Since we have a father/daughter option, i was looking at how that works.
After reading the following explainer....i will be keen to find an explainer that actually helps explain it! :o
Lets say there are 18 picks in each round, one pick per team (an untainted draft).
Lets say you have a father daughter option and have pick 1 and pick 19.
Lets say someone bids on your father/daughter option at pick 18. Based on the above comments. That means that it is the last pick from that round, so you can't match it, even though you have the very next pick as you don't have a pick in the same round.
In fact, since you have 1 and 19, if anyone between pick 2 and pick 18 bids, you can't match it because they are not in the same round.
Surely thats not right.
Otherwise all you'd need is the last pick in every round and you can match any bid.
If you have the first pick in each round, you can't match any bids.

Quote:How does father-daughter bidding work?The 'within the same round' comments don't make sense to me.
Live bidding on father-daughter selections and northern Academy nominees will occur for the first time in the AFLW. Clubs with access to these players (i.e. Brisbane's access to nominees from the Lions Academy) will have to match bids from other clubs within the same round. Should they not have the available picks in that round, the original club that selected that player will be able to draft them.
