It’s back again from tomorrow featuring the AFL’s “experts” including Cal Twomey and Riley Beveridge, along with Sam Edmund, Tom Morris and Josh Jenkins and will run through the trade period all the way to Deadline Day on Wednesday, October 15, before finishing with a new wrap episode from Thursday, October 16 where the team will unpack all the big news from the frantic final hours of the 2025 player exchange period. 

The AFL is promoting AFL Trade Radio big time noting that superstars “including Carlton's Charlie Curnow, Essendon skipper Zach Merrett and Melbourne's Christian Petracca are among the players who could be on the move in 2025, while Carlton stars Tom De Koning and Jack Silvagni have already confirmed their big-money free agency moves to St Kilda”.  

Warning: Don’t get too excited - If it’s anything like past trade periods, there will be more moments of sheer drudgery and boredom over the next three and a half weeks than anything else.

If you catch up with anything of interest, please let us know - it’s on afl.com.au

Some people need to get real jobs….

Loaded waffle coming up.

I can tolerate Sam Edmund. Josh Jenkins is hard of thinking. Tom Morris is an actual moron.

I must admit i don't mind listening to this and doing a little bit of work, some of it is absolute rubbish, but it's not the worst background noise

Today’s Trade Radio headlines -

• Christian Petracca is reportedly open to leaving Melbourne according to Michelangelo Rucci who believes the star Demon has his sights set on Gold Coast Suns.

• Carlton captain Patrick Cripps is confident that Charlie Curnow will remain with the Blues in 2026 and beyond even though the name of the two-time Coleman Medallist continues to be thrown around in trade circles with the likes of Geelong, Gold Coast and Sydney.

• 16 clubs are doing their due diligence on the troubled Bulldog forward Jamarra Ugle-Hagan with Gold Coast the favourite to get him.

• Essendon defender Jordan Ridley won't pursue a move to Brisbane this off-season.

• Sydney key forward Jack Buller has requested a trade to Collingwood, according to Cal Twomey.

I got this one earlier in the day:

• Jayden Laverde has agreed to join the GWS Giants.

Then I tried to log in and got this -

I’ll be back when they get serious …

Perhaps the AFL should introduce a rule where good to great players can only go to Gold Coast, Brisbane, Collingwood, Sydney or Geelong. Call it the crush hope rule.

So Suns who made their first finals and have more NGA's coming in, could get, Tracc, Elliot and JUH to add to Ben King and Walter and they are also supposedly chasing Curnow.

I don’t believe Max Gawn would approve.

I hope they don’t look back at this …

DEES TRADING SINCE THE PREMIERSHIP

2021 IN Dunstan❌

2022 IN Grundy ❌Hunter❌ Schache ❌OUT Toby Bedford, Jayden Hunt, Luke Jackson, Sam Weideman

2023 IN Billings ❌McAdam ⭕️ Fullarton❌ OUT Harmes Jordon Grundy

2024 In Sharp⭕️Campbell ⭕️OUT Neale-Bullen

It’s like we wanted to hit rock bottom as fast as possible when you put that down in writing.

Scraps from today -

• Gold Coast forward Malcolm Rosas Jnr has picked Sydney as his preferred destination.

• Connor Budarick has narrowed his decision down to either the Western Bulldogs or North Melbourne, if he leaves Gold Coast.

• Cal Twomey believes it’s either stay at the Pies or go to Gold Coast for Jamie Elliot although his understanding is “he would prefer to stay at Collingwood, but the deal has to be right”. Heard this story before

• Riley Beveridge thinks Gold Coast and Sydney are best placed to get a deal done, ahead of Geelong.

• The Western Bulldogs have emerged as a potential home for Brisbane midfielder Deven Robertson, who is expected to seek a fresh start elsewhere next season.

• Christian Petracca has been spotted with manager Anna Scullie and wife Bella at the Adelaide Airport amid rumours of a desired shift to the Crows.

I know the name’s spelled differently but what’s with the manager? Another conspiracy!

Anna is Eddie Betts’ wife. No relation to Phil or Tom.

Also Hawthorn

Suggested by Josh Jenkins and Damo agrees.

I’d run with that and never look back if he was to go to Adelaide.
