WEST Coast midfielder Clay Hall has landed the Telstra AFL Rising Star nomination for round 16 after a strong performance against Collingwood.
Hall gathered 22 disposals and had four tackles, four marks and three clearances as the Eagles suffered a 29-point loss at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night.
The Eagles challenged the Magpies and were just 10 points down at three-quarter time before falling short of recording a shock win.
After playing three games last year, Hall – the No.38 pick in the 2023 Telstra AFL Draft – has featured for West Coast five times in 2025.
He is averaging 15.2 disposals, 2.8 clearances, 2.4 tackles and 1.6 marks this year.
Hall is the Eagles’ second Rising Star nominee this year, joining Tyrell Dewar (round 14).
The Eagles are 1-14 ahead of hosting Greater Western Sydney at Optus Stadium on Friday night.
