To me it is complete amateur hour that the AFL don't give us all the results of these tests, instead of only giving us the top 10.

I'll usually get all of them once the week is done, and while I don't post in slabs, can always take requests if there's someone you particularly want to know.

Results post has been updated.

I should mention, I forgot my tip to take out the kicking (Luke Valente) isn't actually testing because of injury. I maintain he would have won it otherwise. And speaking of injury, Shane McAdam won't be taking part in the remainder of testing due to a calf strain. Unfortunate because he'd have given the running jump record a real shot.

In other news, Riley Grundy was the best performer in the psychomotor testing - all about reactions and coordination.

And Jack Lukosius has one of the nicest right boots I've ever seen...

he is a beautiful kick of the footy, other than his long left and short left he nailed them perfectly

for me Riley Grundy is just behind Koschitzke and Reid as the 3 best tall defenders, i think Khamis is a level behind them

THanks a lot for the offer. My complaint was more that the AFL should do it themselves. They should give us every result from the combine testing (other than the medical stuff which is private), not just the top 10 results. If the AFL wants fans to engage in the draft discussion they have to give us more information.

Agree'd , i'd rather know about a "quickish" guy who is good at ball skills, than the fastest guy who has never played footy.

Don’t do it P4L, believe me you will be inundated with requests about guys who were way off getting rookied, let alone taken in the main draft.

I would assume that anyone who got an invite to a combine would not be way off getting rookied, otherwise the clubs wouldn't be inviting them.

You’d be surprised. However, the state Combine ones attracted more enquiry, probably from their mates who think the testing results might make the difference.

There was a kid who clocked 5.53 in the 2km sprint from the Rookie Me Academy last night when they had the opportunity to test after the athletes

I only made one request last year? Still reckon JJ was worthy of a rookie spot.

Absolutely! I thought he was worth more than that. Yet he only got 2 VFL games this year in a struggling side. Maybe we were both wrong.

Gunned it up all year for East Point in the BFL and one of their best players along with brother Matt in East Point's big Grand Final win.

Yeah I know it's at a lower level but he's a very clever forward with outstanding aerial ability and x factor.

Yep. All forms of vertical jumping. So irrelevant to football.

[eDPS]

Ben King under 3 seconds for the 20m

 

[Jazny]

Chayce is a machine

 

[HedgeFund]

Ben King under 3 seconds for the 20m

He’s no Boyd/Patton/Schache KPP.

Neither is his brother.

 

[philthy05]

I didn’t know McKenzie was that quick. I’ve barely watched him though but yeah, that’s pretty fast isn’t it? How does it compare to other years?

 

[Ravenhawke]

He's got a terrible left foot.

He scored 16 which is a very poor score by his standards....and the short right getting called a 4 when it went over the head of the person he kicked it to was very, very generous by the marker to say the least.

Perhaps he's desperately hoping Gold Coast don't pick him at 3

 

[Jimmae]

Any sprint and agility times for Walsh?

Kid can’t run quick. Don’t draft him.

 

[Jimmae]

Kid can’t run quick. Don’t draft him.

Don't actually want to.
