Here is the rule..
Father-Son Rule: This rule was introduced to ensure that family traditions were upheld when it comes to footy, as sons of fathers that played for any given club could be selected by that club regardless of zoning rules. In order to be eligible for the Father-Son Rule, the father had to have played at least 100 games for the club. All other teams are allowed to bid on the son. The team that wishes to draft the son then has to match the highest bid with their next available draft selection.
And here's an example..
So unless one of the teams below us, (Saints, Demons, Giants, Lions, Dogs, Bluesers & Suns) nominate him we can use our second round pick, 'cos if anyone above us on the ladder nominates him, we use our next draft pick, (2nd).
If no-one else nominates him, (highly unlikely) we can use our last pick.

The FS nominating is all decided before the draft.
Clubs nominate the pick they want to use and Collingwood has to use their next pick higher than the lowest pick bid by the other clubs, or decide to pass and the club with the lowest pick bid has to take him.
Eg. if Carlton say they will use pick #6 on Moore it will force Collingwood to use pick #8.
If the best bid for Moore is Adelaide's pick #27 we would have to use our next pick which would be our 3rd rounder, pick #44, I think.
