Gary Lyon 0:04

Say yes to trading couches for cocktails with DD. Stock up and save and shop half-price vitamins now at Chemist Warehouse. This is the Late Trade with Damian Barrett and Brad Johnson. We're

Damian Barrett 0:15

taking your calls and we're looking at your texts on the late trade for Chemist Warehouse. Let's uh let's head straight to the calls, John I. We'll head to Ballarat, where Jack has given us a call. Hi Jack.

Unknown 0:27

G'day boys, how are we? Great grand final, I think um agree with you on the call of that. I just wanna run something past you. I'm an avid frero man, so heartbroken but also optimistic.

Could Fremantle recruit Nathan Broad after his return to Western Australia?

Unknown 0:37

Do you think Frio go and have a conversation with Nathan Broad now that he's back in Western Australia? Maybe just try and get him to come back for one last hilt?

Brad Johnson 0:47

I don't mind that shout out, to to be honest. Like especially with now with what's happened with with Alex Pierce. We just spoke about that. Is is Broad going to offer something different to McDonald? Yes he is. Is he probably a little bit better? Yes, he is. Um if one of the others go down, Ryan goes down, or Cox gets injured again. You know, that that's where their depth starts to be tested. So it's not a bad shout in regards to a a conversation that you you might want to go and have with a Nathan Broad. board and just say, hey, here's a here's a couple of years for you and come and come and uh have a crack with us and and see where it ends up. He could plant another flag.

Damian Barrett 1:19

Yeah, I can see the real merits in that, uh, Jack. It always um was it was a was a an outcome that I thought was highly well, possible, strongly possible that he was gonna get back on an AFL list despite his own public narrative of being uh on Darn.

Brad Johnson 1:31

So how does that work then? Is he just going the draft and Yeah. Pick him up pick him up late, pick him up as a preseason

Damian Barrett 1:37

pick, pick him up as an off season pick. I mean th there's ways to get players like that on the on the list that won't require any form of transactioning, I wouldn't have thought. So given he's uh uh publicly said he's retired. But yeah, good call uh there, Jack. Thank you for it. Uh back to the uh IMR insurance text line, Johnno. Uh

Who are the leading candidates to coach North Melbourne?

Damian Barrett 1:52

Bryson wants uh to ask me who uh who would you like as the next North Coach? Um Just got my head around the the Jamie Graham possibilities, Bryce. And I know that he was a person that they were really keen to have a chat with. Uh in in the hours after they went public with the Alistair Clarkson decision, and that was the order in which it was done. There was no contact made prior to that. But obviously, once a club makes a decision to sack a a coach, you need to immediately get on the front foot with what you're gonna do. And I know that that name was as prominent as anyone's. And just to

Brad Johnson 2:21

has been for the last

Damian Barrett 2:23

Six months, hasn't it? It has, yeah. He he was the the one candidate that was common to both the Essendon and Calton pursuites. And in the end, he didn't get a look in at either club for reasons outside of his control. He interviewed really well at Calton and, by all reports, would have got the job had Josh Fraser not gone on that extraordinary surge of victories and and and and had to be appointed. So Jamie Graham was taken out of that. And Essendon When it's all said and done, was going to do Essendon. And they did. And that's not to take away what Mark McVeigh's candidacy looked like, but that was what happened there. So Jamie Graham missed there. And and North has effectively had the market to itself, despite not just Essendon and Carlton, but also Tazzy Johnno going down the Ken Hingley path.

Damian Barrett 3:05

And I raised that to to to to illustrate further and to enhance the fact that North hasn't lost one candidate out of the market that they were going to go down. Fraser wasn't a person of interest to them. Ken Hinckley wasn't going to be, given they just went down that that

Brad Johnson 3:18

And they have at North Melbourne have had a chat to John Longmeyer, said no. Adam Simpson has said said no. Working with Adam Simpson this year, like he is, he is super impressive. Like you can understand why he's a premiership coach and what he can what he can offer in into the future.
