What Happens Next?
Part 3: 2016 AFL Premiers Easton Wood & Tom Boyd
Two contrasting stories, with the same outcome. Tom, a number one draft pick, who battled immense pressure and mental health struggles, ultimately retiring at just 23. Easton, a courageous defender, who had to fight and scratch for every second he got on the field.
Their stories came together, and reached a romantic peak in 2016, when the Western Bulldogs won the AFL Premiership.
In episode 3 of What Happens Next, Steve Morris explores the contrasting yet deeply familiar stories of Tom Boyd and Easton Wood. They sit down to unpack the realities of elite sport, the toll it takes, and the resilience required to navigate life after the roar of the crowd fades.
