ADELAIDE will head into next week's NAB AFL Draft without any rights over Ben Jarman after deciding not to nominate the small forward as a father-son pick.

Clubs had to confirm by Friday whether they would nominate father-son prospects ahead of next week's draft, with the Crows choosing not to have any bidding rights on the son of premiership hero Darren.

The club could still pick him up at the national draft with one of its picks, but if another club picks him the Crows will not get the opportunity to match a bid.

If Jarman is overlooked by every club he could join the Crows as a father-son rookie selection. Adelaide would need to nominate him under those rules next weekend in the two days between the national and rookie draft to get immediate access to him as a rookie.

Had the Crows nominated Jarman at the national draft and he didn't received a bid, they would have been forced to use their last live selection to grab him. The option of not nominating provides them with more flexibility heading into the event.

"As we have previously stated, we will be true to our talent order, which Ben is part of, and see how the draft selections fall," Crows list manager Justin Reid said.

The Cats have decided to do the same with father-son prospect Sam Simpson, having chosen not to nominate him ahead of next week's draft. However Geelong will pick him as a father-son rookie if he gets through the national intake.

As expected, Collingwood nominated Callum Brown and Josh Daicos under the father-son process, as did West Coast with medium forward Jake Waterman.
