The Western Bulldogs find themselves in a fight for finals qualification, with September fast approaching.
While the team's sole focus will be the last three games of their home and away season, the list management department at the Whitten Oval will be assessing potential levers for improvement, in the hopes of gifting Luke Beveridge an even better chance of a maiden, elusive, top-four finish.
Who are some players list boss Sam Power could have on his wishlist?
Power brokers at Alberton reportedly offered Zak Butters what could very well be the largest deal in AFL history, in a bid to secure his services beyond 2026.
Geelong and the Western Bulldogs have emerged as the two likely landing spots for the exceptional midfielder, given their relative proximity to Butters' family ties in the Bacchus Marsh area.
A prospective partnership with the likes of Marcus Bontempelli and Ed Richards understandably sends tails wagging, with the Darley product's tenacious attack on the football and the man firming him as a ready-made replacement for fan favourite, Tom Liberatore.
A dual All-Australian, Butters does not come with the bargain price tag of previous names on this list, but what a coup he would be to represent for the Sons of the West.
