AFL trade period day three LIVE coverage: Saints and Cats tussle over Marshall

Although there was only one trade officially lodged on Tuesday, there was still plenty happening and plenty for Andrew Wu and Michael Gleeson to talk about on the Real Footy podcast.

Hawthorn’s move on Ben King and – coupled with the recruitment of Zach Merrett on Monday – what it means for their premierships aspirations was on top of the agenda.

They also spoke about Jaymie Graham’s first outing as senior coach of North Melbourne, the complex negotiations surrounding Rowan Marshall, Sam Marshall and, potentially, Gryan Miers.
