Xavier Ellis Discusses Tom Boyd’s Decision To Retire At Age 23

Yesterday, the AFL community was shocked to learn that Bulldogs premiership player Tom Boyd had decided to retire from football at just 23 years of age.

In a statement, Boyd explained:

“My decision to retire now is a reflection of issues I’ve had over the past five years both with physical injury and with mental health, and they have now accumulated to a point where I just don’t have the desire to play or the enjoyment of the game I used to have.”

This morning, Xavier discussed Tom’s announcement and explained how the bullying players receive and the pressure put on them is sometimes just not worth the money.
