To explain the discrepancies between father son and academy selections in terms of the discount I think theres a bit of an unwritten rule amongst teams in the afl to allow father-son selections to fall through to the team thats nominated the player. Therefore the bids for those players aren't as high as they might be if they were academy selections, meaning the points required to match the bid is reduced and hence at least imo could be the reason for a reduced discount.
