 23 goals in 15 games, winning the competition leading goalkicker and providing a presence inside 50.

The Dogs lacked talls inside 50 last year, but added returning height with 'Rosie' and Chantel Reynolds providing a one-two punch. Rosenzweig kicked a goal in all bar four of her games, including one haul of four goals against Sturt in a narrow win and two bags of three.

Her game is underpinned by her strength and contested marking, showing fantastic physicality inside 50 and leading out to half-forward. Boasting a penetrating kick, Rosenzweig can convert goals from long-range and do it consistently, having been a former Crows draftee without playing a game back in 2019.

Rosenzweig has a 1-wood in her game being a contested marking and goalkicking forward, but she does it as well as anyone else. She might not be athletic - with her speed and agility lower than some other forwards - but she makes up for it with her hands, presence and consistency.
