Him coming to port, or SA in general would pay that contract in attendance and merchandise sales fairly quickly, not to mention the exposure and sponsorship opportunities, it's food for thought

Would be a positive for marketing. The negative would be having to pay his contract out for the 5 or so years after he retired under the TPP cap. Not sure how the AFL can continue justify paying the Swans the cost of living bonus when the club basically says it will spend it on a player who may not be even living in Sydney for the last few years of his contract. If they reckon they can survive without it for those years then why can't they survive without it now?

A summary of the current trade position (WARNING, WARNING Will Robinson..... a Rucci article)

Source
The Power's priorities in the trade window - opening at Etihad Stadium on Monday - remain Richmond free agent Matt White and Brisbane midfielder Jared Polec.

Port hopes to have an answer from White, 26, next week - after the free-agent market opens on Friday. But the 105-game midfielder does have as many as five offers to consider, making his move to Alberton far from certain.
Polec, 20, is expected to seek a trade to the Crows rather than the Power.
But with Brisbane preferring Port's parcel of draft picks, Polec's homecoming deal to SA may drag to the last hours of the trade period that ends on Friday, October 25.
Robinson, 24, is an interesting option for Port if it does not want to end trade week empty handed. The 24-year-old Tasmanian has family in Adelaide. But he also has a contract at Carlton for next year that would have to be factored into any trade with the Power.
Port football operations chief Peter Rohde on Tuesday was anticipating Robinson being "shopped" the Power next week when Carlton will be busy with trade bait.
"But it is very unlikely he will end up with us," said Rohde.

I'm listening to this trade radio crap... why do they keep saying Hawthorn needs to match the offer for Franklin? Don't they realize he would just stay and Hawthorn would be stuck paying him for 10 years?

10 years is the killer, the AFL should have set a limit of up to 4 years for free agents.

This may be a silly question but how can I tune in to trade radio in my phone?
I'm in the same boat. Tried direct loading streams and playlists, but nothing working.

May resort to using Fiddler to capture the outbound http request - will let you know if I crack it.

Actually they would have to clear the cap space first before the AFL would sign off on them matching the offer.

And then they would still be at risk of Buddy leaving anyway.

- Doesn't seem like we're going after Robinson.
- Ken says we're looking for outside run - mentions White, Polec.
- Wants to increase power forwards if we can.
- Logan will likely stay.
- Don't want Didak - doesn't fit with the profile of our list. Doesn't sound keen on Chappy either. Don't want older guys.
- In a "pretty healthy" position to get White. Kenny loved the back end of his 2013. Mentions the job White did on Stephen Hill earlier this year so it seems we might be using him as shutdown player if we get him. Not looking at White to be a sub - want him to be a 4Q player.
- Unlikely to trade away first round pick.
- Jesse White is "not a deal we'd like to do".
- Hosts show Kern some love.
- Keith is casual.

So basically everything bar our interest in white and polec is rubbish.
