THREE clubs have nominated players as father-son selections ahead of Monday's bidding process.

Jack Viney (Melbourne), Lachie Hunter (Western Bulldogs) and Joe Daniher (Essendon) were nominated before Friday's 2pm deadline.

All will now feature in the father-son bid meeting on Monday at 10am, when their fathers' former clubs can claim them subject to earlier bids from rival clubs.

But Collingwood chose not to nominate Sandringham Dragon James Stewart, a 197cm forward and son of 115-game Magpie Craig, and Hawthorn overlooked Oakleigh Charger James Stewart, a small forward/midfielder and son of 1987 Brownlow medallist John Platten. 

Jordon Bourke, the son of former Geelong captain Damian, was told earlier this week the Cats would not nominate him.

Bourke, a 194cm forward from Morningside in Queensland, can now be claimed by Gold Coast as a zone player or traded during Gillette AFL Trade Period, which starts on Monday.

Most interest at Monday's bid meeting will surround inside midfielder Viney.

Melbourne committed to nominate Viney, the son of former Melbourne captain and current Demons player development manager Todd, in November 2010.

But he is no certainty to follow in his father's footsteps.
 
Greater Western Sydney and Gold Coast, who hold picks No. 1 and 2 in this year's NAB AFL Draft, are reportedly considering bidding those picks for Viney on Monday.

If they do, Melbourne will have to use its first pick, No. 3, to snare Viney. But the Demons have refused to commit that pick to Viney, consistently saying they will take the best player available.

However, if GWS and the Suns bypass Viney, the Demons will most likely be able to claim him with their second-round selection, currently pick No. 26.

Forward/ruckman Daniher, 201cm, is widely touted as being worthy of this year's No. 1 or 2 picks and is almost certain to be claimed by the Bombers with their first selection, currently No. 10, on Monday.

The son of former Sydney Swans and Essendon key defender Anthony, Daniher was eligible to be taken by both of his father's former clubs, but chose the Bombers.

Hunter is the son of 130-game Bulldog defender Mark and the cousin of Essendon's Mark McVeigh and Swans co-captain Jarrad McVeigh.

The left-footed midfielder/forward is likely to cost the Bulldogs their third-round pick, currently No. 46.
