AFL TRADE Radio is hosting a special launch event that will give you unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to the upcoming Continental AFL Tyres Trade Period.

Hosted by AFL greats Matthew Lloyd and Stephen Silvagni, this launch is for anyone seeking exclusive first-hand tips with the former champions speculating on the major trades that will come out of the 2021 Toyota AFL Premiership Season. 

Gun AFL.com.au reporter and trade expert Mitch Cleary will also be joining the team where all the latest news will be discussed and all media questions answered.

The launch will reveal the stellar on-air talent line-up for the 2021 Trade Radio program and give you exclusive insight into what you can expect over the next three weeks.

Silvagni - the former Carlton list manager - is also set to speak exclusively for the first time about Carlton's off-season overhaul.

Since Silvagni last spoke on Trade Radio in November last year, the Blues have sacked senior coach David Teague, overhauled their board, and moved on from CEO Cain Liddle.

A falling out between Silvagni and Liddle was one of the main reasons for the Carlton great's departure from Princes Park.

AFL Trade Radio begins on Monday, September 27. Footy fans can listen live and video stream Trade Radio on AFL.com.au and the AFL Live Official App from 7am–6pm each day until the Trade Period is complete on October 12, with a special deadline day coverage on October 13.
