Speaker 1 (00:01):
Time for barriers bits.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
When you've got to get workI you've got to get
into work Clobber.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Their eight trade stores are everywhere, so when you need it,
you can get it or check out work clobber dot
com dot agu.
Speaker 4 (00:12):
Now it's all about the trading and the swapsies.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Isn't it.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is the silly season and I reckon this could
be the greatest silly season of them all. This is
arguably will be the biggest trade period of all time.
Just some of the names that are being mentioned, you know,
like Charlie Kerner, Yeah, the bloke from the and from
Essenden yesterday. David Swallow, So you know David Swallow who
sunk the Dockers in that elimination final.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
And I've just stadium the Boks got.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Holding the ball and got unfairly tackled and kicked the goal.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
They thought it was a goal that was touched as
a point didn't matter And is his final game?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
It's maybe it's not his final game because it looks
like he's being offered up with his management is definitely
offering him up to the West Coast Eagles to come
over as a thirty.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Two year old rookie Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, because they got those four rookie pick Yeah, they're thinking, well,
who could help Harley Read become the player we want
him to and also boost our waffle if we need it,
And so they thought, well David Swallow. Yeah, there's Devon
Robertson and Tom Berry. There's a lot of guys from Queensland.
But that would be amazing if David Swallow.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Is this all part of that special assistance package that
the Eagles are getting this year.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, they got those four rookies spots there, so they're
loading up so there's more or less enhancing their waffle team,
but also just trying to build around Harley a bit
with mentors yep, and.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Not just youth and inexperience. I want a few older
blokes in there as well. Just to David Swallow would
be amazing. He's a riper guy. So that that happened, like,
the Docs would be happy to see him again.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
They probably would. They want to run through him.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
You'd be lined up on the first game.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
The only problem is he's the world's nicest bloke. So
it comes from the world's best family. There'll Swallows in birth,
you know. So then Liam Reedy, the ruckman freemantlely stuck
behind Jackson and Darcy, and he thought, you know what
a bit like Meek did, I'm out of here. Meek
went on to be a superstar for Hawthorne. Has any
Lloyd Meek? So this Liam Ready has gone to Carlton
(02:12):
and I'm not sure why West Coast just didn't grab him.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
He's in town. They need a rakman.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I can't have everyone. I know they're getting existence, but
we don't have everyone.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Well, you know what I thought was that maybe it
was the old you know, let's not help each other.
You know that they're always at each other's throats, West
Coast and Fremantle. But it seems there's been a breakthrough
because yesterday it was a four club trade, a mega trade,
and it'll be I read about that, explain that to Yeah,
it is a bit tricky, but what happens is it
(02:43):
will send demon Judd mcvee to Freemantle. It'll see the
Lions get free agent brand and Stacevich traded to West Coast,
and it'll complete the Eagles captain Oscar Allen's moved to
Brisbane as well.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
He goes back over there.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, so Freemantle they joined the discussions and a rare
show of unity. It just shows you what you can
do if you really need someone. In a rare show
of unity, they got together and helped each other get
the deal done.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
So Stasovitch will.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Join the Eagles rather as a trade rather than a
free agent, because if he went as a free agent
it could stuff up the compensation for Oscar Allen, who's
going to Brisbane.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
That's the technical term.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Okay, sorry, you've lost me now, So yeah, okay, I'll
try to join all the docs.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
It's confusing, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
So the deal I'll go back a step.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
But the deal enables the Eagles free agent Captain Allen
to join the Lions without affecting the AFL compensation pick
that the Eagles get for losing the full forward because
what they say is, look, if there's too many free
agents in and out of a club, we're not.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Giving you pick two. So they get picked two. They're
going to get pick two as well.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So given the size of his contracts, so Freemantle tried
to secure a suitable pick to satisfy Melbourne for their
out of contract defender. Jud mcvee, doc has joined the discussions.
Got that done and a range of extradra picks grease
the wheels basically in a four club trade. So that
will be announced today and Starcevich will be an Eagle,
(04:08):
Alan will be a Lion, and jud mcvee will be
a Docker and quite remarkable.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Everyone got that.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, that's why I'm not a list manager, And why
would you want to be.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I don't know who.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Don't blow chart?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
That would just be should have imagine me doing it
on the news, in the graphics and trying to explain
it in one minute.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
You know, when you'd be good writers with the news.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
You need to pitch it about I guess a teenage
what would you say? Mentality?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
No, Layman's terms.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Layman's teams put that in Layman's terms.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Just like so the average Joe blow you know, people
like me just so we can, you know, follow it
a little bit, because it's we're more interested in.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
How it works out. We just can't work out how
well I'm.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Never going to launch a space shuttle, let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
So you know, I wonder they retired it. I reckon
you might go close. You're pretty smart, but some of
these things are a bit tricky. So that's why I
work in media and it's particularly in sport where you can.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Just just quietly. I should have gone to UNI after all.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
So it's a big day for trades and the law
come up very shortly.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah,
Time for barriers bits.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
When you've got to get workI you've got to get
