Bio: A courageous small midfielder with clean hands, who is very creative. Hall has good awareness and also seems to have time and space. South Australian under-18 representative in 2008. From Flinders Park FC.
Jason McCartney says: Chris was very consistent during the under-18 championships for South Australia. He played predominantly as a half-forward, but he's a quality mover and an excellent finisher. Eventually you would think he will play through the midfield, but as a half-forward he really didn't need to get a lot of the footy to have an impact on the game. He's a good decision maker who uses the ball well and he was extremely prominent when SA came to Melbourne and finished off the tournament well.

In his own words
Strengths
Setting up the play, quick hands, getting the runners involved. I can get around players easily. My evasive skills are a bit better than some of the bigger guys.
Weaknesses?
I probably need to work on my size a little bit, need to get a bit stronger. And my chase-downs as well, and keeping the ball inside the forward 50.
Which AFL team do you support?
I’m a Crows fan.
Which AFL players do you try to model yourself on?
Dale Thomas, Andrew McLeod and Brett Burton. I like McLeod because he’s just so clean with his hands, such a silky smooth sort of player. And Dale and Brett Burton are playmakers of the team, sort of the X-factors. When they fire it’s really good to watch that sort of thing.
