Mikaylah Antony has been named as a late inclusion to make her debut against Port Adelaide in Round 2.
The South-Australian product will line up for her first game at AFLW level at Alberton Oval this evening.
The 19-year-old hails from Central Districts, and was the Hawks first pre-season draftee (pick 8) ahead of the 2026 season.
Antony wasted no time showcasing her craft up forward or hard-running efforts through the middle, taking to the field in all of Hawthorn's pre-season matches. As well as a strong performance with Box Hill in the VFLW last weekend, finishing with two goals, 11 disposals and eight tackles.
Prior to being drafted, Antony represented the SANFLW in the State Game clash with VFLW back in April of 2026, where was named best on ground as a defender.
Antony replaces Jasmine Fleming who will miss the clash with hamstring awareness.
