NINETY six AFL Draft hopefuls will test themselves in their respective states over the next couple of months with the 2020 NAB AFL Draft Combine List released by the AFL today. Of the 95 players, those who played in either the Under 17s All-Stars game on Grand Final Day last year, or representing Australia against New Zealand, have also been included. The remaining players were formed after all 18 AFL clubs were asked to nominated 15 players outside the automatic entries, with those who received four or more club nominations invited to test.

Of the 96 players nominated, Vic Metro leads the way with 25, ahead of Vic Country (22) and South Australia (20). Western Australia is next with 12, followed by Queensland (six), New South Wales (four), Tasmania (four) and Northern Territory (three). For those in the Northern Territory – Joel Jeffrey and Brodie Lake as well as Queenslanders Alex Davies and Max Pescud – the Gold Coast Suns can take them outside the AFL Draft. Among others to be included are father-son prospects, Maurice Rioli Jnr (Richmond), Luke Edwards (Adelaide) and Taj Schofield (Port Adelaide), as well as a host of highly touted Next-Generation Academy members.

In terms of club representation, the Sandringham Dragons and Geelong Falcons have the most nominations with eight apiece, one ahead of Oakleigh Chargers (seven). The next highest are a number of clubs with four players testing, including Calder Cannons, Northern Knights, Murray Bushrangers, Glenelg, South Adelaide and Woodville-West Torrens. Four Gold Coast and Brisbane Academy players are also testing, with two Sydney and one GIANTS Academy players testing.

Tasmania will be the first state to hold its Draft Combine, starting on September 21. Following them, South Australia and Western Australia will test on September 30, with Northern Territory and Queensland to test on October 3. New South Wales will have a later testing date on October 25. Victoria is yet to announce combine dates, which will be dependent on the State Government regulations.
