Eagles pair Land at Lions Den

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.”
