The 202cm ruck / key position prospect was the only player to be nominated under the scheme and now all that remains to be determined is how much the former Geelong Falcon will cost the Dogs.
Under the bidding system introduced last year in an effort to make the rule more equitable, rival clubs have the opportunity to bid for a nominated player with the nominating club then compelled to use its next highest draft pick to claim him.
In this scenario it appears almost certain that the Bulldogs will have to use their first-round pick (No.14 overall) as a few clubs, including St Kilda which has pick 13, are reported to be interested in making a bid for Cordy.
Prior to 2007 Cordy could have been claimed with just a third-round pick, but the club's general manager of football, James Fantasia, was unfazed at the prospect of expending a precious first-rounder on the highly-talented junior.
"The paperwork has been lodged and that was lodged a few weeks ago and now we've got to wait until Monday for the pre-father/son bidding," Fantasia said of the meeting where it will be determined which draft pick the club must use on Cordy.
"Realistically we are expecting clubs to bid on Ayce and our first three picks are 14, 32 and 48, so we're expecting him to go with one of those picks. But Monday will come around and we'll get it all done and dusted.
"No matter what happens, we'll be taking him as a father/son [selection] and we're delighted about it."
The son of Brian Cordy, who played 124 matches for the club from 1981-88, has been touted as a possible top-five pick in an open market despite missing most of his last season of junior football after undergoing a shoulder reconstruction back in June.
The lanky Ocean Grove teenager joined the Bulldogs for a short spell of pre-season training in January this year and also toured South Africa as a member of the elite AIS-AFL Academy.
He impressed at the recent NAB AFL Draft Camp where he finished fifth in the agility test despite his imposing height.
This year's single father-son nomination is down on the 2007 intake which saw three players drafted under the unique scheme.
Darcy Daniher, son of Anthony, was snapped up by Essendon with the 39th overall pick, while Geelong Falcons teammates Jaxson Barham and Adam O'Donohue went to Collingwood and the Cats respectively with both clubs using their final round selections after no rival clubs expressed interest in the pair.
