Former Essendon great Matthew Lloyd has come up with a huge four-way trade that sees Alex Keath, Josh Bruce and Zak Jones all find new homes for 2020.

Keath and Bruce both want to get to the Dogs, while Jones has nominated St Kilda as his destination of choice, and could be one of five new signings for the Saints over the coming days.

With the Saints wrapped up in Brad Hill negotiations with Fremantle, talks with Sydney may be a little quieter, although Lloyd believes this deal works out quickly for the Saints, as well as benefitting all clubs.

If a move similar to this goes through, it would likely be the first domino to fall in what shapes up to be a massive three days of trading.

“It all starts with the Western Bulldogs parting with pick 13 which they don’t want to, but have to,” Lloyd told AFL Trade Radio on Monday.

“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.”
