Is there a world where we get picks 1,2,3 ?
Get 6,9, 10 & 12
Give 6 & 9 to Norf for 2
Give 10 & Baker to WC for 3.
End up with 1,2,3,12,21 plus maybe Brisbane's first for academy players then general upgrades.
So, while the Kangaroos weigh up their options at Pick 2, would they consider splitting that selection for a pair of top 10 picks?
Currently, Fremantle are the only club that could offer that good of a draft hand as they hold Picks 9 and 10, the latter being traded from Collingwood last year.
The Dockers are a chance to part with one or both of those picks as they look to lure Richmond pair Shai Bolton and Liam Baker to Cockburn, meaning the Tigers might be a bidder for Pick 2.
Richmond are also said to be a chance of securing Gold Coast's selection of Pick 6 in a trade deal for Daniel Rioli, meaning the Tigers could hold selections 1, 6 and 9/10, placing them as a key player in the early stages of this year's draft.
Pick 6 and either 9 or 10 could be packaged to satisfy the Roos in a deal for Pick 2, a trade that would give North Melbourne two bites in the top 10 while the Tigers open the count with the first pair of picks.
It would place the Kangaroos in a position to acquire both Trainor and Armstrong, or at least one of the two and another top line teenager in the top 10.
Richmond also possesses the prized position of opening the second round of the AFL Draft, which will start night two of this year's proceedings.
Rival clubs are likely to offer premium deals for the selection as they look to move to the front of the queue and attain the best teenager left over from the first round of picks.
