THE 'BIDNEY' nickname isn't going anywhere fast.

Last year, opposition recruiters light-heartedly dubbed the Swans as 'Bidney' after an AFL Draft in which the club placed back-to-back Academy and father-son bids on Harry Rowston and Max Michalanney with its first-round picks.

This season, Sydney was at it again. When it came the Swans' time to call on Monday evening, for the second straight year they placed successive bids on Gold Coast's Jake Rogers and the Western Bulldogs' Jordan Croft at picks No.14 and 15 respectively.

Sydney – or 'Bidney' – placed two of the seven bids that came within a jam-packed first round of the draft on Monday night, with five Academy bids matched by rival teams and two father-son bids also matched.

North Melbourne had earlier forced Gold Coast to match a bid on Academy gun Jed Walter at pick No.3, then made Hawthorn match a bid on father-son youngster Will McCabe later in the night at pick No.19.

It means North Melbourne joined Richmond with the most bids placed since the AFL changed the rules around Academy and father-son bidding back in 2015, with both teams having placed nine bids each. Sydney is next with eight.

Geelong placed a top-10 bid on Gold Coast's Ethan Read, Collingwood forced Sydney to match a bid of its own on Caiden Cleary at pick No.24, while Adelaide concluded a massive haul for the Suns by forcing them to match a bid on Will Graham at pick No.26.

All clubs have placed at least one bid on a rival's Academy or father-son product since 2015.
