Carlton (2017–2020)
Hosking was drafted by Carlton with the club's third selection and nineteenth overall in the 2016 AFL Women's draft.[3] She made her debut in the inaugural AFL Women's match against Collingwood at Ikon Park[4] while her sister Jess missed the inaugural season with a left anterior cruciate ligament injury, making her debut in the corresponding match the following year.[2] On 2 September 2017, Hosking played for Victoria in the inaugural AFL Women's State of Origin match.[5]
In 2018, Hosking recorded a then-league record 16 tackles in Carlton's round 2 win against Greater Western Sydney in heavy rain.[6] Her record was broken two weeks later when Adelaide's Ebony Marinoff recorded 21 tackles, a national senior-level record, in similar conditions against the same opponent in round 4.[7]
