The Caldwell conundrum, Pedlar yes or no, and a huge Tom McCarthy call! | Breaking Even with Al Paton

Jye Caldwell is hot property in SuperCoach this week, but the trade comes with serious red flags - is he worth the risk?

Host Al Paton is joined by Chloe Williams and the unluckiest man in SuperCoach this year, Tim Michell, to debate Caldwell and the biggest questions in week two of the byes.

Is Marcus Bontempelli worth the high price tag - and should we get more Bulldogs midfielders? Plus verdicts on Luke Pedlar, Tom Stewart, Sam Flanders and Tom De Koning, and when to bring in Zak Butters (not this week).

Plus the latest injury news (don't get Jason Horne-Francis this week, either) and Tim makes a big prediction on $99k rookie Tom McCarthy.

Keep an eye on Al's socials (@al_superfooty on X) for a weekly post asking for questions!
