Kernahan was signed by Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL) in 1981, but he didn’t move to the club until 1986 due to his ambition to play in a premiership with his best mates at Glenelg.

In 1983, Kernahan was a member of the South Australian side which defeated Victoria in Adelaide for the first time in 18 years. He kicked 10 goals in a losing side against Victoria at Football Park in Adelaide in 1984, winning the Fos Williams Medal as South Australia’s player of the match. He was a mainstay of the South Australian state of origin teams throughout his careers at Glenelg and Carlton, playing a total of sixteen games for the Croweaters, winning a second Fos Williams Medal in 1988, and captaining the team in 1996.

Stephen Kernahan is the son of Glenelg footballer, general manager and legend Harry Kernahan, and the older brother of former Glenelg and Carlton player David Kernahan. He began his senior career with Glenelg in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) in 1981 and played 136 games, kicking 290 goals, winning 3 straight best and fairest awards.
