North Melbourne will not trade pick two and will take the top selection to the National Draft.
The Herald Sun is reporting that the Roos wanted two top 10 picks or a top five pick and another early selection, with the Suns and Bombers showing fleeting interest.
However, Essendon was unwilling to trade two of its three picks inside the top 10, picks six, seven and eight.
It appears the Bombers will also take their incredibly strong hand to the draft.
The Suns hold pick five, but their next pick after that sits at 27.
North Melbourne will also reportedly keep two spots on their list open following the draft in order to sign a player in the pre-season and mid-season signing periods.
The Roos delisted 14 players following the completion of the 2020 season, creating roster space and flexibility for this off-season.
