30 PLAYERS were added to the 2021 AFL Draft Combine list yesterday, taking the total invitees up to 120 after last month’s announcement of the initial 90. AFL clubs lodged the expanded list of prospects, who will participate in fitness testing events among their respective states.

South and Western Australian have contributed eight players apiece to the updated allotment, including players with ties to top level clubs. Adelaide Next Generation Academy (NGA) product Isaiah Dudley is among the SA representation, while West Coast NGA candidate Richard Farmer joins Melbourne father-son hopeful Taj Woewodin and his East Fremantle teammate Josh Cripps, the brother of Carlton’s Patrick, on the list.

There are also a few mature-age prospects vying for higher honours, headlined by 20-year-old Williamstown key defender Charlie Dean. The Sandringham Dragons graduate attended 2019’s Victorian draft combine but was overlooked in consecutive intakes, before impressing at state league level in 2021.

Fellow 2001-born talent Ronald Fejo Jnr also features. The Northern Territory native lit up his local competition and has since impressed for West Adelaide in the SANFL with his speed and skill off the wing. West Perth bigman Noah Pegoraro rounds out the mature-age selection, having put up career-best numbers in the WAFL this season.

13 NAB Leaguers will earned an opportunity too, adding to the strong selection seen among the overall crop of 120 invitees. Among them are another four Sandringham Dragons and seven defenders, with clean kicking and intercept marking types clearly in vogue. Metro regions hold the majority of the split, contributing nine prospects.
