Danny McGinlayHOST
You seem in good nick.
Danny McGinlayHOST
But we are, as Tom Boyd always says on this podcast, when you're at this point in the season, no one is unbroken.
Danny McGinlayHOST
No.
Danny McGinlayHOST
How are you feeling?
Mark FineHOST
That being said, footy's not for everybody, so there you go.
Mark FineHOST
Tom Boyd, the perfect example.
Mark FineHOST
Yeah.
Stephen J. PeakPANELIST
Yeah.
Oli LandosGUEST
So it's very easy to sort of funnel yourself into a life that you might not actually necessarily like want to.
Oli LandosGUEST
You look at someone like even like Tom Boyd, who's spoken about that in the past where obviously he had some mental health issues as well.
Oli LandosGUEST
But he talked about how he was kind of just funneled through because he was a giant.
Oli LandosGUEST
He played so well.
Oli LandosGUEST
He kicked a lot of goals and he was an athletic freak.
Oli LandosGUEST
But it was just like, you got to a point where you get through the draft, you're the number one pick and whatnot.
Oli LandosGUEST
And then you kind of look at yourself and you're just like, hang on, do I actually even want to play this game? There's actually a lot of similarities with Tom Boyd and Ben Simmons, both obviously number one picks, but yeah.
Oli LandosGUEST
Yeah, it's a sad story, but it's a story that I'm sure that he's going to come back.

Kinnear BeatsonGUEST
They've got the big fish.
Kinnear BeatsonGUEST
And last time they did this as a Bulldogs supporter yourself, you'll remember this, when they brought in Tom Boyd and made a statement about the Bulldogs.
Kinnear BeatsonGUEST
We're fair dinkum.
Kinnear BeatsonGUEST
We're going to have a crack and we can bring in big name players.
Craig HutchisonHOST
Well, the Billy-
Liam PickeringHOST
'Cause there was a lot of pushback on the, the, the Tom Boyd one
Craig HutchisonHOST
... your dad's, your dad's, uh, breaking the stubbies was o- on the table.
Liam PickeringHOST
That's...
Gerard WhateleyHOST
All right.
Gerard WhateleyHOST
So we had Tom Boyd come through a few times.
Gerard WhateleyHOST
Is Tom Boyd on the borderline as a Ted Hopkins medalist? I think he is.
Gerard WhateleyHOST
But there's
Shannon GillGUEST
the fact that he was a number one pick, that he went to the Bulldogs on big money, and for everything he's done post-footy as well, and his retirement.
speaker_4AUDIENCE
so people...
speaker_4AUDIENCE
It's like Tom Boyd.
Josh JenkinsHOST
Yep.
Josh JenkinsHOST
Yeah, well-
speaker_4AUDIENCE
You know, when Tom Boyd came to the club, he had so much pressure on his shoulders and mental health and stuff like that.
speaker_4AUDIENCE
Tom a really big mental health, uh, um, ambassador for that.
Josh JenkinsHOST
Yeah.
52 MINS LATER
Sam EdmundHOST
... and he delivered.
Scotty CummingsHOST
What do you got for us, brother?
speaker_9AUDIENCE
Uh, probably Brian Taylor's call of Tom Boyd's goal in the 2016 Grand Final.
Scotty CummingsHOST
Mm, dropped the F-bomb in there.
Tim GossageHOST
Oh, did he really?
Josh JenkinsHOST
What a moment for him.
Josh JenkinsHOST
Uh, incredible for Tom Boyd and for the Dogs.
Josh JenkinsHOST
Uh, at two, 2017 national draft, and I think when you na- when you nail your drafts, you just set yourself up for opportunities to be successful.
Josh JenkinsHOST
Uh, pick nine and pick 16, the Dogs had in that draft, and they ended up with Aaron Norton, the astronaut at pick nine, the West Australian high-flyer.
Josh JenkinsHOST
But Norton and Richards at nine and 16 is the second-best move the Dogs have made in the past decade or so.
Josh JenkinsHOST
And the number one has to be their number one, maybe their number one of all time, picking the lanky kid from Northern Knights, Marcus Bontempelli.
Josh JenkinsHOST
Uh, he was a high draft pick in the same, uh, draft as Tom Boyd, ironically, and they go on to become, uh, teammates, uh, as well.
Josh JenkinsHOST
So I think whenever you get someone who's picked up eight, uh, all-Australians, seven Besson Ferris, and he's not done yet, I think he has to be the number one player.
