This girl's in her bedroom, she's not doing any work
She's fooling with the draft points, she's going berserk
One hand a vape resting on the window, the other one keys AFL trade radio
I dig the talkback, but Purple drives her nuts
Day time, Cal's fine, no ifs or buts
It's all so tragic but there’s still some fun
If you don't pay too much attention. I say
Who listens to Trade Radio?
Who listens to Trade Radio?
Who listens to Trade Radio?
That's what I'd like to know
Who listens to Trade Radio.

At least you kept it in sports.

    Well, apart from announcing half a dozen of the free agents who moved clubs today, Trade Radio produced a lot of speculation and idle chatter and once again, little of substance. 

    FWIW, given that he’s been mentioned in dispatches as having attracted some interest from Melbourne, it has been reported by Tom Morris that no one is considering Matthew Owies at the moment. 

    And that’s the Trade Radio News for the day.

    Listened in for a while. Geez, it’s a struggle to do a non-stop program about trading when not much is happening.

    Only thing non-stop is the incessant advertising. During the one hour soak, wash, rinse, spin, repeat cycle of  ‘the show’. The presenters, after product promos need to come up with roughly ten minutes of spoken words each. Set the time delay dial to next Wednesday.

    When the moon is in the 7th house and Jupiter aligns with Mars, that’s the dawning of the age of acquiring Bont.

    We rightfully had a crack at Peatling and missed.

    Perryman is going to be paid $900k at the Pies.

    Cummings a 6 year deal at the Crows.

    Battle enough contract to trigger the highest draft compensation.

    Houston if we were still in it would be costing us pick 5 

    Baker and Bolton we are in the wrong state to entice.

    Noble and Rioli first round picks.

    Haynes, Darling, Parker passed well passed their best and would require good $$ multi year retirement deals.

    Some times the best list management is the one that does little.

    You are joking? Offer nothing get nothing! We have been mannifestly poor so far, and from where I sit to think we will improve with this list is foolhardy thinking!

    Your last sentence is where we've gone wrong over the past couple of years. Acquired players during trade week simply because they were available at a discount, and not because they were the right fit.

    We missed out on our targeted players in Houston and Peatling, so aside from Derksen, it's time to shut up shop.

    Which of the above deals I mentioned would you do?

    Remind me your thoughts on Fullerton and Billing’s deals where you could argue we just did something?

    I don’t think I am foolhardy for thinking that with improvement from youngsters like JVR, Windsor, Kolt, Jeffo , Verrall etc and fit Clarry, Tracc, May, Lever, Bowey etc, and the addition of a couple of really talented draftees, that we will improve on the side that lost by under a goal, to 4 of the top 5 teams, including the Premier at home in the last kick of the game.

    We will get far more from a good injury run and a player buy in on reverting to that selfless team game, than we will get from a couple of overpriced good players that are really just coming for money or a super payout.

    At this point I hope we don't trade anyone in.  Anyone good would require our pick 5

    I prefer to hit this draft hard. More of Kozzi/Rivers/Windsor to rejuvenate the team

    Yep, none of the “we need to get older” bs from Richo thank you.

    More of the ‘we need to get better players’.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
