Eleanor Hartill (born 31 May 2000) is an Australian rules footballer playing for Brisbane in the AFL Women's competition (AFLW). She is a former West Coast player and NBL1 baskeballer.

Early life and basketball

Hartill is from Perth, Western Australia. Hartill played basketball from a young age and reached NBL 1 level, making an NBL1 West debut with Joondalup Wolves in 2021 before going to the Kalamunda Eastern Suns in 2022.[2]

Hartill began playing Australian rules football ruck for the Collegians in the Perth Football League.[3]

AFLW career

In 2022 the West Coast Eagles women's team were searching for an injury replacement player for Lauren Walker conducted a talent search resulting in the signing of Hartill.[3] Hartill developed slowly in 2022 before improving in 2023, becoming serviceable in the ruck with 46 hitouts in 2023.

The departure of Jesse Wardlaw from the Brisbane Lions prompted them to seek a secondary ruck to support Tahlia Hickie and at the end of 2023 organised a three-club trade with West Coast to secure Hartill.[4]
