After the TAC finals (give or take a week or two) players are invited to the AFL draft camp. After that has happened some of the left-overs are invited to the state-based screening camps. Therfore the guys at screening are the ones outside the top 80-100 (however many they invite this year to the draft camp).

The tests are mostly a series of measuring ones. Vertical leap, sprints, beep tests, bench press etc. All very dull.
 
I was just looking at both the Draft Camp and State Screening Lists for this year and there are a few surprises.

Where were u able to access the lists from


A friend at the AFL, the attendees haven't all been advised as yet so it's still not publicised.

Mick I've got to say that Aaron Bowers not invited to Draft Camp has really suprised me.

Yes I suppose so but from my perspective it's not as big a surprise as the omision of Swallow. I am fairly confident that he will get picked up well before Bowers not to mention Cox.
As I said there are some surprises.
 
I think it's a surprise that only about 40 have been invited to the Vic Draft Camp. I thought they usually invited more than that.

I presume you mean the Vic Screening? where there has been 61 invited. 41 from Vic M and 20 from Vic C.

If you mean the Draft Camp not the Vic Draft Camp there are 25 VicM AND 14 VicC.
 
Mick Ryan,

Is there any chance of releasing the 25 vic metro players and the 14 vic country players who were invited to draft camp?

I am told that the players concerned haven't all been advised as yet so it wouldn't be right for me or anyone else to post them on here, not yet anyway.
 
ive been trying to get my hands on this list but have not been able to.
i was told that all invitees went out and they got them wednesday and thursday.
they also find out from their regional manager at training as well!
it is a very hot list and everyone wants to see it so it time that you post it so we can get some discussions going about who was and who wasnt invited.

Are you prepared to come out with the lists yet Mick Ryan????


If there is anyone in particular that you want to know about let me know and I'll have a look for you.

NO, nor the WA Screening.

I was only joking Mick, I didn't expect you to answer. But I am interested if anyone else at West Perth got a gig besides Lecras? Maybe Josh Smith?
