'BIDMOND' is back again.

After a national draft dominated by bids – with 18 placed across the course of the past two nights, and 13 matched across the competition – Richmond took back its rightful throne as the AFL's bidding kings.

Once nicknamed 'Bidmond' by rival clubs, the Tigers placed four bids over the national draft on rival father-son or Academy talent after calling the names of Dylan Patterson, Dan Annable, Kye Fincher and Hussien El Achkar this year.

It was the first time Richmond had placed a bid in five drafts, taking it back above North Melbourne and Sydney as the AFL's most prolific bidders since new father-son and Academy rules took effect in 2015.

The Tigers have placed a total of 13 bids across the last 11 years – with four of those successful – taking 'Bidmond' back above the 'Bidney' Swans and the Kangaroos as the League's best bidders.

West Coast joined Richmond in placing four bids this year, with the Eagles forcing rival clubs to match selections on Zeke Uwland, Harry Dean, Jai Murray and Beau Addinsall with their series of first-round picks.

Fremantle (Adam Sweid and Tylah Williams) and North Melbourne (Koby Coulson and Jack Ison) were the only other clubs to place multiple bids this season, with a total of 10 clubs placing bids across the past two nights.

The Western Bulldogs (Lachie Carmichael), Fremantle (Sweid), Collingwood (Tyan Prindable), Brisbane (Koby Evans) and St Kilda (Charlie Banfield) were the only sides to place successful bids across this season's draft.
