The West Australian reported that Ellis had signed on for 2016, although there was no official announcement from the club. The former Hawk said he was not expecting to be recalled to the senior side until he proved he could get through a full WAFL game. "Eighty minutes of WAFL footy isn’t to the AFL standard, so I know there’s going to be a massive increase when I’m right to go, but the body’s handling it really well. I am a bit of a realist on this one now. I’ve just missed so much footy and the way the AFL game is going you don’t want to let the team down more than anything" - Dale Miller, The West Australian: https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/a/28380281/ellis-takes-solid-step-after-injury-hassles/
