North Melbourne confirmed last week that they are open to offers for their prized pick two in the National Draft and so the question is now what would get them to hand over that pick.
Essendon looks the likely option given they hold picks six, seven and eight, but should the Roos give up such a high selection for multiple lesser assets?
David King believes North Melbourne should look at it as part of kick-starting their rebuild.
“The simple answer is I don’t know – these guys at club level have been watching these guys develop and come along for three, four, five years,” King told SEN Breakfast.
“So they’ll have a better handle on the product and know what you’re passing up if you pass up pick two and everyone tells me that is Luke McDonald from Western Australia who’s played WAFL footy already.
“He had a fantastic season, so he’s ready to go and maybe he’s one you can build your forward line around, I don’t know.
“So to give that up is a fair risk, but if you’re going to get volume and I don’t know if you get picks six and eight or more than that, I’m not sure, but do the Kangaroos need volume or do they need the one star? That’s the question you’ll have to get your head around.
“Personally, I like the idea of volume at this stage, but gee when you see what pick two could be, I can understand the logic of why people are saying ‘don’t give up that pick’.
“It’ll be interesting to see what clubs offer and the Kangaroos have got to be open to everything.”
The 2020 National Draft will take place on December 7th with live pick trading allowed right through to its conclusion.
