James Thomas Ezard (born 24 March 1986) is a former Australian rules footballer, who played four games for Port Adelaide in the Australian Football League (AFL) and 156 league games for West Adelaide in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).
[1] The nephew of Essendon premiership player Alan Ezard, he was taken at pick 34 in the 2004 AFL Draft from Calder Cannons.
In 2005, Ezard kicked the winning goal against Adelaide in a pre-season NAB cup match, but never broke into the senior team in that year, spending the year playing in the SANFL with West Adelaide, putting in some good performances, but still unable to break into Port Adelaide's main team.
Ezard played the next three games, kicking a goal in the match against Carlton.
His consistent form was rewarded when he was named joint winner of the SANFL's highest individual honor, the Magarey Medal, with Rhys Archard from North Adelaide.
