Brown,28,is on the lookout for a second AFL club after contract talks between his management and the Kangaroos stalled last month.North decided they were prepared to offload him despite Brown booting more than 60 goals in each of the three seasons between 2017 and 2019.
Essendon and Fremantle are among the other clubs who have been linked to Brown. He is not a free agent,having been recruited to North as a mature-age player from the VFL and only served seven seasons at Arden Street.

Brown is one of at least five experienced and proven key forwards who could be on the move during the trade and free agency period next month.
Joe Daniher is bound for Brisbane after exercising his rights as a restricted free agent,however Essendon have threatened to force the Lions into a trade for the 2017 All-Australian and Bombers best and fairest.
Geelong find themselves in a similar boat after Greater Western Sydney indicated they were highly likely to match a bid for Jeremy Cameron following the 2019 Coleman medallist's decision to exercise his restricted free agency rights,with a preference to move to the Cats.
