What are Richmond’s list challenges, and how can Adelaide attract star players?

Unknown 0:04
Say yes to trading couches for cocktails with DD. Stock up and save and shop half-priced vitamins now at Chemist Warehouse. This is The Late Trade with Damien Barrett and Brad
Damian Barrett 0:14
Johnson. Good to have your company on The Late Trade for Chemist Warehouse. Shop half-priced vitamins now at Chemist Warehouse and DD. Say yes, I DD. Damien Barrett, Brad Johnson with you until 4.30 Melbourne time and then Marty Pass comes and joins us for the final 90 minutes of The Late Trade each and every day in 2026. Jono, good afternoon.
Brad Johnson 0:34
Yeah, afternoon, Damo. How are you today?
Damian Barrett 0:35
Well, we're going to get through a lot today. You're going to begin or continue your processes of analysis. It's the Richmond Footy Club up today. And I'm really keen to see what you're going to say about them because they've had that massive scale back of talent in the past two seasons and the unknown quantities that was the draft pick that they attacked and went hard at and the continued talk that even a Jaden Short might be out of that footy club by the end of this trade period. So there's still a lot to work through with what they are doing, the Tigers.
Brad Johnson 1:02
Oh, it's huge. When you actually start to dive, we all sit there this year, I should start with, and you sort of look at the talent that they've got and you understand. But when you actually start to dive into it a little bit deeper, yeah, you're right about scaling back. It's been enormous, the scale back. And the biggest thing that we'll talk about today in some ways is health, health of these youngsters that don't have senior support really around them. So they're thrown in. And, you know, they're breaking down. So where does that sit for the future? Health is the key
Damian Barrett 1:32
here for these youngsters. And Marty Pascal will also begin his series on the Marty's Metrics, as we're calling it, taking the holistic approach to how clubs are able to present to players who are in the window of being a free agent or out of contract and how he'll explain to us through the Eyes of a leading player manager that it's not just about how the list looks and it's not just about who is in the chair as coach. It's a wider project that he's always undertaken and he'll give us some details on that. And he'll look at the Adelaide Crows ability to sell itself as a club. And it's probably a footy club, Jono, that has had trouble doing that given the most recent response they got was a no from Zach Bailey.
Brad Johnson 2:12
That's right. Well, they sold themselves to me back in 1993, Damo, in a big way. Visited my house in Hoppers Crossing a couple of times and mum put the cup of tea and biscuits out for them. Maybe it wasn't enough. You know what they did sell, though, back in the day? It was the fact I could get my driver's license at 17. So I could get over there. They'd give me a Toyota. One of their major sponsors. And off I'd go, driving around, getting myself to training. We could have been interesting as a 17-year-old if it had have worked out that I got drafted by the Adelaide Crows. But they definitely sold themselves

back

then. So I think they can sell a pretty big picture now as to where their home venue is, of course, and how good it is to play home games at the Adelaide Oval. And obviously their facilities are world-class as well. So it's not a bad little town to live in, Adelaide. So there's a lot to like.
Damian Barrett 2:58
There is, yeah. So today's cover for Tasman Butchers, Eat Better Meat with Tasman Butchers. Tasman Butchers, the meat specialists. We're going to start today, Jono, by taking a deep look at the Zach Butters situation.

How could Zach Butters’ move to the Western Bulldogs affect Port Adelaide’s draft picks?

Damian Barrett 3:10
He is the biggest name in this trade period, the free agent, the restricted free agent, choosing to leave Port Adelaide and nominating the Western Bulldogs as his club of choice. Some just we're going to come at it from a couple of different angles i'll just go back to the week leading into the semi-final at which the geelong footy club was playing freemantle in perth so week two of the traditional structure of the final series and it was the first day night of that particular week where people at geelong including chris scott himself had uh very strong reason to believe that zach butters was going to be nominating the cats as his club of choice so the
