Matthew Lloyd has proposed a hypothetical trade, which allows Alex Keath, Josh Bruce and Zak Jones to get to their respective homes of choice.
Keath and Bruce wish to get to the Western Bulldogs, while Jones wants to be a Saint.
Lloyd believes this all starts with the Bulldogs and their unwillingness to part with pick 13.
“It all starts with the Western Bulldogs parting with pick 13 which they don’t want to, but have to,” he told Telstra AFL Trade Radio.
“The Dogs give pick 13, pick 32 and pick 51 all to the Adelaide Crows.
“In return, the Crows give to the Bulldogs pick 23, pick 28 and Alex Keath.
“That works out to Keath being worth pick 34 with that transaction, which is fair.
“That 28 that the Dogs got back goes to St Kilda for Josh Bruce.
“Then the (Saints), that 28 that they got for Bruce, that goes to Sydney for Zak Jones.
“It is (the Bulldogs’) only way of getting Keath and Bruce through the door, parting with pick 13.
“They’ll stick have pick 23 from the Crows.”
