THE list of 2021 AFL Draft Combine invitees<\/a> was released on Monday, with 90 of the country’s brightest prospects selected to show their athletic wares next month. The list will be extended to 120, with 60 of that total allotment set to attend the National Combine on September 29-30 at Marvel Stadium. The remaining 60 invitees will participate in state-based testing days held around Australia.<\/p>\n

>> Top 25: August Power Rankings update<\/a><\/p>\n

Among the initial 90 invitees is an even spread of talent from each National Championships region. With Victoria supplying around half of the usual draft intake each year, 41 of the state’s best prospects (19 country, 22 metro) earned invites. 11 of the 13 included Allies squad members also turned out at NAB League level, giving the competition strong representation.<\/p>\n

The West and South Australian crops look strong as ever, with both states producing 18 players to the initial intake. Among them is pick one candidate Jason Horne-Francis<\/strong>, who features alongside South Adelaide teammates and fellow first round fancies, Arlo Draper<\/strong> and Matthew Roberts<\/strong>. Subiaco pair Neil Erasmus<\/strong> and Matthew Johnson<\/strong> lead the WA contingent, along with a raft of key position options.<\/p>\n

>> Indicative draft order: Who’s in the top 10 mix?<\/a><\/p>\n

There aren’t too many surprises among the allotted crew, with only one player chosen outside of the Under 19 realm and 87 of the chosen 90 born in 2003. 20-year-old Central District key defender Leek Alleer<\/strong> is the lone ‘mature’ ager, while Eastern Ranges’ Corey Preston<\/strong> and Giants Academy member Harrison Grintell<\/strong> are the only 19th-year players in the mix.<\/p>\n

For the most part, players have been selected directly from the representative squads put together ahead of this year’s National Championships, which continue to be postponed. Tasmanian Will Splann<\/strong> is one who came from outside the Allies squad, while Northern Knights pair Anthony Caminiti<\/strong> (tall forward) and Ned Long<\/strong> (midfielder) did not feature for Vic Metro after trials – though, the latter was injured.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Nick Daicos is a pick one contender<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nineteen players are club-tied, split between father-sons, Northern Academy products, and Next Generation Academy (NGA) hopefuls. Oakleigh Chargers teammates Nick Daicos<\/strong> (Collingwood) and Sam Darcy<\/strong> (Western Bulldogs) are father-son candidates who could yield bids within the top two picks, while Jase Burgoyne<\/strong> (Port Adelaide) will likely end up at Alberton outside of the first round.<\/p>\n

Giants Academy standout Josh Fahey<\/strong> headlines the Northern Academy input, along with fellow AFL Academy member Austin Harris<\/strong> (Gold Coast). Top 10 candidate Mac Andrew<\/strong> looks set to be the sole NGA product taken before pick 20, but there is plenty of talent clubs will have exclusive access to.<\/p>\n

Among them is rising St Kilda-tied pair Mitchito Owens<\/strong> and Marcus Windhager<\/strong>, who impressed enough to earn Vic Metro selection. Over in WA, ruck\/forward Eric Benning<\/strong> (Fremantle) and athletic utility Ethan Regan<\/strong> (West Coast) have risen into contention, and the has been conjecture over Jesse Motlop<\/strong>, who also features as a Dockers NGA selection but will only land there past pick 40.<\/p>\n
