SNIPS | Xavier Ellis: Knowing when to make the big changes
This weeks M&M Snip is from my chat with Xavier and his decision to move away from his home state to have a fresh start on the other side of the country with another AFL team. This one resonated with myself and I am sure many of you listening as well.
Be sure to go back and listen to the full episode with Xavier as he had many other stories to share with his time in the AFL.

#36 Xavier Ellis | From premierships to primetime radio
I am joined by premiership player and breakfast radio star Xavier Ellis this episode. He speaks all about his time at Hawthorn before transitioning over to West Coast, the feeling of playing on the big stage and winning a premiership, and how he managed to make his way onto breakfast radio. Xavier was so much fun to speak with and just an even better human being. Loved recording this episode and I hope you enjoy listening.
