Indigenous All Stars: Young West Coast ruckman Coen Livingstone hospitalised after clash with Fremantle

Young West Coast ruckman Coen Livingstone has been cleared of any internal damage despite being hospitalised after playing for the Indigenous All Stars against Fremantle on Saturday.

Livingstone, 19, was taken to hospital as a precautionary after it was suspected he sustained internal and rib injuries while playing at Optus Stadium but he was later discharged.

The uncapped Eagle led the ruck against the All Stars against the more experienced and *******-bodied Docker Liam Reidy as well as Luke Jackson in front of more than 37,000 fans.

Livingstone held his own, finishing with 16 hit-outs and five touches as well as an impressive equal team-high six tackles in the clash and was backed up by Collingwood’s Ash Johnson and Port Adelaide’s Jeremy Finlayson.

The 19-year-old was one of three Eagles to play for the Indigenous All Stars, alongside premiership forward Liam Ryan and Tim Kelly.

Ryan kicked a goal from 10 touches as part of a star-studded forward line that included former teammate ******* Rioli.

Kelly also booted a goal from 13 disposals and had five clearances — the equal second most on the ground behind Jy Simpkin.

Livingstone was drafted to the Eagles through the Next Generation Academy in 2023 and had a strong first year at the club, playing 18 WAFL games where he averaged 10 hit-outs and eight disposals.

He was the joint winner of the Jack Clarke Medal as the WAFL colts fairest and best after averaging 16 disposals and 22 hit-outs in 14 games for Perth.
