North Melbourne is reportedly open to offering Richmond its prized Pick 2 - and a future first-round selection - for picks 6 and 11 in next month's National Draft, according to the Herald Sun.

The Kangaroos' first pick has long been linked with a switch to a rival, with the Tigers believed to be keen to snare the first two selections in this year's draft.

Head of Football talent Brady Rawlings admitted shortly after the end of the trade period that after utilising Picks 24 and 44 to secure Caleb Daniel, Luke Parker and Jacob Konstanty during the trade period, they were "light on" with selections.

However, Rawlings was open to using Pick 2 to help slide down the order, as well as the club's future pick.

"There's options with the two," Rawlings said last week.

"There's options with our future hand. We've got future one, two, three and four still up our sleeves.

"We can trade all the way up until draft night. We can trade on the night.

"So we'll keep exploring ways to improve our draft hand."

Such a deal would allow North Melbourne to target key position talents in a midfield-heavy draft.

Alix Tauru has been heavily linked to the club whileย key forward Harry Armstrong could also be a player on interest for the Kangaroos to assist Nick Larkey and Cam Zurhaar.

On the other side of the coin, Richmond could be left with seven early selections โ€” picks 1, 2, 10, 19, 20, 23 and 24 โ€” along with two first-round picks next year.

The Tigers would be keen to bolster their midfield stocks and would be eyeing the likes of Jagga Smith, Sam Lalor and Murphy Reid.

Richmond would also like to bring in key position players at either end, with Armstrong and Luke Trainor posing as the best talls in the crop.

Clubs can trade picks leading up to and during the draft.

The 2024 National Draft will take place on November 20 and 21.
