Tasmania will be without Ellie Hall for the remainder of the 2026 VFLW season, with scans revealing the star defender fractured her ankle in Saturday’s defeat to Carlton.

Hailing from Narrandera in the New South Wales Riverina, Hall wasted no time making an impact in her debut VFLW campaign, averaging 15.7 disposals, 4.4 marks and 4.7 tackles across her 10 games, primarily playing off half-back.

The former GWS Giants Academy product was assisted from the field in the third quarter and did not return to play, with the club now in the early stages of establishing her holistic management plan, including surgical planning.

VFL/W High-Performance Manager Ross Brosnan has also provided an update on Georgia Nicholas ahead of ahead of Sunday’s clash with Geelong at Deakin University Oval.
