Description
Scott Clayton has been in the AFL industry for 40 years and has been a recruiting manager for over 30 years. Deal Maker takes us behind the scenes to look at some of the AFL’s biggest trades and what it takes to find the right players.
The trade period and draft are the biggest recruitment events on the calendar for AFL clubs to refresh and invigorate their lists with hot players from other clubs and young emerging stars.
Scott has been in charge of setting up the Gold Coast Suns and was the person who recruited Gary Ablett from Geelong to the Suns in a major coup. Journalist Peter Ryan brings to life the behind-the-scenes machinations that affect every club.
