Is Blair still knocking on Dumbnorf's door? "Hello North...can you hear me?.....we need to speak...."
Melbourne has no interest or intentions of trading 2 picks in top 10

Unless Taylor can convince Thursfield he will take Tauru at #5 he has no power in this. If he can convince Thursfield of this, well, we have a game.
Taylor has terrific cards if Thursfield is wedded to Tauru. Suppose Taylor parlays into #2 and then puts it on the table by menacing whoever Carlton wants at #3, say Smith? He could keep going until he has to take the player he wants. Or later. If he wants say Bo Allan and Armstrong. FWIW I cred the FOS rumour to some extent. But it may be say Smith.
This much I am pretty certain of. Taylor has Lalor a lock at #1.
Thursfield is no dummy. He is under massive pressure here. I'm interested in how he handles the Noibsploiting psychopath Jason Taylor. The Bogan Blofeld of the 2024 draft!
Tim Lamb on Trade Radio now. Talking up the draft big time. They still may use those picks to improve their draft hand.
Trading for 2 would be to add FOS to Lalor. (We're taking Lalor at 1.)
Good chance Jagga is there at 6.
On the board right now-
1. Lalor
2. Tauru if Thursfield keeps it. Rather likely to trade IMO.
3. FOS? Or Smith?
4. FOS or Smith?
5. Draper, Langford or Smillie?
If Taylor wants Smith or FOS he will probably have to trade up. Almost certainly. Mm. Maybe Thursfield has more power than I was thinking. He will have a bead on Taylor's agenda.
Taylor and Thursfield should string each other out. What if somebody breaks a leg? Or becomes a monk or something. There's plenty of time to trade draft choices.

I would take FOS at one and Bailey Smith at 11. It's only right.
Where's all the Lalor at 1 talk come from?
Twomey certainly hasn't marked it in. And he knows more than anyone outside club land.

Bill Bungal from the Ballarat Beat has been consistently saying he's number 1. He's better than Twomey. You can trust him.
Weirdest thing about this draft is there's still no clear no 1 pick.
