We get Bruce and give them 30, 41, 46 & 84.

They would now have 5 (Hill), 30 (Jones), 41 (Ryder), 46 (Gray), 55 (draft 1), 67 (draft 2) & 84 (draft 3) (or similar)

Dogs get St Kilda's 2020 2nd Rounder (with Bruce). Seems like a good win-win for both clubs.
I know this is a stand alone scenario but to get the full effect are we (likely) keeping pick 12 or looking to turn that into Howard from Port and something else coming back to us this year or next?

We could effectively be writing off this years 1st and 2nd rounds picks which hasn't been in our DNA

It helps Saints achieve at least some of their wish lists (although they will make a play for Ben King next year without a 2nd round pick) but the unkown is what it does for us unless Port would be interested in a 2nd rounder in 2020 for Howard
