While the finals race is heating up, there's already plenty of attention towards the upcoming trade period.

With financial cuts looming and players demanding more trades than ever before, there's no reason to believe this upcoming off-season won't be as wild and unpredictable as the season proper.

So, then - how about 10 massive trades we'd like to see to get the ball rolling?

3. Trade three

Western Bulldogs receive: Luke Breust

Hawthorn receive: Early second-round pick

If the Hawks are going to go all in on a rebuild, players like Luke Breust and Jack Gunston won't be in their next premiership side. Breust would add some much needed veteran class to polish to a Bulldogs forward line that has struggled at times this season.

For a player the calibre of Breust, the Hawks would be aiming to get a late first, but considering he'll be 30 in November, they might have to settle for an early second. That being the case, the Dogs might have to trade up if their current second round pick doesn't do it for the Hawks.
