D-rod,
You've obvioulsy not heard so i'll tell you now.
Ellis was never goin to play for Hawthorn this year. Just like Luke Ball at St Kilda he wanted to finish school and play his last year of rep school footy.
He broke his foot while playing school footy, when he slipped in a sprinkler hole and another player came down on his foot, from what i remember. He may get a late call up this year after his school footy is finished, but i doubt it.

Franklin rolled his ankle the week before the first round, then played average for a game or two once he came back, then when he had gotten a bit of form jarred his wrist and missed another week. He played on the wing/hf last week, kicked 4, had 21 disposals and took about 12 marks. Was also reported for charging, but got off the charge last night and should get a call up this week for the Sydney game.

Xavier was going to play some Box Hill/HFC footy this year, as there are breaks in the school footy season and that wraps up fairly early. He's still likely to play a handful of games towards the end of the season.

Kurt Russell? from Big Trouble in Little China to surviving a mine fall, he's quite a guy.

He's not totally lost to Hawthorn him this year. He does attend some training sessions. Seen him on Wednesdays doing handball drills with other injured players.
