FORMER Sydney forward Barry Hall is on the verge of joining the Western Bulldogs after being offered a two-year contract.
Bulldogs football manager James Fantasia said the club was 'hopeful' a suitable deal would be reached with the Swans during trade week, which begins on October 5.
"There remain a number of issues the parties involved need to work through, however the Western Bulldogs remain hopeful an agreement can be reached," Fantasia said.
The news comes a day after Bulldogs forward Scott Welsh announced his retirement from AFL football.
Welsh was recruited from Adelaide at the end of 2007 and kicked 63 goals in 40 matches with the Dogs.
The 30-year-old was a member of North Melbourne's 1999 premiership side before joining the Crows where he played 129 games.
He finishes with 205 games and 363 goals to his name.
