North are just strange. They are looking at bringing in spring chickens Nathan Brown, Chris Mayne and Zach Tohey, to replace their old brigade.

Trade state of play: What moves will your club make in the off-season?

Western Bulldogs

Draft selections: 12, 30, 58, 66, 71

Free agents: Matthew Boyd (unrestricted), Will Minson (unrestricted)

How's the salary cap looking?
The Dogs appear to have room to land a big fish after just failing to lure high-priced Bomber Michael Hurley to Whitten Oval.

Who's definitely on the table?
No Bulldogs have officially requested a trade yet with the season still alive.

Anyone else?
Midfielder Koby Stevens remains unsigned and has been linked with a move to Essendon. Small forward Nathan Hrovat is also out of contract, but is favoured to stay after impressing in his return from injury. Midfielder Mitch Honeychurch dominates the VFL, but has struggled for opportunities at senior level. Lin Jong could be headed to Collingwood after touring the Magpies' facilities mid-season.

Who are they targeting?
Travis Cloke is almost certain to be a Dog in 2017 after asking Collingwood for a trade. Geelong's Nathan Vardy is also of interest to the Dogs, as Luke Beveridge is a big fan of versatile big men. And after missing out on Hurley, Eagle Eric Mackenzie or Magpie Nathan Brown could also be on the Bulldogs' radar to replenish their thin key defensive stocks.

Given we are into Mackenzie and Brown and have Adams, Hamling, Collins and Zaine down back my feeling is that if Roberts is dropped for tomorrow night's match that will be the last we see of him.

Not convinced we are into McKenzie or Brown, it's only (logical) speculation from the journalist at this point.

Will be an interesting trade period for us.

Yeah I haven't heard anything specific about them either. We seem to be linked to anyone over 193cm as per every trade period since 2008. The Jong speculation has stimulated the Brown talk it seems.

Brown is a restricted free agent, unless we decide to trade.
