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

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.
