Is this confirmed tmr if no one nominates a national draft pick for RLS or do we have to wait until the national draft to see whether he's picked? I'd assume it'd work the same as other father son picks but how late do they bid? Does anyone know the answer to this?

He can still be taken in the national draft by the sounds of it or we get him as rookie list player.

FATHER-SON – ROOKIE PRE-SELECTION
The Father-Son Rule previously applied to players selected at the National Draft. Under the rule, other AFL clubs can bid for eligible players who have been nominated under the Father-Son Rule by an eligible club. The nominating club can select the eligible player by forfeiting its next available pick in the draft if a bid has been made by another club. If there is no bid from another club, the nominating club forfeits its last pick in the National Draft.
A club can pre-select an eligible player as a Category A rookie between the Pre-Season and Rookie Drafts (with the player’s consent) provided the player had nominated for but was not selected by another club at either the National or Pre-Season Drafts. In that case, the relevant club would forfeit its last available selection in the Rookie Draft to take the player.
 
No if he gets taken he gets taken. if he doesn't get taken in the draft or pre-season we can have him as our last rookie pick. that's my reading of it. We clearly are not interested in having him as anything but a rookie.

That week should be used to prepare for the bigfooty meltdowns when we don't draft a tall with our first pick.. (eg. Darling, Kersten, Shaw)

Former Fremantle father-son draft nominee Lester-Smith will search for an AFL chance after a strong season with East Fremantle where he managed 16 senior games, kicked 43 goals and averaged 13.3 disposals.

From the afl website in reference to the state combines. What do they mean by former ?!?

Nope, it was posted on Twitter by the AFL and TradeRadio if I recall.
Trade Radio @traderadio
The @Fremantle_FC has nominated Ryan Lester-Smith (son of Neil) as a potential father-son rookie pre-selection.
