Early life and basketball

edit

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

edit

Ahead of 2022 season 7, 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 season 7 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]
