THE inaugural NAB AFL Women’s Draft Combine has been completed, with a strong contingent of players taking part in the testing at Etihad Stadium.

While possible number one pick Chloe Molloy sat out the testing due to injury, fellow TAC Cup best and fairest winner Bridie Kennedy shone on the big stage. She topped the new yo-yo test (which replaced the beep test), recording a score of 17.3, while also being the first home in the 2km time trial in a time of seven minutes and 29 seconds.

In the other events, Pippa Smyth was the clear fastest in the 20m sprint, completing it in 3.24 seconds, while Calista Boyd and Renee Cowan were six hundredths of a second behind. Jessica Allan produced a massive running vertical jump of 76cm, 11cm clear of Smyth who finished second just ahead of Jasmyn Hewett. In the agility test, Ruby Blair finished in 8.495 seconds just ahead of Daria Bannister and former ice hockey player Sophie Abbatangelo, whose performances for Diamond Creek this year have not gone unnoticed.

The inaugural AFLW draft will take place on October 18, with Molloy, injured star Isabella Huntington, Calder Cannons pocket rocket Monique Conti and Gippsland Power defender Darcy Guttridge among a number of players touted to fill out the higher Victorian picks, dominated by the Western Bulldogs.
