JOSH Kennedy capped a stunning season with a starring role in the Sydney Swans' solid victory over Collingwood on Friday night that secured his adopted club a Grand Final berth.

Kennedy had 30 possessions (19 contested), 10 clearances and kicked two goals to add another chapter to a season that has already yielded a first All Australian nod.

There is a chance he could now line up against Hawthorn in the Grand Final, the club where he started his career and where his father and grandfather both made their names.

But he had a quick response when asked if he would love to take on his old side in the decider at the MCG.

"Couldn't care either way mate," Kennedy told sydneyswans.com.au.

"I'll watch the game tomorrow and I'm just happy to be there. We've got a ticket and anything can happen.

"I'm stoked. It's a childhood dream to play in a Grand Final and now it's just trying to get one more win.

"I don't know whether it really has sunk in yet, but during the week we'll try to keep it as normal as possible and just enjoy it as well."

Kennedy could have another task at hand before he reaches the Grand Final as he is considered a decent chance to win the Brownlow Medal on Monday night.

Asked if he had any thoughts on his prospects, the laidback Kennedy replied: "Not really, we're not going down (to Melbourne for the event).

"All the focus is on next Saturday."

His coach John Longmire was also asked about Kennedy's Brownlow chances and in typical Swans' style, individual awards are far from a focus.

"His grandfather John Kennedy senior was my first coach and he'll be making sure he's focused (on the Grand Final)," Longmire said.

"But he might be (a winner). He's had a terrific year, he's hard and he's clean."

Most felt the Swans had an advantage in having the week off to take on a Collingwood side coming off a tough semi-final against West Coast and an emotional funeral for former teammate John McCarthy.

But the area the Pies were viewed as having an edge was the midfield, stocked with All Australians Dayne Beams, Dane Swan and Scott Pendlebury.

Instead, Kennedy, Jarrad McVeigh, Ryan O'Keefe and Dan Hannebery ran riot in a critical victory for the home side.

Kennedy acknowledged his fellow onballers had played well, but felt it had been an all-round performance.

"We were really confident with our preparation and we knew we'd had a pretty solid four weeks leading into the game and the week off was really good," Kennedy said.

"We were confident in each other and our game plan and it really showed.

"The things we wanted to do, we did, and if we'd kicked a bit straighter it could've been a bit easier.

"But it was a tough game, and they're a really quality side."
