MMM - The Molly Plan for Trade and drafting in the AFL
Its been a while since the last show and so I started off going through the results of the 2008 finals and looking back at the Brownlow winner, Adam Cooney and the Grand Finalist, Geelong and Hawthorn. The Premiership cup was raised be Sam Mitchell and Alastair Clarkson of the Mighty Hawks.
I then discussed trade week. The rant of the show was saved for my ideas on how to get Trade week to work (starting with extending it longer then a week).

Poll: Where will Ryan O’Keefe end up?
Well its the AFL Trade week and the biggest name of a player that looks like he is looking for a new home is Sydney Swans All-Australian forward, Ryan O’Keefe. He is said to wanting to come home to Melbourne and after the first day of trade talks it appears the reigning Premiers, Hawthorn, are interested if the price is right!
