Why are we proposing something we know will get knocked back?Because the sum total of who we'd get at 6 & 18/20/23 is greater than just pick 2. Now if North want to put their F1 on the table as well, then we'd at least have to think long and hard about it.
I'd love to read that the offer we put to North is 6 & 24 for 2 and F1 take it or leave it. That way we take everyone we want with our first 7 picks and could then the first pick of R2 into a potential top 5 pick next year.
When North rightfully knocks that back we auction of 24 to the highest bidder before R2 begins and it becomes a win-win situation for us with 7 highly rated kids this year and at least 3 top 20 picks already in our pocket for 2025.
It feels like people (not you) are more focused on sticking it to North than actually getting a better result for Richmond.
The general perception I get from this board is that unless we absolutely embarass North then no deal should be done.
I agree that the deal needs to be in our favour as we have the leverage but ultimately I just want the best players. I don't care about North.
