AFL media’s most tedious product makes its return today. During the trade period AFL Trade Radio produces enormous lashings of interviews and commentary that are mainly rehashed material that we already know about with the odd scoop thrown in when it happens.

If you happen to be tuned in when they bring up one of those scoops, please let us know.

 

User Warning:

Listen with caution.

Listening to Trade Radio can make you drowsy and dumber.

Do not operate machinery while listening.

probably the only thing other than ballpark entertainment that is cash +ve for hutchison, and that's cos the afl overpay for it

Guess America has the Fast and Furious franchise, Australia has Trade Radio!

Trade radio right now or The TV test pattern … close tie for most engaging entertainment!!! I’ll completely give it a miss until the actual trade week opens. 

Frank Walker from National Tiles...

FMD !!! Who would bother ?

Do yourself a favour and never listen to this: it’s literally a waste of life.

It's good if you're having trouble getting to sleep

Better than Valium with a triple scotch chaser

install a ream ad actually doesnt do my head in, quite the tune in fact 

I would listen to it but I cant get my crystal set to work

AFL Trade Radio today - a lot of rehashing stories already covered elsewhere. Of Melbourne interest, some discussion on a potential replacement for Brodie Grundy including mention of Flynn from GWS (who apparently wants to go to WA) and the fact that Verrall and Farris-White are a long way off being ready to give Max a hand in the ruck. Also a speculative multi-club that ends up with Melbourne getting Tom Lynch for pick 5.  That deal would leave us with yet another expensive forward on the sidelines.

I sincerely hope you meant 'Rheem'...

Naughty - and I mean naughty - autocorrect!

It would appear that according to Kane Cornes, Melbourne is under great pressure in this trade period.

Got to talk about something since there isn't much to talk about....

But i kinda agree with Corn, i don't agree we are "under pressure" but you could argue a few teams have gone past us this year. Will be a big off season for the Dees.

If we are under great pressure then we're pretty laid back about it compared to some of the others.

Pressure is a privilege

A job interviewer once asked me if I could perform under pressure.

I said "No, but I'll give Bohemian Rhapsody a go".

According to Kane Cornes, Essendon wants a first round pick for Zirk-Thatcher.

Essendon in a nutshell.. even they laughed on the coach.. 

Rather listen to at the 3rd stroke it will be 10:25 than a bunch of nupties making up nonsense. 

Lots of stroking in that studio!

From the media, yes. We’re generally rated a premiership contender with a generational list that has a deficiency in one area of the ground.

I don’t necessarily prescribe to the theory that we don’t already have the talent in place to address this, but the consistent narrative will be ‘will Melbourne try and fix the obvious problem, or stubbornly stick with what they have already tried’.
