David Ellard (born 13 March 1989) is an Australian rules footballer with the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League.
Ellard is a relatively small player who plays mainly as a small forward pushing into the midfield. He played football with the Swan Districts Football Club in the WAFL in 2007.[1] He was drafted to the Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League for the 2008 season as a rookie in the rookie draft, with the club's third selection (#34 overall). Ellard played in several of Carlton's pre-season games, including his Carlton debut in an exhibition match in South Africa, and in the club's two NAB Cup games.
Ellard began the senior season with Carlton's VFL-affiliate, the Northern Bullants. He impressed sufficiently to be elevated to the senior list and made his debut against the West Coast Eagles at Subiaco Oval in Round 7.[2]
