For the third time this season and a second week in a row, Lucy Wales has been named as the Nature Valley MVP for her Round 8 performance.

Wales finished the Thursday night clash with Fremantle with an equal team-high 20 disposals, and of those, a game-high 16 contested possessions.

In a great ruck contest, the 22-year-old managed 18 hitouts and was influential around the ground with an equal game-high 11 intercept possessions, and five marks including a game-high three contested marks.

She also laid eight tackles and had an equal game-high six inside 50s.

Wales and the Hawks return to Kinetic Stadium on Saturday afternoon to host the Gold Coast Suns.
