Hawthorn Football Club has informed Isabelle Porter and Dominique Carbone that they will not be offered a contract for the 2023 AFLW season.
Isabelle Porter, 25, made eight appearances for the club in the 2022 season, averaging five disposals per game. Coming off an injury-interrupted pre-season, she made her debut in Round 3.
Dominique Carbone, 21, was recruited from Hawthorn’s VFLW program and made her AFLW debut in Round 1. She went on to feature in six matches, averaging six possessions per game.
AFLW List Manager, Mitchell Cashion, thanked the pair for their service to the club. “Isabelle and Dominique were valued members of our AFLW team,” said Cashion. “We thank each player for their contributions to the club and wish them all the best for their future endeavors. They will forever be remembered as inaugural Hawthorn AFLW players.”
The departures of Porter and Carbone, along with the retirements of Jess Duffin and Kate McCarthy, mean that four players have now left the Hawthorn AFLW team from the 2022 season.
