Sydney is set for a busy trade period, but one player flying under the radar is Zak Jones.

The Herald Sun reported in September that Jones toured the facilities at St Kilda and was likely to head to Moorabbin.

However, the Saints are juggling several other trade situations, including Brad Hill, Paddy Ryder and Sam Gray along with Jones, while Josh Bruce and Jack Steven could be on the way out.

Complicating matters is St Kilda’s lack of draft capital, only holding picks six, 56, 73 and 79.

Matthew Lloyd believes Jones’ value is higher than what the Saints could potentially afford.

“To me, Zak Jones is worth a late first-round pick,” he told Telstra AFL Trade Radio.

“I like him, I think around that pick 20 mark for (Jones).

“I think for what he provides, I think they took him pretty early in the draft, but I don’t think the Swans, if they lose Tom Papley, will they want to let Jones go unless it is a really good deal.

“Obviously (St Kilda) has the Bradley Hill trade to get done and that will cost them pick six.

“Josh Bruce goes out, Jack Steven goes out, so they may have to have someone else go out to get Jones to the footy club.

“It might be hard to get Sam Gray in because they already have a lot of balls in the air.”
