2014 AFL Draft Combine

Something like there are a set of numbered cones which the player stands with his back to. On command he's given a number and expected to spin around and hit the target.

The fact Gary Rohan is a past winner gives some idea of its utility, and pretty sure clubs have much more sophisticated ways of measuring kicking internally.

That's pretty much it.

You want a guy picking the best option rather than a number.
It should be set up like a cops shooting test with having cardboard cuts out popping-up - team mates rather than innocent grannies.

You're an ideas man.

That sort of talk will get ASADA's attention.

Absolutely. In short, you want the best footballers.

I liked how decision making was the only one without a test - yet Steve Johnson wrote a couple of weeks ago it was one of the most important attributes to have.

Are you saying you want all our draftees to have decision-making skills as good as Steve Johnson?

Nathan Drummond the overall draft combine best performer? Was in top 10 for all tests except agility.
