The Bidding Process

The order of picks will change on the night as clubs lodge bids for father-son nominations and players from Sydney, GWS, Brisbane and Gold Coast talent academies.

Every draft pick from 1-73 is allocated a points value from 9-3000 and if a rival club bids on a nominated player, the club that nominated them has the option of matching that pick (minus a 20 per cent discount) with points from their own selections — and taking the player.

The same rules apply for father-son nominations — Essendon last year lodged a cheeky bid for Jack Silvagni with pick 53, forcing Carlton to match it to claim the son of SOS.

Clubs don’t have to match a bid — the Bulldogs placed a bid for Josh Dunkley at pick 24 last year even though he had been nominated by Sydney as a father-son selection. The Swans decided not to match and Dunkley is now a premiership player.
