Spoke with Stephen's mum today yes he's going to the draft camp got his invite....![]()
He should be one of the stars of draft camp. I'm expecting him to test very well in the 20m sprint, beep test, vertical jump and 30m repeat sprint test, particularly.

As far as I know the amount for draft camp varies depending on spots available. For example, if there is a larger spread of nominations from the AFL clubs then 4 clubs may get a guy across the line, if there is a narrow spread then it might be a bit higher. This year I believe it was quite a wide spread, not far off 200 guys are being tested all up at DC and SS.i thought i was sure about the criteria, does anyone know because i have heard its 7 clubs for draft camp and 4 for screening????

Not that terrific. Poor decision making. Wouldn't have been surprised for him to get SS, but didn't really expect him to.Was Bryce from bushies stiff not to get invited or SS? or is he not that terrific?

Draft camp- Mckernan and Trengove
Screening- Duhau and Hayes
Congratulations to Bryce Carroll- shows that adversity can make you or break you. Terrible decision by the Cannons last year not to give him a preseason.
Wait............. They won the premiership, had 7 players drafted and 3 more rookied
You cant get every decision right and I would have thought it is hard to criticise a successful footy club in making a wrong decision- ironically Andrew Dahau wasnt invited to the preseason last year as well- he didnt crack the shites he worked on his weaknesses and will most likely win the Cannons B& F.
Johnny Rayner is out for the rest of the season with a back stress fracture- Outstanding athlete and very clean- real chance to go.

isn't all of this is technically "unofficial".. no player has recieved an invite yet as far as i'm aware, just been told by their coaches that they're on the list.. so the blokes who've been mentioned here will all be at draft camp but they haven't got 100% confirmation yet.. be careful with names folks.. i'm sure people won't be happy if their names get mentioned and the invite never comes![]()

No Joey Daye? Can anyone tell me how he has been going this year? He moves pretty well and has a bit of height.Dayne Beams only guy from queensland to draft camp
Joey Daye has had op he had an average championships and would question hes work ethic although he has alot of talent, just doesnt use it enough.Beams very well deserved had terrific champs and tac cup games, i beleive there wouldve been a few more if some boys hadnt of signed with gc 17 but not to be.Maybe Joey got state screening?No Joey Daye? Can anyone tell me how he has been going this year? He moves pretty well and has a bit of height.
Definately would've had more to draft camp and screening if they hadn't signed with GC17.Dayne Beams only guy from queensland to draft camp
Dayne Beams was definetly worlty of getting an invite. Great to see.No Joey Daye? Can anyone tell me how he has been going this year? He moves pretty well and has a bit of height.
butcher would definetly be going to draft camp?
Players who didnt get a draft camp invite can definately still be drafted. They should still fill in their nomination for the draft. There are always a few who get picked that didnt go to draft camp or screening, with AFL clubs opting not to reveal their interest in guys that they may think are smokies.can those players that don't get a draft camp invite still be drafted ?? how does it work - do they have to nominate themselves for the draft ?

Do people have to fill in a nomination form to go into the draft?Players who didnt get a draft camp invite can definately still be drafted. They should still fill in their nomination for the draft.

The best thing anyone who didn't get an invite can do is go out their in the last month of footy determined to 'stick it up em' and show that they've still got something to offer. Going into shells and dropping the head is natural cos they'll be disappointed but it is no good!
If a players form warrants it they may even get a late draft camp or screening call up.
