Read below for the bidding explanation from the AFL:
A club can nominate an eligible father-son draftee, with the player’s written consent, for the upcoming NAB AFL Draft.
At a meeting held prior to the Trade Period each other club in the competition then has the option to bid, in reverse ladder order, for that player. If a bid is made, the club that nominated the father-son player must use its next available selection if it wishes to retain hold on that player.
If the club nominating the father-son player declines to match the selection nominated, the club with the successful bid must use that selection at the draft.
Any club that makes a successful bid on a father-son selection is bound to the pick they nominate.
If no bid is made by another club, the club that nominated the father-son eligible player will forfeit its last selection in the draft.
