The North/Tauru situation is a little like GWS/Cadman a couple of years back. Cadman was never a number one pick. But he was what GWS were after. Time will tell if that pays off.
North now have the option of picking the guy they want at 2, or trying to finagle a deal that gets the same guy at a lower pick, and a bonus pick to go with it. But that pick is a bonus. Whether it's 10, 11, 18, or 24. I can't see Richmond giving them 10 or 11 in this scenario. Richmond need multiple top end picks more than anything. If North want 10 or 11 as part of this deal, then they're going to have to pay for it imo.
I think Richmond have a powerful narrative by landing the next Martin/Cotchin pairing to lead the rebuild, which could work in North's favour. Lalor/O'Sullivan is that narrative, and it could very well be reality too.
Take those 2 as the headliners and then add 5 more 1st Rders could be their strategy imo. I think they will trade 6&11 for 2. Maybe some low grade future swaps to make either team happier. I think 2 for 6&11 suits both teams.
