Sportsday with Adam White & Ken Hinkley - Full Show (07/10/26)
Summary
Sportsday discusses the ongoing AFL trade period, with Ken Hinkley arguing that the process is unnecessarily long given the extensive pre-trade negotiations. The hosts analyze key moves, including Jordan Ridley's transfer to Geelong and the complex Zach Butters deal, while debating whether free agency is widening the gap between top and bottom clubs. The episode also covers the Brisbane Lions' search for a new coach following Chris Fagan's departure and provides updates on the Sheffield Shield cricket match between Victoria and South Australia.
