Description

Yessss big, big footy fans this week we have two of the most well-known journos in the game; Sam McClure and Mitch Cleary! They're back for our annual catch up and we’re diving deep into everything going on in the AFL right now (there's a LOT). We chat about whether Bont stays, the continuous Carlton dilemma, trade opportunities with Zak Butters, Luke Jackson, Kozzie Pickett and plenty more. We also unpack how clubs are managing list builds, relationships between players and journos, and the sometimes blurry line between facts and favours. To end the chat, Sam and Mitch dig into how they back themselves on stories, how often they’re played by player managers, and what it takes to survive in the AFL media cycle (and of course, Dyl goes full footy nuff). Always a pleasure having the boys on & can't thank them enough for their time. Enjoy xx Get around the Tradies podcast here! & Follow them on Instagram here!
