Hailing from Victoria, Emile-Brennan is eager to embrace the challenge of high-level SANFL football and further his development.

"Coming across from the VFL, [I'm] just looking to get as much out of myself as possible. I aim to push myself to the next level, contributing to my development and hopefully securing a regular spot at league level."

Looking ahead to the 2024 Hostplus SANFL League Season, Emile-Brennan expressed his anticipation for community involvement.

"The main thing I'm looking forward to in 2024 is to get involved with the community."

Senior Coach Jarrad Wright is looking forward to what Emile-Brennan will bring to the side. 

"He has an elite kick, good decision maker and will have a good impact off Half Back  in the senior program." Said Senior Coach Jarrad Wright. 

"Finn had a strong 2022 season for Dandenong Stingrays and also playing for Vic Country along side of good mate Jonti Schuback."

"Part of Melbourne Demons NGA academy, Finn played 2 games in 2023 in the VFL for Casey and show promising signs after a long stint out with injury."

"We are delighted to get Finn into the program to continue his development at South Adelaide."
