The Carlton defender will undergo a knee reconstruction after hurting her knee in the weekend’s AFLW loss to Adelaide.
“Unfortunately, Sarah will need a knee reconstruction which will put her out for the next 12 months,’’ Carlton AFLW coach Damian Keeping said on carltonfc.com.au
“We will get the support network that the club offers around her and look to get her back in the navy blue next season.”
Last, 22, had made a good impression with the Blues in her three games at AFLW level.
She had nine possessions to be one of Carlton’s best players in the round one win over Collingwood.
Last was solid in the round two win over the GWS Giants and had picked up two early possessions before being injured against the Crows.
Last earned her place on Carlton’s list after a standout season with the Bendigo Thunder in 2016.
