Draft camp 08

[McLean_4_Captain]

Yeah that's right, no tests today. The schedule is:

Wednesday - fitness assessments and psychomotor tests which measure reaction time, decision-making and peripheral awareness.

Thursday - Sprints, vertical leap and agility, beep test to be held at 5pm.

Friday - three-km time trial in the morning, with a skills session to finish the camp later that afternoon.

So the main one's everyone is interested in aren't until Thursday.

Underrated? Its the one thing everyone is raving about! His question marks are over his actual footballing prowess. I think you must have meant to say overrated?

 

[Yze2Robertson]

no i meant underrated

 

[Cruiser23]

Just a small one, but i'm interested to see what height Ryan Schoenmakers actually is. If he is as tall as a few people on here are saying (194+cm), think he might be climbing a few ranking a little, well mine anyway.

 

[neng]

Agree with all you said, especially re Hill and Blight.

Jetta should be just about the best W.A kid in agility, although Blighty might surprise some.

I've been told Smith isn't testing, but that's not confirmed.

One of the teachers at my school knows Ali very well (he got him to do a referral for AFL clubs im pretty sure) and says he has OP. So no to draft camp for Ali Smith

Hunt from sandy dragons will do very well in the 20m sprint and 30m repeated sprints.
Can consistantly run in 2.8-2.9 for the 20m.
and dd a 25.9 in the repeated sprints and was just taking iteasy to get a feel for the test.

I think if he's 191+ he'll go upwards in rankings a fair bit.

Plays fairly tall as it is.

Plays fairly tall as it is.

He is, bookmark it Around 194-195 at a guess.

Should go alright with pace/fitness for his size too.

Happy campers join NAB AFL Draft screening

FOOTBALL is over for the season. The grand final has been run and won by the Hawks, the Cats have slunk off home around the bay, and the footy has been packed away in the cupboard.

Right? Wrong.

The 2008 NAB AFL Draft Camp begins on Wednesday (October 1) at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra and finishes on Friday.

The camp has become an integral part of the final assessment of players who are being considered for the NAB AFL Draft, which will be held on Saturday, November 29.

In 2007, clubs drafted 48 players from the camp onto their main lists, and a further 13 players were rookie listed.

Apart from the 75 players attending this year’s Draft Camp, another 123 players will be tested in early October at half-day screening camps being held in various capital cities.

The players will be put through a variety of tests, including:

* Fitness Assessment (Height/weight, skin folds, arm length, hand span)
* Psychomotor Tests (Reaction time, decision making, peripheral awareness)
* Sprint, agility, vertical jump testing
* Shuttle Run (the infamous beep test)
* 3km Time-trail
* General skills test

Stay tuned to afl.com.au for the latest results, stories and videos with all those involved in all aspects of the camp.

I will have a Thread for the Video's when they come out

Threads merged.

 

[Banga19]

When do results get released? Are they all released at the end of the camp?

 

[borderbarry]

They would have done the measuring of the boys heights and weights on the 1st or 2nd day. Anybody have any idea how we can gain access to the results?

 

[sinepari]

you won't.

not yet anyway.

 

[Salaryman]

Pretty sure they don't do any testing on the first day, so I wouldn't be holding the breath for tonight.

On CFCTV Shane Rogers said they did the repeat sprints on Wed afternoon

 

[bringbackschwarter5]

Dayne Beams is probabley the first draftee i've seen with sleeves

 

[smiddaz123]

Natanui shouldn't be drafted with that hairstyle.

 

[KING-JAMES]

Few of those photos are good look a likes for current players. Bit of Bryce Gibbs, Dale Thomas, Pat vezpremi, Daniel Motlop esk looks
Big Nicko has such a marketing face for the club who picks him.

Yeah bit of a clone for obvious reasons. How many bloody motlops are they?

 

[RoganSaint]

I know nothing about the draftees however it did strike me that it is rare to see a player with tats to this extent

 

[Dave The Man]

That would be a Strike Against him. Is he even 18 because I don't think he can have Tatto's like that at just 18?
