After much posturing, posing, gnashing of teeth and many, many phone calls, the trade period is officially over. So, who won? Who lost? Did all the expected deals go through and was it worth the wait?

Catherine Murphy and Paul Roos take a deep dive into the last day of the trade period and decide who get the better deals done, why everything has taken so long as well as analysing the process of trading, drafting and building a team.

The draft is coming soon. Time will only tell how 'super-duper' it is.

Things finally started moving as two multi-team trades occurred on the penultimate day of the trade period. 

Catherine Murphy and Paul Roos discuss the winners and losers of each deal as they unpack what the 'mega' trades mean for the teams involved.

Ticks, question marks and integrity are the key words from AFL Hall of Famer, Roosy, as well as what might really be happening in the background.

Also, isn't every years draft supposed to be good?

The scene is set for a frantic last two days of the trade period, but before the dominoes fall, Mitch Turner and Paul Roos analyse the pick trades that occurred today and how that shakes up the draft.

Roosy gives his opinion on the academy and how the father-son rules in the AFL mean the premiership team could effectively get the first draft pick and how that affects the future of the game.

He also runs his eye over Carlton and what their end-game is for this trade period.

There's three days to go in the trade period and although it's been quiet so far, there's a feeling that a lot is going to happen very soon.

Which club does Roosy suggest should be suspended from the draft if the trade doesn't go through? How important are the combines and what is the real value of a draft pick?

Also, Mitch Turner and Paul Roos run their lens over the speculated transfers and whether or not they will actually happen, but more importantly, if they should.

It was crickets from Docklands today as the trade period ground to a halt again, but it gave Declan Byrne and Paul Roos a chance to discuss the bigger picture around the trade period. 

How important can it be towards winning a flag and what are some examples of clubs that have picked up exactly who they needed at the right time?

Roosy recalls his experiences at the Swans and what lead to their 2012 flag, but runs his eye over the current big names and who fits just right into the clubs they're expected to end up at.

We're halfway through the trade period and whilst the day didn't bring any human trades, we did see some more of the puzzle coming together with a number of picks being traded instead.

What does this mean for Dan Houston and Tom Barras? Should the Swans be sending Chad Warner to the West? What's the latest with Clayton Oliver - do Melbourne really want him?

Catherine Murphy and Paul Roos dissect the pick swaps, speculate on what's to come and cover the rest of the day's news.

With a fascinating insight into the trade period, Premiership winning coach and almost traded player, Paul Roos, discusses with Catherine Murphy his history of trading from a player and coach perspective.

What happens if a player has to return to their club after almost being traded? How does that affect the player and the team and can there be a silver lining? 

Whilst the trade period continues to be sluggish, the stories certainly aren't!

Three days into the trade period but just two trades completed. Is it time to just do the deal?

Catherine Murphy and Paul Roos discuss the Dan Houston domino effect, how much the Tiger's players are worth and what it'll take for deals to be done before the final day of trade.

They also discuss the appointment of Graham Wright to Carlton and reactions to Andrew McQualter's new role at the Eagles.

Whilst the list managers work in the kitchen (or maybe eat at the table), Catherine Murphy and former Premiership coach, Paul Roos, speculate on what's being cooked.

Also, who were the tough list managers that Roosy had to deal with and who is he calling the biggest signing in the free-agent period?

The big names are still on the table, but who will they end up in front of?

Premiership winning coach Paul Roos joins Catherine Murphy to recap the first day of the trade period with two trades already in the can.

What will the ten day period hold? What is a contract actually worth now-a-days and who will be left at Punt Road at the end of the all?
