Matthew Lloyd in the middle as AFL trade period radio drama erupts

AFL Trade Radio will sound completely different in 2023 with Essendon legend Matthew Lloyd blocked from taking on the position he’s held for the previous 5 years.

Lloyd was left in the course of a tug-o’-war between SEN, who produces Trade Radio for the AFL web site, and his common employer Channel 9.

Lloyd has taken the “Early Trade” shift alongside Kane Cornes for the previous 5 years, however the Herald Sun has reported that Nine have blocked the previous AFL nice from taking his place.

It might be seen as a petty transfer on Nine’s half as Lloyd already seems within the AFL.com.au Access All Areas program every Monday.

Lloyd will stay as an unique knowledgeable on 3AW’s soccer protection, with Western Bulldogs champion and former six-time All-Australian Brad Johnson taking Lloyd’s place on AFL Trade Radio.

The report states that there was lingering pressure between SEN and 3AW after SEN lured former Brownlow Medallist Gerard Healy and his Sportsday program throughout final yr.

“It has been a real privilege to host Sportsday for 25 years, and I couldn’t be more excited for the program to find a new home at SEN,” Healy stated of the transfer.

“I’m looking forward to working with Kane (Cornes), someone I have huge respect for, as we cover all the big issues across the AFL and sport in general throughout the SEN airwaves.”

It ended a 28-year run at 3AW for Healy.

Nine crammed within the gap in it’s schedule with the Wide World of Sports program.

SEN can even need to fill one other seat on the AFL Trade Radio after Channel 7’s Mitch Cleary couldn’t decide to the present resulting from his workload on the community.

Cleary is about to be appointed the community’s Chief Football Reporter, succeeding Tom Browne.

Browne is about to maneuver to MA Financial Group, a non-public sector agency, which is owned by Sydney Swans chairman Andrew Pridham.

Browne shall be taking on a video content material producer position, MA Financial Group has confirmed.

Browne has been with Seven since 2011 and was in 2021 promoted to the place of chief soccer reporter following Mark Stevens’ departure.

Cleary joined the community in 2021 from AFL Media.
