Tony Hall joined Glenelg from Glengowrie High School and gave the club fine service in 92 SANFL games between 1983 and 1987. An excellent mark and kick, he was the Bays' top goal kicker with 73 goals in 1986, the same season that saw him earn the Jack Oatey Medal for his six-goal best afield performance from centre half forward in the Grand Final defeat of North Adelaide. Hall had also played in the previous season's Grand Final triumph over the same opposition.
Hall was recruited by Hawthorn, in the more lucrative VFL competition, for the 1988 season. He played in all 24 games that year, including a grand final win for Hawthorn. Hall was also an All-Australian in 1988. He played in another premiership with Hawthorn in 1991.
In 1994, Hall returned to Adelaide, joining the Adelaide Football Club for their fourth season in the AFL. In the twilight of his playing career, Hall managed only 17 games in the two seasons he played for Adelaide.
Hall kicked a near impossible goal in a State of Origin game against Victoria from a forward pocket and as a result the pocket is still known to locals as the "Tony Hall Pocket"
