Re: Tom Boyd Retires
Fantastic mural. Yeah that was just a fantastic image on our way to our premiership win. I wish Tom well.

They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Some sort of statue outside of the Whitten Oval linked to the 2016 preimership would be cool but not fussed as I quite like the lone statue of Ted there.

I am probably not the only one who would be immensely disappointed to see Tom wandering around an AFL oval in someone else's colours. If that happens, God, please don't let it be Essendon.

It's the western suburbs. BT's quote from that particular passage gets trotted out a lot by the locals.
*!*!*!*! me, its a statue of *!*!*!*!ing EJ!
Where's *!*!*!*!ing Dougy?
Down at the *!*!*!*!ing Braybrook hotel of course! *!*!*!*! me sideways, where the *!*!*!*! else would you expect him to be?

I agree, that would be a step too far. But you just know it's going to happen don't you?

I would not enjoy that if that happened.

Tom always speaks so bloody well for a young guy.
Very positive about the dogs in general, I hope he finds what he is searching for.

Not at all. Sounded like he’s done with the AFL. Just not
his thing i.e no enjoyment with it.
He’s at Uni studying business and is enjoying the quieter, less
invasive life. He was very complimentary when it came to Bevo and the playing group.
He confirmed that he had only received half his 2019 payment, and walked away from the rest, believing that he hadn’t earnt anymore.
