So... is there a family emergency or is Evan sick? How sick? How serious? What a strange back-to-back report from two different sources. Obviously TV's should hold more weight.
But let me add, regardless of what the issue is - Evan Russell doesn't have to swing another bat. He has nothing to prove. He's a VFL, by all accounts a great teammate, a record holder, and a heck of a player. Hope he gets drafted. So if its a family issue and he has to step away to be at home, I hope everyone supports that.
