Not quite draft camp, but state screening gives the lesser knows a chance to strut their stuff in front of AFL clubs and interested observers.
Alex Goodingham and Jake Hall both cracked the 15 in the beep test.
Justin Van Unen had shoe dramas during his beep test, his shoe coming off, led to all sorts of drama, and effectively shot his beep test but he got a fair way through (into the 12s I reckon).
Murray ruckman Andrew Browne ran the worst beep in the 11s.
Amazing how quickly some guys hoisted the white flag, going from cruising to stuffed within such a short time. The pain barrier for some isn't great. Alternatively seeing how determined some guys are to keep pushing despite clearly struggling. Angus Lapin from Melbourne Grammar was clearly struggling in the 10s, but pushed and pushed to get 12.6 which was good. When you see white faces and guys who look pretty close to spewing at the end, it makes you realise what a punishing exercise the beep test is.
Dont know the sprint times, although a few dinosaurs graced the sprint course!! Amongst the fastest were Steven Gaertner and Luke Rounds.
Fair to say the VIS who did the testing underestimated the height a few of the AFL boys could jump. Zachary Clarke and Jayden Post I think both well cleared the top of the measuring equipment so there were plenty of adjustments and extensions of the equipment going on.
Little wonder some guys have injury issues when they get into the AFL, some of the guys are so big for 17 or 18 years of age. Suppose they're smashing the weights from 16 years of age.
