Draft Camp

[one 4 the road]

Just after some info.
Each club submits a list of players?
How many players on each clubs list?
How many clubs need to nominate a player for him to be invited?
How many to get an invite to state screenings?
Cheers

Yes
Last year was 50
Seems to change depending who you ask, but normally about 4 nominations minimum. They aim for about 75 players at DC. So if only 68 get 4 nominations then they might bump some '3 nomination' guys up.
Any person who gets 1 invite from 1 club goes to SS plus the occasional ring in who has had a strong last few games in the finals.

Who will be some of the top performers this year?

Vertical leap? guessing natunai has it rapped up
20 m sprint?
Beep test?
3km time trial?
Agility?

so to go to draft camp you need 4 clubs to be interested. If you have 3 interested your a chance to fill in the numbers. If you get 1 or 2 than you do state screenings and the clubs who were interested watch those. Some players who have no nominations but perform well in WAFL colts or something get to do State screenings aswell.

What happens if a state player for WA gets no nominations. eg: Natunai gets no nominations will he still get to do SScreenings.

I know Nat will get 16 nominations so dont worry too much about example.

As I understand it the state screening is arranged simply to fulfil the requests of the AFL clubs. So no: it doesn't matter if you're a state rep or even an AA. If no club is interested in your vital stats (or, more rarely, they want to keep you hidden), you don't get to go to state screening.

Any idea if they conduct any tests for kicking distance or kicking accuracy off both feet.

I'll be flabergasted if someone tells me they don't do this.

At a guess, prepare to be flabbergasted.
