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’.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
