Yep. If no one bids on him in the F/S process at year's end, I think Will Langford at Hawthorn was one such example.

So the bidding process is only for the national draft, then if he's not nominated there it's open slather in the rookie draft?

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.

Thanks, that clears it up. Bit of a risk not to nominate him for the ND then, safer to put his name up and just use our last pick if no-one else wants him. Though I guess those sort of risks are part and parcel of being a recruiter, and it comes down to how good we think he will be

We will see I guess. He had a bad foot injury last year which kept him out for much of the year. If that re-occurs then who knows what will happens.
