On the live trade period telecast, i expect to see the usual tacky stuff.

* Countdown timer.

* Footage of club officials running down corridors with papers in hand.

* Same officials on their phones with finger in opposite ear, with furrowed brows.

* Increasingly excited commentary towards period end.

* Interviews with various club officials talking about how they got their "target" (And how much work went on behind the scenes)

* Gill doing something..... ANYTHING to be on TV and help out Fox because $$

 

What i dont expect to hear...... 

*Anyone admit most of the "last minute" trades were actually decided days earlier, but held back per AFL "suggestions" (because Fox $$)

 

What have i missed?

she's a shocker.

If Jesse was less introverted I would have expected him to be paraded out in a Freo jumper but I doubt he'd be up for that. Maybe some Freo socks.

A bunch of middle aged white blokes trying to pretend that what they are doing is more important than curing cancer and ending world wars, whilst displaying their non-existent personalities.

Can't complain with you there.

I hope the Goggleboxers tune in for this beauty.

They don't help her by making her regurgitate the [censored] said on Twitter. She is ex-MFC so worthy of some pleasantries.

List managers punching on, lifting chairs above their heads. 

We need far more of that

Josh Mahoney and Peter Bell throwing hands

Imagine the darts with more broken tables 

just hope they toss in a few naked sheilas

B grade journalists claiming they called it

FFS

I implore you all to not tune in and give it ratings.   

What time does this start? 

Tumbleweeds and crickets.

Some crappy advertising on heavy rotation.

 Bugger all as it turns out
