Welcome back to The Barrel Podcast—where footy chat stays passionate, positive, and full of purpose. In Episode 3, we’re diving into Trade Preview Part #2, unpacking the strategies, bold moves, and future-shaping decisions of some of the AFL’s most talked-about clubs.
🔵 Carlton – Could trading Charlie Curnow actually help the Blues long-term? We break down the bold idea and explain why Graeme Wright might be the most important figure at the club right now.
🟡 Richmond – With elite draft capital and a rising youth brigade, the Tigers are playing the long game. Should they fast-track with a big-name trade—or trust the process and let Yze build something new?
🔴 Adelaide – The Crows have nailed the rebuild. Now, it’s time to strike. Could a big-name midfielder be the missing piece in their premiership puzzle?
Whether you're a die-hard fan or just love a smart footy chat, this episode brings sharp insights, passionate takes, and a positive spin on AFL’s trade period.
🎙️ Like a barrel, we may drift—but when we connect, we kick goals. Let’s talk footy the way it should be.
