The Brisbane Lions have bolstered its premiership-winning list by securing West Coast duo Shanae Davison and Eleanor Hartill in a three-club trade which also involved Geelong.

To complete the trade for the Eagles pair the Lions sent pick 24 to West Coast, while trading young Lion Bella Smith along with pick 32 and pick 41 to the Geelong Cats.

Geelong traded Annabel Johnson to the West Coast Eagles and pick 36 and pick 57 to the Lions.

Davison, known for her outside run and ball-use, is coming off her best season at AFLW level, playing nine games and reaching career highs across the stats sheet.

Hartill, an athletic and versatile 23-year-old who stands at 185-centimetres, arrives in Brisbane after two promising seasons at the Eagles where she played 16 games.

“We’re very excited to have Shanae and Eleanor join us at the Lions in 2024 and feel they will fit well into our group,” Lions Head of Women’s Football, Breanna Brock said.
“Eleanor will be a great addition to our group, she brings with her a unique set of skills and we excited to see her develop in our program.

“She is someone that we have identified can be used at both ends of ground as well as in the ruck if needed.”

Brisbane Lions ruck Eleanor Hartill will play her 25th AFLW game when she runs out on Sunday afternoon to take on the Swans.

After joining the Lions during the Sign and Trade Period from the West Coast Eagles where she played her first 16 games of her career.

A former NBL1 basketballer, Hartill has enjoyed a strong start to the year as a Lion playing eight games so far in 2024.

Playing as a second ruck and forward option, Hartill has been a consistent performer while allowing Taylor Smith to play as a pure forward for majority of the season.

“To be playing 25 games this weekend is such an honour and a privilege,” Hartill said.

“I owe a lot to West Coast for giving me my start in AFLW, I learnt and developed so much with them in my two years there.

“And then getting the opportunity to come over to Brisbane and continue my development with such an amazing group of girls and coaching staff and I can’t wait to see how much we can achieve this season.”

Hartill made her Club debut in Week 2 against Melbourne and has become a permanent fixture in Lions AFLW senior coach, Craig Starcevich’s side forming a one-two punch in the ruck with Tahlia Hickie.
