    Jim Stynes' widow, Sam Ludbey-Stynes, shares her conversation with Brisbane co-captain Harris Andrews ahead of the Demons' annual Jim's Game

    Andrews will launch the Beyond DV Bursary, funded by the $40,000 grant awarded in the Jim Stynes Community Leadership Award. 

    The discussion explored his work with young people in the domestic violence space — and why leadership in today’s AFL is as much about impact off the field as performance on it.

    Hobart will be without captain Nathan Ellis for its knockout BBL final against Melbourne Renegades tomorrow night.

    The Hurricanes will also be without Test opener Jake Weatherald, who is opting to focus on red-ball cricket.

    Hobart Hurricanes skipper Nathan Ellis will miss his side's Big Bash League elimination final against the Melbourne Stars due to injury.

    The quick, who has been replaced by Ben McDermott as captain, was not named in Hobart's squad ahead of the knockout third-versus-fourth clash at Bellreive Oval tomorrow.

    It is understood Ellis picked up a niggle in his side's last-start loss to the Heat.

    Injured Ellis to miss Knockout as Weatherald prioritises Shield

    Hurricanes skipper ruled out of clash with Stars as English allrounder Rehan Ahmed also departs for international duties

    Hobart Hurricanes captain Nathan Ellis will miss his side's sudden-death Knockout final against Melbourne Stars after injuring himself in their final match of the regular season.

    Ellis was able to complete his four overs in their narrow loss to Brisbane Heat last Wednesday and was not out at the end as the Hurricanes saw their hopes of a top two finish slip away in the final over.

    But the club confirmed this afternoon Ellis had been ruled out of tomorrow's home final against the Stars with an unspecified niggle. The right-armer has a big month ahead of him as a key part of Australia's pace attack for the T20 World Cup beginning on February 7.

    Jake Weatherald won't be on deck for Hobart Hurricanes in their do-or-die BBL Knockout final against Melbourne Stars, with the Test opener opting for a red-ball focus.

    Both sides missed a chance to lock up top spot on the ladder in their final regular-season games and will instead meet in the three-against-four clash at Ninja Stadium on Wednesday night.

    Defending champions Hurricanes botched an easy run chase against Brisbane Heat that would have secured first, before Stars lost to Perth Scorchers on Saturday.

    Several Test stars, including the Hurricanes' Beau Webster, have made themselves available for the BBL since the Ashes finished.
