Summary
The AFL trade period is back.. the most over complicated part of sport. Christian, Patsy, Alex and Rio try to make sense of the chaos.
From Charlie Curnow’s potential unpaid internship at the Swans just to escape Melbourne, and “facility tours” that sound more like episodes of The Block, to Will Brodie’s baffling pick 103 trade.. we pull apart the country’s most confusing time of year.

| 0:52.5 | What an amazing story that is. A million dollars. It doesn't want to earn it. If he's still going to play for gold. The old story, he wants to get out of the Melbourne bubble. Yes, it's that one, isn't he? Same with Clayton Oliver as well, except for round GWS. Wrong choice of words, they were Clayton.
