Live: McKay decision looms large as Bombers chase massive trade period haul

Good morning, and welcome back to our live blog of the AFL trade period. Day one certainly delivered some excitement and a couple of shocks, with Lachie Schultz stunning Freo with a trade request and Adelaide getting pick 19 back for free agent Tom Doedee.

But that was very much just the entree. Today we are expecting the AFL to reveal the compensation North Melbourne can expect for Ben McKay, who is headed to Essendon. That decision will shape the rest of this trade period, with so many future deals tied into what happens next with the McKay case.

I’ll be here all day long with all the news, ready and waiting for your thoughts and questions. There’s plenty to talk about, so lets get that discussion going.
