Damian Barrett 0:40

It is. I always look forward to it. I want to get your views on the day itself on Saturday and uh also get you to identify what you have outlined as the ten big storylines to follow during this trade period. We'll get to all of that in a moment. Uh and as uh we'll become regular on the late trade in 2026, we will be joined by Marty Pask, uh player agent, real estate agent, man about town. Play with me. Played with

Brad Johnson 1:02

Marty Pask at the Bulldogs for a few years. So I look forward to having Marty on his experience, of course, in uh throughout this period with the with the players that uh that he managed and and it'd be good to get an insight into the into the back work background workings of uh uh

Damian Barrett 1:15

trades coming to life. He's gonna bring the science to the recruitment uh style of uh the the caper to our uh offerings this year on the the late trade and you as always will be analyzing each and every club working um working up the ladder from last place so we'll start with the bombers today we're gonna start today yes we will

Brad Johnson 1:33

look forward to diving into the bombers where they sat this year their list what it looks like

Damian Barrett 1:37

Like and what they need to improve on. Yep. And off the top of uh our show each and every day for the next three weeks, uh this is the carve up for Tasman Butchers. Eat better meat with Tasman Butchers. Tasman Butcher's the meat specialist. So Johnny, you you have, I know, done some homework for this uh particular show and you have uh had a look at the storylines and and the ones that do intrigue you most are Well the the

Brad Johnson 2:00

the main one I think the and the the one that's intriguing all us Bulldogs supporters is uh is Zach Butters and and how now that gets brought to life. Obviously there's been a a bit of commentary around what it was going to look like. Uh the AFL step in and now it's uh sit there a little bit in the in the unknown world of um Zach Butters joining the Western Bulldogs and how that actually uh is is created uh by the by the list management team and and the Western Bulldogs Is it any possibilities

Damian Barrett 2:27

of the Geelong Footy Club attempting to jump the Jumping now.

Brad Johnson 2:30

Yeah. Once a player once a player says, although we we did get Jade Rawlings many, many years ago when uh and he and he didn't want to be at the Bulldogs, he ended up having a great time at at the Western Bulldogs, and we love playing with uh with Jade, especially when he kicked seven his first game in uh in Bulldogs colours. So look, it will get done. It's just how how it it all shapes and comes to comes together and and how long it um and how quick. Basically it can be um orchestrated as well now 'cause I think obviously part of it was that the comfort uh yeah, we're pretty much there, ninety percent there in a in a deal done. Um but ultimately a bit of work needs to uh be undertaken.

Damian Barrett 3:07

And as we uh go through the next three weeks, uh John, I'm officially starting uh Monday of next week. That's the official calendar referencing on the AFL calendars. But uh we, as we have done now for the best part of fifteen years, start trade radio on the Monday after the grand final. There will be another storyline that's pretty big too, that being the North Melbourne coach search. And there is a possibility that they will identify their candidate inside that time frame.

Brad Johnson 3:30

Yeah, well, it's it's important now, isn't it? Because uh obviously uh Nathan Buckley's name's starting to get brought up in in in this search.
