I was just wondering whether the father son drafting would be effected at all by the comprimised drafts? Because I heard Essendon have quite a lot of father son prospects to look at.

Without really knowing the exact picks that GC have, i would think that if they wanted a player they would get it. For us to get a FS we have to 'bid' and if GC wanted him they just need to bid a higher round pick. With the amount of picks they receive surely they could easily do that. That's my understanding. Can anyone comfirm?

that sounds right. Bidding system will still be in place, if the want a player they will ultimately get him. However, i doubt they will pay over the asking price for a player and neither will we, regardless of whose son he is. Will reach an equilibrium point between what each club is willing to give for a certain player

Okay, well thats annoying, theres no security at all when we do have to deal with that
Sorry to intrude on your board, but my understanding is that if a club bids for your F/S selection, you only have to use your next pick to take him. So in this example if the GC bid for Ned Daniher with pick no. 2, Essendon would only have to use their next available pick, regardless of how many picks the GC have in between.
Saw Ned on the show today, hes a big boy!

Nah mate it works the opposite way. If any club made a bid we would just have to use our next avialable pick. This is what happened with Darcy Daniher. North bidded their 3rd round pick so we had to use our next pick which was a 3rd rounder. Nothing has changed. And GC or any club for that matter are not going to bid away draft picks unless they feel that this is what the player is worth. Its a much fairer system then the past where clubs like Geelong got guys like Ablett for basically nothing.

Heres the rule...
* 1. Individual clubs are free to nominate potential father-son recruits within the above eligibility guidelines.
* 2. A meeting is held on the Monday before the start of trade week where clubs can bid for the nominated players. Each club has the option to bid, in reverse ladder order, for the nominated players.
* 3. If a bid is made, the club that nominated the father-son player must use its next available selection if it wishes to retain its hold on that player. If a 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 to select the player.
* 4. Any club that makes a successful bid on a father-son selection is bound to the pick they nominate.
* 5. 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 to select the player.

From that link:
"The Cannons also feature Kane Laidley, the 17-year-old son of North Melbourne coach Dean, who played just 99 games for the Kangaroos, one short of the 100-game father-son qualification, meaning Kane must take his chances in the draft if good enough."
He may have just been mentioned because of his father, but it would be annoying for the Kanga's if Kane was AFL quality and they couldn't get him.

Okay, well it seems the thread title has served it's purpose, But on the show there was apparently more Father son prospects, Along the lines of Ezard and Madden, but i'm not entirely sure once again.
Ant'd probably be able to answer this.
