Agree with you except the last line.Norf negotiating through the media. We can be pretty confident that 2 and F1 for 6 & 11 is on the table. Maybe as the monk says with something later from our end but that's the guts of the deal. Norf want in on this draft. They currently have picks 2 & 62. They tried and failed to trade their F1 for 13.
I love our likely options at 10 & 11 in this draft: Hotton, Lindsay, Allan, an outside chance of Armstrong. It'd sting to give up one of those and possibly Smillie or Langford but to get FOS it's worth it. We could potentially trade up with say 18 & 23 for 13 and get our pick 11 man anyway.
Norf will rise next year but it's still probably a top-10, even top-5. (I think we'll try to trade it for Cadman anyway.)
If we get pick 2 you can bet your house we're taking Lalor and FOS. We're not that keen on Smith.
Cadman is the new Lynch.Has Blair written all over it.
