With Zak Butters stunningly linked to Melbourne, The Hitout crew get Phoenix’s reaction and break down what the Demons could offer Port Adelaide. Off the back of our relegation/promotion chat last week, the boys also look at which club could be the 20th in the AFL, and also take a look at their pre-season predictions. Plus, Aidan, Phoenix and Mitch each create a custom footy jumper and pitch it to the others.

The Hitout AFL Podcast is Zero Hanger’s weekly show covering all of the latest AFL news, views and footy fun, featuring host Phoenix Trinidad and presenters Mitch Keating and Aidan Cellini.
