FORGET about 'Bidmond', last week's NAB AFL Draft was all about 'Bidney'.

For years, opposition recruiters have light-heartedly dubbed their Richmond rivals as 'Bidmond' for the number of bids they have placed on father-son and Academy prospects eligible to join other clubs.

But during last Monday and Tuesday night's Draft, Sydney stole the title from its Richmond counterparts after consecutive bids on Harry Rowston and Max Michalanney late in the first round.

Unfortunately for the Swans, their plan was foiled when the Giants matched a bid at pick No.16 for their Academy prospect Rowston and the Crows then secured Michalanney at the very next selection as a father-son talent.

Sydney also caught the attention of Hawthorn later in the draft as well, calling Cooper Vickery's name at pick No.27. The Gippsland Power prospect was eligible to join the Hawks as part of their Next Generation Academy, had a bid fallen outside the top 40.

Hawthorn itself played a key bidding role on Tuesday night, forcing Essendon to match a bid on its father-son prospect Alwyn Davey jnr at pick No.45. Unsurprisingly, it was quickly matched by the Bombers.

There had also been bidding drama earlier in the action. The Western Bulldogs, having been locked in an intense trade saga with Brisbane over the departure of Josh Dunkley just a month ago, forced the Lions to match a bid on Jaspa Fletcher at pick No.12.

The bid on Fletcher came earlier than some expected, and followed North Melbourne's decision to bid on Brisbane father-son gun Will Ashcroft at pick No.2. However, shrewd live trading meant the Lions still weren't forced to go into a points deficit.

Richmond, despite making no bids throughout this year's action, have still placed the most bids on rival father-son and Academy players since the AFL's new system was first introduced in 2015. The Tigers have made nine bids, with four successful.

The Kangaroos (seven bids, three successful) have made the next most, with the Bombers (six bids, two successful), the Bulldogs (six bids, one successful) and the Swans (six bids, zero successful) up alongside them.
